越来越多海外留学生毕业后放弃了与专业相关的工作，转而从事上门做饭等服务类职业。1以吴欣子为例，她曾就读于美国纽约电影学院电影制作专业，但毕业前家庭破产，父亲表示无法继续提供生活费。1为了维持生计，她在洛杉矶从事家政服务，时薪达到一百八十美元。1
随后吴欣子发现上门做饭存在市场需求，于是返回中国参加烹饪培训班专门学习川菜和粤菜，仅用七天完成了十道菜的速成课程。1回到洛杉矶后，她通过上门做饭接单谋生，这项服务的时薪为三十五到六十美元。1类似现象已在北美、欧洲等留学生集中区域形成一定规模。1在悉尼读完大学的张华也采取了类似做法，在寻找本职工作期间通过上门做川菜作为过渡缓冲。1对于这些留学生而言，有人将上门做饭视为临时过渡，也有人将其发展成长期事业。1
A growing number of international students are abandoning career paths aligned with their degrees after graduation, instead turning to service-based work such as in-home cooking.1 This trend has become increasingly visible in regions with concentrated overseas student populations, including North America and Europe.1
Wuxinzi, who studied film production at New York Film Academy in the United States, exemplifies this shift.1 After her family declared bankruptcy before her graduation, her father informed her he could no longer provide living expenses.1 Unable to secure suitable work in her field, she initially took on housekeeping jobs in Los Angeles, earning $180 per hour.1 Upon discovering market demand for in-home cooking services, she returned to China to attend a specialized culinary program where she learned Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine over seven days, mastering ten dishes.1 She now operates as an independent in-home chef in Los Angeles, charging between $35 and $60 per hour for her services.1
Similar trajectories are emerging elsewhere.1 Zhang Hua, who completed university in Sydney, also turned to preparing Sichuan cuisine at clients' homes as a transitional income source while searching for permanent employment in her profession.1 For some overseas graduates, this work serves as a temporary financial buffer, while others have developed it into a sustained career path.1
