It’s reported in China Daily that more than 1.6 million people took the post-graduate entrance exam this year reaching the highest record ever. Why do so many college graduates prefer to get a higher degree? In my opinion it’s the huge job-hunting pressure that causes so many young people to take the post-graduate entrance exam.

As we know many companies set high standards and requirements for job seekers. A master’s degree is often a must when they advertise for new employees which means fresh college graduates cannot find a good job. As a result in order to broaden horizons and learn more professional skills more and more young people choose to stay on campus for further education. They believe taking a post-graduate course is a good way to enrich their knowledge and make themselves better equipped for a promising future. In other words they hope to look for a better-paid job in a competitive society with a higher degree.
