Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead.
     But a recent survey has showed that such desires lack the required support and remain just dreams.
     The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of l,276 graduates in several universities
and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 60 percent of interviewees considered the possibility
of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the 'thinking' stage," it stated.
     Interviewees put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of money and a lack of
business opportunity.
     They also listed lack of business experiences and social networks, the need for advanced study and
objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
     More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then
consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
     Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he
wanted to be his own boss last year.
     But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I would like to run a company in
exhibition services," Guo said.
     The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to
produce exhibition brochures (资料手册) at a low price. He is also confident that his English language skills
can help him do well in the industry.
     Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up
a business right after their graduation.
