college diploma is a basic requirement if you want to find a job in china nowadays,no matter what kind of industry you are in. even some labor-intensive industries wouldrequire a diploma from job applicants. as a result, many bachelor’s and master’s degree holders have to give up their academic pursuit and work as doorman, securityguard, busboy, waiter/waitress, etc.时下的中国，无论是哪行、哪业，找工作，张口就要大学文凭。
