A record number of people are set to take China’s notoriously gruelling national civil service exam this weekend, reflecting the increasing desire of Chinese workers to find employment in the public rather than private sector.
Around 3.7 million people have registered for the tests on Saturday and Sunday, which will be the first since the government increased the age limit for certain positions. The age limit for general candidates has increased from 35 to 38, while the age limit for those with postgraduate degrees has been raised from 40 to 43.

in my country civil service/government work is the only real way to escape a life of being overworked and underpaid by corporations without destroying capitalism.
motherfuckers love to criticize state this and state that, but they pay a living wage.
Which country? Seems like China, India or Pakistan…
add Brazil to that list, govt jobs usually pays better and have stability
