China's young workers - overqualified and in low-paying jobs
www.bbc.com
With high youth unemployment rates, Chinese graduates are resorting to working as waiters, cleaners and movie extras.

China is now a country where a high-school handyman has a master’s degree in physics; a cleaner is qualified in environmental planning; a delivery driver studied philosophy, and a PhD graduate from the prestigious Tsinghua University ends up applying to work as an auxiliary police officer.

These are real cases in a struggling economy - and it is not hard to find more like them.

    The difference is how such behavior of individuals are perceived and reacted by other people. Yes such people exist in the US but in the US social institutions exist where when one acts like this the others will very openly reject and denounce such ways of thinking, and in the US for a long time such social institutions held great societal influences, while in China most people will praise instead.

    But yeah now you see why in the US the Republicans have been so motivated in de-funding and ruining many of the already established social institutions
