17、 into power,driving people to work towards their goals.Therefore,both parents and teachers exert a lot of pressure on students so as to make them more competitive.However,some experts say to much pressure from academic studies do not necessarily lead to the results that the parents have expected.The
18、 following reasons can support the argument.More and more college students,in recent years,are finding it difficult to find jobs.This may sound strange since college students used to be the most favored people in society.They have received a higher education,hence they are more intelligent,knowledge
19、able than their counterparts who failed to attend college.But chances are that some of them can hardly find jobs after graduating from colleges.There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon.One is that some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world aro
20、und them.They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such factors as working conditions,salary,and so on.Therefore,they are reluctant to accept the job when they are offered to them.Another reason is that the majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market.As
21、a result,they can only sit and miss opportunities.To solve this problem,I think college students should know their own strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the job vacancies.In addition,they should not attach too much importance to material aspects of the job.They should put priority to their future development and their contributions to society in stead.Furthermore,they should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of society.
