Wonderful article in the January 6, 2008 edition of the NY Times: 1977 Exam Opened Escape Route Into China’s Elite.  Enjoy.

This is one of the things I love about China and its people — many (but I recognize in a country of 1.3 billion people not all) who are treated poorly and/or fall on hard times just pick themselves up, dust themselves off and stay focused, and keep fighting to move forward to try to make a better life.

Last quarter we had some nice comments made re: living and working abroad. I just came across this article and questionnaire from TransitionsAbroad.com that helps people size up whether they can hack living and working aboard. It is not terribly scientific, but it touches on the main points — flexibility, adaptability, independent, not a me-me-me person, etc.

Click HERE to check it out and take the 5 minute questionnaire.

How did you score? What are some strengths and weaknesses of the questionnaire and your resulting data set/result?
