I want to work in Taiwan after I graduate, but my big problem is that I am not sure what sorts of job opportunities are actually available for me. Now if I can speak Chinese, what kind of jobs can an American hope for over there?

computer systems engineer, civil engineer, business entrepreneur. trade company minion. model. newspaper editor. physical trainer. security consultant. environmental reclamation. fashion design. web design. agricultural consultant. doctor. nurse. English teaching tends to be where white people who want a piece of the pie get put. The other jobs are usually reserved for returning ABC's. It is possible to get hired for other jobs if you aren't Han, but thats generally only at the multinational biz level, and they are looking for experienced minons. The exception being engineering. That generally is done by hiring German or Japanese or American engineering consultant companies who are based in their own countries. You would not get hired if you were based here. (the theory being that all us ex-pats are weird for leaving our homes and families and there is something wrong or substandard about us.) (The exception to THAT rule being web design. They won't care where you are in the world for that.) If you don't want to be a teacher your best bet is to stay in your home country and get experience in the related field and try to edge your way towards getting placed in Asia at some point. Most likely then you would end up in the PRC, which makes a much different experience than being here. Good luck!

Look at some of these websites for jobs. They have English teaching jobs, but also a section for "Other Jobs".

If you speak Chinese, and write traditional Chinese, you could probably get a job with AIT (American Institute in Taipei) the so-called embassy. If you're half way technically oriented, you can become a local techrep for a number of US companies. There are many US companies in Taiwan, and all you have to do is find one that has a branch there.
