Adapt to changes in job market

China should reform its education system to better serve its industry and economic development. And the public should eliminate their discrimination against blue-collar workers, says an article in the China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

A doctorate graduate in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University who took a job as a blue-collar electrician in Shanghai stirred wide debate on the value of academic qualifications in modern China.

Many of his classmates have become scholars and executive managers, which are considered proper professions for someone as well educated as him. Some people think that he is wasting his talent as a blue-collar worker.
