Updated: 2008-12-04 07:53 Stable jobs top choice Comment on "770,000 sit exams for government jobs" (China Daily website, Dec 1) Even if the financial upheaval hadn't happened, the competition would still be fierce. We can't deny that civil servants indeed enjoy some privileges in some aspects. I have taken the exam although with little hope of passing it. I admit it is a good exam to select the intelligent. I will take the exam again. I am a teacher in a college, but I want a better job. Chocolate on China Daily website In recent years, an increasing number of postgraduates sit exams for civil servants. They have spent so many years in study and they have to shoulder the responsibility for their family. What's more, they are eager to get decent and stable jobs since they have paid so much for their education. To be a civil servant is an ideal choice. Allen on China Daily website Be merciful Comment on "HIV/AIDS sufferers coming out from the shadows" (China Daily, Dec 1) Life is short. We should cherish our time and do more significant things for the society. Don't discriminate those who suffer from any abnormal disease, because you can't forecast what will happen to yourself. So please be sympathetic and merciful. Cocowang on China Daily website School performance not enough Comment on "Chinese Americans 'all brains, no pay'" (China Daily, Dec 3) The answer is simple: Some Chinese Americans tend to be well accomplished academically, but in the work place they are mostly average. Pay difference depends on their performance at work instead of at college. People do not need to hold meetings to explain their different management styles, but need to produce exceptional results within the rules. I am non-Hispanic white and I have some Chinese American friends. John on China Daily website Readers' comments are welcome.
