Could I get an engineering degree in the US and use it in China? (lemmygrad.ml)

Basically, I don't want to be an engineer in the US, but I have no choice but to go to college in the US due to my situation. What would I need to do to take steps toward working abroad? Preferably in China. I can imagine learning Chinese is a must, but what about citizenship and other things?

EDIT: Also, what other options you want to suggest?

Ahhh the tones! So fucking hard. I haven't studied Chinese, but another tonal language and it is the biggest roadblock for me. I can learn the grammar and the script, but I feel like I'll never be able to choose the right tones when speaking.

From what I've read, don't worry too much about it. Tones come naturally, eventually.

I hope so! I tend to think I'm just tone deaf :(
