Choices after Graduation

From the above table， we can see that the students of this university have three main choices after graduation. Of these choices， the students who have found a job only take up 50%. In contrast， students who pursue further study by taking the postgraduate entrance exam or going abroad have increased greatly than before， with the total percentage of 47%. Indeed， this phenomenon is also quite common in other universities.

The following factors can account for the choices of graduates. Above all， with the enrollment extension of universities， college graduates are facing the severe employment situation， which forces them to find another way out. Moreover， in information age， knowledge is updated very rapidly. Many college students find their knowledge is not enough for their future career. Besides， some college students would not like to enter into the complicated society and want to escape from the reality temporarily by going to further study.

From my point of view， one’s choice after graduation should be based on his individual condition. Though taking the postgraduate entrance exam or going abroad for further study is a good choice， it is not necessarily true of everyone， because it might involve many factors， such as your future career direction， your economic condition. Therefore， we should take a full account before we make our decisions.
