The global financial crisis of 2008 has contributed to a more fierce competition in job markets. Increasing numbers of college graduates are finding themselves in a situation where too  many jobseekers are fighting for survival. Our class has had a heated discussion on this problem. Students have different ideas. 70% of them think it makes sense that they realize an early employment by lowering their income expectations thus reducing the burden on their families. They also believe there’re better opportunities for development if they go to work in the west or rural areas. 20% of them consider full employment an unrealistic goal so they choose to continue their further study or go to vocational schools to learn some practical skills to make better preparations for future careers. Finally the rest 10% determine to set up their own businesses. As for me I think after a series of timely measures taken by the government we are confident about and capable of overcoming the current difficulties and challenges and the employment prospects for graduates will be better soon. So all we need to do now is plan and act in ways that reflect the reality to assure that we make full use of our talent and skills.
