My son graduates college this May, double major, great grades, etc.  He just told me he wants to work in China (he speaks pretty good Mandarin) for a couple of years, then go to graduate school back in US.

I knew he had wanderlust, but wasn't expecting the other side of the planet for so long.......wah!

My SS wants to do this too.  His dad had a fit.  He wants to teach English in China.  My dh said that over there, they can seize his passport because he is supposed to stay there for a year -- if he decides after a month that it sucks, he's stuck for a year.  He's an adult so can make his own decisions but 1 year, or more, is a long time.  Hopefully your son will think on it before making any long-term decisions.

I don't know about that, my son went already for a 4 month period with no problem, through a university exchange program. 

I do worry about something weird happening and him going to jail or getting sick and not getting good medical treatment, though.
