More and more people participate in the test for national civil servants nowadays. Millions of graduates choose civil servant as the most perfect occupation. And among them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, occupy considerable proportion.
Their widespread interest in becoming government officals has a lot to do with job prospects. In recent years, job opportunities have clearly being decreasing, but the relatively stable jobs of civil servants have been perceived as a way to beat the odds. It is true that the positions are ideal in terms of a stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as well as respect of others. Especially the sort of “a cup of tea and a piece of newspaper a day” life is quite cozy.
However, the limited positions contrast sharply with too many candidates. The chances of being enrolled are little. Besides, not all the people are fit for the administration. And in the long run, it doesn’t do good to the development of the nation, because quite a few high quality talents gather in the government departments might lead to a waste of resources.
For my part, while the civil service retains certain advantages over other occupations, we should have healthy attitudes about job-hunting and seek jobs in other areas based on our unique qualifications. |
