Working in Big Cities or Small Cities
（1）When asked about where to go to work after graduation,the vast majority
of college students believe that big cities such as Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou would top the list since obviously,employees in these citiesare among the richest as illustrated by the National Bureau of Statistics,with yearly average incomes of 63,549yuan,three times more than that of the country.However,what the students seem to ignore are two other major figures:the cost of living and the happiness index.Taking these into consideration,I would like to deem small cities as the premier choice.
With regard to the cost of living,in big cities,（2）you will be overwhelmed by the prices you have to pay for a meal,a coat,even more depressed by the high cost of educating your children and the unaffordable housing prices.Taking the income and expenditure into account,big cities don’t seem to enjoy a predominant advantage as often is believed.
With respect to the happiness index,（3）you will be exhausted with huge work pressure and going-on competition,and you will be annoyed and angered by the traffic congestion,especially during rush hours.Endless instances on the list totally drag the happiness index of working in big cities to the bottom.
（4）As far as I am concerned,I prefer to start in asmall city.Even though there may not be many big companies,I can have a quieter and less competitive life.【行文点评】

日前，北京大学女硕士苏黎杰因就业连连碰壁，最后作出“雷人”决定：回河南老家和农民工一道学习油漆技术。“怎么大学生不如农民工呢”。“大学生工资不如农民工”是否正常？这在社会上引起了广泛关注和热烈讨论。有人赞成这一说法，也有人持反对意见。其实，工作无分贵贱，在市场竞争的时代，谁发挥的作用大，哪类人才更加抢手，他的工资就有可能更高。

Who Gets Higher Pay:White-collar Workers or Blue-collar Workers?
The fact that the cost of hiring a confinement nurse or yuesao in Chinese can be higher than that of hiring a doctor.That the migrant workers tend to earn more than fresh university leavers seems to totally negate the traditional belief that（1）those who do manual work are bound to get worse paid than those who do brainwork.In terms of who is supposed to earn more,as far as I am concerned,it mainly depends on the role you are playing in your job as well as the relationship
between demand and supply.
For one thing,the more important part you are playing,the more pay you maybe get.For example,（2）
the postmen who are responsible for delivering belongings door to door earn as much as4000yuan monthly,which is more than what most of the fresh university graduates earn.The barbers who are skilled and popular among customers can charge as much as around100yuan per person. People of this kind are having such an important effect in our daily life that without them,our life would not work in a smooth way.
For another thing,the relationgship between demand and supply in the job market can also influence the salary.（3）Thanks to a baby boom this year as well as fewer and fewer women preferring to work as a domestic servant,the price paid for a confinement nurse turns out to be as high as2500yuan.Thanks to more and more projects being invested and fewer and fewer workers being willing to sacrifice health for higher pay,the expenditure of hiring a physical laborer is skyrocketing.
All in all,white-collar worker and blue-collar workers are equal.Anyone who is able and in demand can earn more,regardless of his profession.
