Let me explain my point first: if "studious" refers to professional difficulty and interest, then Chinese teaching is not difficult, and it is also very interesting for people who love language and communicate with foreign countries.
If "studious" refers to the future, then I can only say that it is not easy to find a counterpart major.
First of all, we should know what Chinese international education is. This major has many names: teaching Chinese as a foreign language, teaching Chinese as an international language and teaching Chinese to people in other languages. The latest name is International Chinese Education. Specialized courses include modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, an introduction to linguistics and various English classes. They still learn a lot. For example, Modern Chinese will learn the knowledge and rules of Chinese grammar, and An Introduction to Linguistics will learn the differences and connections between languages.
Individuals also experienced a lot of fun in the learning process. If you like liberal arts, Chinese majors are good.
In terms of employment, in the final analysis, it is difficult for liberal arts to find a corresponding major, but in the preparation of public examinations, China religion has an advantage. However, don't lose heart. In the international environment, teaching Chinese as a foreign language is still a thriving sunrise industry. If you are strong enough, you will definitely become an excellent international Chinese teacher!
Obviously, this is an interdisciplinary subject, and then you will find a problem: this major touches on Chinese language, English and linguistics, which will also lead to the dispersion of knowledge. Many things are relatively simple and have not been studied in depth.
