“Even my supervisors (are younger). They entered the workforce earlier and got to network and gain experience, but what about me?” she cried.

Unfortunately, the woman was unsuccessful in securing any job offers, prompting her to film a tearful rant that has sparked a discussion on the hyper-competitive job market, as well as challenges faced by fresh graduates in the country.

“So I know a bit of everything but in the end, it’s like I’m not good at anything,” she lamented, adding that she later found out that people who did not attend university were equipped with the same skills too. Although it was a decent wage for a graduate, she shared that her friend has to set aside 2,000 yuan to rent a small space every month and constantly works until the wee hours of the morning. Even on rest days, her friend can be called in to work at a moment’s notice.

The woman admitted that she was brought up to believe that a respectable job would fall into her lap as long as she graduated from a university.The woman shared that she did not even dare to return home for Chinese New Year as her family would constantly pressure her to find a job and urge her to become a teacher or civil servant.

Someone remarked:"I realised more than ten years ago that it is better to learn a hard skill rather than go to university."
