Right now you can get a very good paying Chinese factory job ($2000/mo) in Guangzhou making clothing for a "Shein" factory. Your hours: 11.5hrs/day in 3 shifts, 7 days/week, Sunday evening off. Benefits: 1-2 days off/mo., free room and meals.

goddamn that is brutal. If they were to work in 40-hour weeks instead, it would earn around half that much money which is around the wages of many east European or Balkan nations. But China is a glorious "socialist" nation otherwise.๐Ÿ™„
