Public Service Jobs in China and in USA

It is known that public service jobs are very much encouraged in China under the system. But the USA is catching up with the needs of graduates in the public sector.

New York Times,June 29, 2008 Week in Review page 9:
Both Harvard and Princeton have focused on graduates to consider low-paying public service jobs. As I have detected from my past experience, some have great ideals to serve the nation for public interest but the majority would be interested in the private sector for their careers. Now, the US economy is going weaker and the graduates have to find a way to making a living either in the public or in the private sector. Such case may be the same in China. Well,money makes the graduates go,indeed! Folks have to make a living by having a marketable skill. I taught Economics and the Chinese languages,Mandarin and Wu dialect(Shanghai) for the past decades to earn my living in the public and private sectors as I have noted as a lifelong student of economics.

Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao,a graduate student from Shanghai, China in 1947 with the pursuits of Three "Du" as my learning and teaching career. namely: 1. Dushu. 2. Jiaoshu. 3. Xie Shu. Thanks and have a great day,everyday when the readers are aware of the two sectors of the economy. June 29, 2008.
