This research examined the career decisions of journalism students in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The results of a survey of
482 students indicated that journalism students in these three societies expressed a relatively low level of willingness to work in the journalism industry after graduation. In the sample, Hong Kong respondents expressed the highest level of willingness, whereas mainland respondents expressed the lowest level of willingness. The results also indicated that
the motivation for entering journalism as an occupation was a significant predictor of the willingness to work in the journalism industry after graduation. Course satisfaction and motivation for entering journalism as an occupation were significant predictors of the willingness to pursue journalism as a life-long career.
