When Zhou Yuheng came back to school by his electric bike, he had finished a new round of procurement of fashionable clothing. However, it's not the last task. He still had to select clothes and took photos of the details before uploading the photos to his online store in Taobao.

Zhou, who is a Year 4 student of Zhejiang University of Technology, has jointly operated an online store only for three months with his friend, but has obtained a fairly good achievement.

"Since I am a Year 4 student, I am facing the problem of either choosing further study or seeking a job," Zhou said. "It's really troublesome. So running an online store may be my temporary choice."

Exactly, many students feel confused about the future in the last year of university before graduation since it's a key turning point in life.

"While having an exchange program in my third year study in Russia, we students always talked about the future and pondered over whether to  study for a master's degree or get into society straight," said Dong Mengfei, a Year 4 student majoring in Russian at  Fudan University in Shanghai. "Frankly speaking, confusion about working and fear of entering the 'real world' are the major reasons that I chose  to further my study finally. As we make fun of ourselves: graduation means unemployment."

Chan I Kiu, a Year 3 student majoring in Chinese Studies of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said as the graduation approached, she had to make decisions about her future life.

"I had an internship of program production in a TV station in the summer holiday and I found that I'm interested in it. However, I don't know if I should take two years to take a master's degree of Film and Television. Actually, I'm not sure if I'm just on a whim."

"It's true that students who are going to graduate feel anxious about graduation, as they don't know what to do next," said Lei Lai Kei, a staff of the Future Studies and Placement Service of the University of Macau (UM). "For this generation, they have  more choices, but meanwhile they are confused and more stressful."

"I think it's important that one should consider  his/her personality and experience, acquire knowledge and information about future studies and career opportunities, take advice of mentors and parents, and then make plans for one's own life. Don't be afraid, actually you guys have lots of opportunities to do what you want to, even if you find yourself making an unsatisfactory  decision. As a saying goes: all roads lead to Rome," Lei added.

Li Huiwen, Head of Employment Assistance Department of UM Postgraduate Association, said that confusion is normal for the young generation in society which is full of stress and it is necessary for young people to experience and get more information. "Self-orientation is important," she added.

Considering the advice from the two consultants above, Chan still expressed the opinion, "I understand all that, but confusion is still around me. So frustrated!"
