Nowadays, there are a number of college students graduating every year, so it becomes harder for them to find a job. Nearly all of them face the choice between being a small fish in a big pond and the other way round. That is to say, there’ s a heated discussion about whether newly graduates should work in a big city or small town.

As we can see, many university graduates choose to work in a small town. Admittedly, there is not much heavy stress, nor heavy traffic in a small town. Nowadays in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, underground carriages are crowded just like sardine cans in peak hours. Therefore, those who want to save time and energy commuting every day decide to settle down in small cities. Moreover, college graduates are likely to get promotion to senior positions soon since they are more capable than most of their workmates who have no university education background at all.

At the meantime, there are graduates who start career in a big city instead. Some of them contend that one can keep pace with constant change of the world because new development in science, technology or other fields can be firstly reflected in big cities. Besides, higher salary is another temptation. One can get a high salary if he finds a good job although he has to face heavy stresses and various challenges. However, it is also true that competitions and challenges in a big city can urge one to improve himself constantly, and the process of solving them can be a great feeling of achievement.

Personally speaking, I would definitely enjoy my life in a big city. All the drawbacks of working in a small town seem serious to me. For example, transport infrastructure in some rural area is so inconvenient that bicycle is still the dominant means of commute. But modern underground system in metropolitan can help commuters to travel to different districts in a fairly short time. What’ s more, there are other benefits of working in a big city that appeal to me. Bigger city means more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. Better facilities, vibrant night life and all the glitters help develop a feel of success being a citizen in a metropolis. All in all, I firmly believe that working in a big city will provide me a sound base of a colorful life and bright future.
