College is also part of consumption
Econjeff wrote a blog which share the same idea I have had since 2006. The article is available at
http://econjeff.blogspot.com/2009/05/college-as-consumption.html
So given the fact that the return on the ivestment in college is less than the cost, Chinese people are still rational to maximize their utility. This argument kills the debate whether it is worthwhile to go to college or not that prevailing in the last few years.

Ease high unemployment rate in China
From All things considered, NPR
In China, the case of a college sophomore who was elected village chief has focused attention on a new policy to encourage educated youths to serve in rural areas.
The policy's aim is to improve local governance and develop the rural economy, while easing high unemployment among college graduates.
Several times during the past century, young Chinese have been at the center of social movements aimed at reforming China's rural society. They often found it more resistant to change than they thought.

Passion from the White House
Obama’s Man on the Budget: Just 40 and Going Like 60 at NYT
To appreciate Peter R. Orszag's way of living.
...
His own health care conversion occurred when a doctor told him several years ago that he was at risk for cardiovascular problems. Mr. Orszag changed his diet. Each day he eats the same egg whites for breakfast and salad topped with chicken for dinner, all from the White House mess.
He also began training for marathons, sometimes startling colleagues by appearing in their offices at day’s end in head-to-toe spandex.
Now he keeps two books on his desk: the teachings of Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher who espoused dispassion and self-discipline, and “The Strenuous Life,” by Theodore Roosevelt, an ode to pushing oneself as hard as possible.
But even Mr. Orszag admits worry about whether he can accomplish anything near what he hopes.
“If you look at the tenure of O.M.B. director in the past, it doesn’t seem to be very long,” he said on his early-morning ride to the White House, a 5 o’clock shadow already creeping over his face.
