With such fierce employment competition waiting around the corner, more college students are shying away from the job hunting market and turning to matchmaking agencies.

Besides continuing their studies with master degrees, marrying a rich man seems to be the other choice for some female college students to avoid the difficulty of job hunting season. That's why many senior college students begin to visit matchmaking agencies and make "having financial ability" an essential quality for their partners.

Ms. Yin, who has been working in matchmaking for over 20 years, says that the huge competition waiting outside school is just one reason, while being spoiled by parents is another.

Many parents are afraid that their children may suffer a lot when hunting for a job, so finding a good boyfriend or husband can save a lot of trouble and make their daughters' lives easier.
