"大四空巢族"毕业怎么办?

大学四年级在一定意义上已经“名存实亡”，很多高校为了就业而“放养”大四学生，一些专家认为在大四阶段大学生学业基本处于荒废状态，这实际上恶化了毕业生的就业环境。

It's nearly lunchtime, and Ren Shangren who will graduate from college in July has just woken up and started to get dressed. He spends most of his time eating, surfing the internet and taking a nap. He says he recently spent nearly 23 hours in his dormitory and only went out for an hour to get something to eat.

"Some of my roommates have internships outside the city. Others have rented houses off campus. So I am the only one living in the dormitory, which feels like an empty nest. I have tried many times to get an internship, but all I get in the end is nothing."

Li Xintian, another college student who will graduate soon says most of her classmates got jobs as soon as the new semester started. But she does not yet know what she will do in the future.

"Sending out my resume is simply a way of trying my luck. Although I have sent out many resumes, it seems that the companies are not satisfied with my qualifications. So now I'm staying in my dormitory most of the time without knowing what to do. All I can do is to surf the internet and listen to music. I really feel lost."

Some teachers say there are several reasons why some graduating students still have not found jobs. They say many students are unable to rationally face setbacks and feel incapable or disqualified as soon they fail to get an employment offer when they go job-hunting. Then when the students have less courage to change the current situation, they develop a very negative attitude to face the real situation.

Zhang Hao, a professor at Guangxi University, explains.

"Campus life is different from social life. Many students have lots of concerns, even fear, before they come out of the university to start a job. So it's still hard for them to adjust themselves and get used to a new life."

The Beijing Youth Stress Management Service Center and Beijing Youth League Committee issued a report this year that indicated 20 percent of university graduates in Beijing said they were willing to work without pay.

Of the graduates with a master's or doctoral degree, 10 percent of the respondents said they would work for free for one to six months. Many respondents said they believed it could be worth working without pay it if the job was interesting and would help them gain valuable experience.

The report's findings indicate that many graduate students are becoming more realistic and flexible about their job requirements.
