18 Things College Students Must Do Before Job Hunting_Wulin Blog Network

It is the season for college students to enroll now. I saw a piece of news on the "Boston Globe" which summarized many experts' advice to freshmen. The title was "20 Things to Do Now to Find a Good Job". I might as well copy and comment on it to see how different the concept of university education in the United States is from ours.

First, get out of the library. You can get a degree with a high average score, but you may still not be ready for real work. University is four years of life experience, not 120 credits. In American universities, extracurricular activities are often as important as courses.

Second, start a business in your dormitory. Remember, Yahoo and Google will compete to buy the website you create. This may be the most different from universities in China. Tsinghua University once banned students from doing small businesses. Because of the impact of various universities in Hong Kong, I proposed the "second-class" theory of Peking University and Tsinghua University, and some people refuted it solemnly: Peking University and Tsinghua University have a strong academic atmosphere, while students in Hong Kong always work and do business. According to American standards, universities in Hong Kong are indeed leading in this aspect. Don't forget, Google itself can be classified as a business born in a university dormitory.
