What Jobs Do College Graduates Want To Do
College students have a clear idea about their future occupation and boys are to some extent different from girls in their choice as is seen from the graph.
The most striking contrast is in the occupation of teaching: 45% of girl students would like to become teachers after graduation whereas only 5% of boys want to do this job. What boys like to do most is to become managers （40%） and the second largest group is to be businessmen （30%）. Girls also like to pursue these two professions, with a percentage of 15% and 25% respectively choosing these two jobs. 15% of boys want to become lawyers while 10% of girls preferring this profession.
Teaching is preferred by females as it provides a more regular and purer life. Womens patience also fits the job well. Boys consider working as scientists, managers, businessmen and lawyers more demanding and stimulating, so more boys want to show their talents in these fields. One thing worthy of note is that the numbers of girls wanting to do business is not small. This shows that girls also want to do the challenging and exciting jobs.

大学生对于未来职业有很清楚的想法，从上表中可以看出男生和女生在一定程度上有所不同。
最大的区别是在对教师职业的选择：45%的女生愿意在毕业后从事教师职业，而只有5%的男生愿意从事这一职业。男生最喜欢的职业是管理人员（40%），其次是生意人（30%）。女生也非常喜欢这两种职业，比例分别为为管理人员（15%），生意人（25%）。有15%男生和10%女生毕业后愿意从事律师职业。
女生之所以选择教师职业，是因为这一职业更加稳定和单纯。女性的耐心也非常适合这个职业。男生认为科学家、管理人员、生意人和律师更加高要求和刺激，所以更多男生愿意在这些方面展示他们的才华。值得一提的是女生选择生意人的比例很高。这显示了女生也愿意做有挑战和刺激的工作。
