IncomeSourcesofCollegeStudents

Accordingtotheinvestigationoftheincomesourcesofstudents,theincomeofAmericanandChinesestudentscomesfromparents,part-timejobandscholarship.However,thepercentageofeachincomeisquitedifferent:

fiftypercentoftheAmericanstudentsincomecomesfromtheirparents,fifteenpercentcomesfromthescholarshipsgrantedbycollegesanduniversitiesandtherestcomesfrompart-timejobs;ninetypercentofChinesestudents'incomecomesfromtheirparents.

Inmyopinion,themainreasonsforthedifferenceisthatAmericanstudentsaretaughttobeindependentwhentheyareveryyoung,whileChinesestudentsaretakensuchgoodcareofthatitisverydifficultforthemtoliveontheirown.What'smore,Chinesestudentshavefeweropportunitiestofindpart-timejobs.
