Craze for Civil Service Examinations
Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at
various levels in the hope of becoming government employees. Among them, college graduates
are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored. The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to
liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.
In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two
factors – ambitions and comforts. On the one hand, many ambitious college graduates view
these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many
of their other wishes rest. On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a stable income,
enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as well as other comforts of life, it’s quite an
appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish world economy.
Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach, as the nation and the
people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors. The fresh-faced college
graduates, armed with lofty ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best
candidates.
