As is known to all that millions of graduates crowded into the job market each year.

But because of the financial crisis, the situation of the employment has become very

serious. Consider this, some people suggest graduates should have a lower career

expectation, such as working in the western area of China. I in favor of this idea.

Firstly, compared with the big cities, the competition is not as fierce there, but

graduates can easy get a job. Secondly, the lower position may offer graduate

more space. All in all, going to the west maybe bring more benefits. Devote

yourself to the west, for it is both good for our personal development and for our

country at present.
