Is French popular? How is the income?

I am a junior in French department, and French is very popular. Recently, there are more and more schools offering French majors in Chengdu, but there are fewer French talents needed, or the information in this field is hard to find, so I need to pay attention to it myself. The places with high demand for French are mainly in coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Zhejiang.

Income is not necessarily. Going to Africa can earn more than 65438+ ten thousand yuan/year. We have a senior who graduated from the French Consulate in Chengdu with a salary of just over 2,000. The French are very stingy. Get ready.

As a translator, as long as it is better, the salary is generally high, and it is great to be able to do simultaneous interpretation. English simultaneous interpretation can earn four or five thousand dollars a day.

Not long ago, it was reported that the average income of French graduates was four or five thousand. I can't remember clearly. I doubt how to investigate it. According to the director of our department, there are more than 30 students in each class, and at most 7 of them end up working in French, and all others change careers. The salary for finding a job is not high either. Our dean has worked for so long and will soon retire. Plus her part-time job outside, it's only close to 10 thousand a month. It is impossible to make a lot of money by French. The starting salary of the four major accounting firms in Beijing is about 6K.
