Jobs for college graduates

They should realize that they are far from popular with employers as they think themselves to be. Surveys indicate that companies that have employed college graduates have found them to shun laborious work, and the knowledge they acquired at university was of no practical use. Many companies have openly stated that they would not recruit new graduates.

Shedding their sense of "elitism" and taking a job at grassroots level is a practical alternative.

In fact, working in a low-ranking, demanding occupation can toughen one's will and help one accumulate experience, and develop competitiveness. In this sense, any job can be a good start to one's career.

Last week, there was a report about a university graduate surnamed Zhong from Chengdu who earned 400,000 yuan ($52,632) this year raising pigs in a remote mountainous village after he quit his white-collar job at a stockbrokerage four years ago.

Raising swine is generally thought to be a low-status occupation. However, Zhong used his knowledge to develop a pig farm with advanced technologies and succeeded in grasping market opportunities. His success could be an example for other college graduates.

Of course, many difficulties college graduates will encounter in rural and remote regions are beyond their abilities to solve. For instance, unfair competition they may face because of corruption and nepotism among local officials; distortion of State policies by some local government departments; poor execution of the law in backward regions, and so on.
