　　As is apparently demonstrated in the bar chart above, we are informed some information in terms of the changes of college graduates’ choices after their graduation in 2013 and 2018. To be more specific, the number of those choosing to engage in a job declined slightly, decreasing approximately 8%, from 68.1% in 2013 to 60.7% in 2018. On the contrary, the amount of those who selected to pursue further study rose remarkably, increasing roughly 8%. While the quantity of those who started a business remained stable and steady, accounting for the least proportions.

　　There are diverse components contributing to the above trend, but generally speaking, they may put down to the following three aspects. Initially, there is no denying that in the past years, quite a few students may be confronted with pressure from finance and family, as a result of which, they tend to chiefly choose to take a job to cover their living expenses, however, recent years it has been obvious to see the recession of economy, so an increasing number of students would like to weapon themselves through pursuing further study. Additionally, in recent years, we have witnessed serious employment situations, coupled with a fact that an amount of individuals would like to fulfill the dreams with higher education, or alternatively some with the intention to broaden their horizons at universities, which triggers people in mounting numbers to select to pursue further study. Ultimately, there is another factor that starting an undertaking is an effective approach to fulfill a dream as a boss and to create more value, nevertheless, they may be faced with a great deal of risks on the way to starting a business, which should be taken into account.

　　Based on the discussion above, a conclusion can be drawn safely that diverse motives drive college students to make various choices after their graduation.

However, facing choices, there is no right or wrong, whichever road you may select, only through constant efforts, can you fulfill your dreams.
