Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China's Zhejiang
province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing,
Shanghai and Guangzhou, first-tier cities in China that have been considered
dream places for many, because of the untouchable home prices and high living
costs.
The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers
who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students.The survey showed graduates are
becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming
better.
The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students with 7,382
positions.
"The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable,"
said Wang Jian from Nanjing Normal University, who acknowledged he had thought
about finding a job in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, but in the face of huge
pressures, he has no choice but to be "realistic."
People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly
salary of between 3,000 yuan ($450)
and 4,000 yuan, but in Shanghai, 5,000 yuan a month can only help you survive
and buying a house will remain a dream,
A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he
just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because
"living costs in Shanghai are too high."
An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try
first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary."I would go to Beijing
only if I can earn 200,000 yuan a year," he said.
"Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that
other cities don't have, but the high housing prices and living costs make
young people barely able to breathe," said Ren Leiming from the job
service center of Jiangsu's colleges and universities.
"First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for
people to be outstanding, and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a
dominant player at your position much more easily," said Ren.
