College students' current employment path is as brutal as a one-way street:

First, millions rush to take civil service exams, government positions, and graduate exams, with all three tracks fully saturated, basically no chance;
After graduation, they find it impossible to get into foreign-funded, joint ventures, or high-quality state-owned enterprises;
They then settle for street vending, creating content online, or laid-back entrepreneurship, only to discover that traffic and customer flow are more competitive than job hunting;
If they can't keep up, they can only deliver food, work as couriers, or drive ride-hailing cars, with 996 becoming 007, both body and mind overstrained;
Eventually, they can't take it anymore and can only do cleaning, nannying, or security work... life basically takes its final shape.
The most heartbreaking part is, this isn't an isolated phenomenon but a systemic downgrading of an entire generation of ordinary college students.
Education says "knowledge changes destiny," but reality hits back hard with employment.
The real way out may never be on the crowded "main road," but rather learning early how to find side paths in chaos, build personal barriers, and generate cash flow.
