Several professions with a plummeting status:

1. Flight attendant. Once a symbol of beauty and nobility, now just a waitress.
2. Bank teller. Once a symbol of high-income jobs, now just someone counting money.
3. Mobile, Unicom, and broadcast television salespeople, no different from insurance agents.
4. Power grid company employees, once the "electric tiger," now true exemplars of the service industry.
5. Supply and marketing cooperatives, grain department officials, once fiery units, now cold departments.
6. Grassroots civil servants. Once a stable iron rice bowl, now, as Zhang Xuefeng repeatedly advises, applying for township civil servant positions—be sure to think carefully.
