Zhang Haijian studies physics, but he is now working as a waiter, making only 1,500 yuan a month. “My parents would never say anything about my money,” he said. “But I sometimes talk with my friends about whether it has been worth it; we worked so hard in college and now I get money less than some of my classmates who did not finish middle school.”
