Only a quarter of Hungarians studying abroad would come home

A survey was carried out on Hungarians studying abroad. According to the respondents, there are much better career opportunities with a foreign degree than with a Hungarian one. Research by the Blochamps Capital Youth Affluent Financial Survey reveals that young people often aim to settle in big cities in Western Europe. The survey interviewed hundreds of young people studying abroad.

Of those surveyed, 26 percent said they would like to find a job in Hungary in the next 5-10 years, while 12 percent have already decided which destination abroad they would like to go to. 14 percent would settle where they go to school. For three out of five young people, career prospects are the main factor in deciding which country to settle in.

Survey respondents think it is easier to find a job in Hungary with a foreign degree. However, they are not valued by Hungarian companies. Those who study abroad think that the salary, career prospects and working environment are better abroad, napi.hu reports.
