While blogging or app development might make sense to teenagers as ways to make money, the idea of working for an industrial corporation draws a total blank. There was a time when pumping oil and mining gold were undoubtedly associated with success. Modern teenagers, however, see the situation differently and require new ways to obtain information about industrial work in the Far East: from the point of view of ecology, social responsibility, and modern career guidance in engineering.
- How do teenagers come by their attitudes towards work in industrial corporations?
