"Generally speaking, there are far more job opportunities in metropolises than in small cities, both in industry and enterprise," said Li Lei, an employee in the career center at Huazhong University Of Science and Technology.
"But in small cities, the shortage of talent can give a qualified graduate a speedy path to promotion."
Another problem is insufficient supervision and control of livelihood issues due to the lack of money and people, according to Yanzhao Metropolis Daily reporter Xie Di.
He explained that many of the food and environmental problems affecting big cities also exist in small ones. But they don't get as much attention as in big cities.
As job-hunting season nears, many graduates will have to decide whether to work in a big city or a small one.
"There's never a simple right and wrong choice. It's just about your personality and what kind of lifestyle you want," said Yue changjun, deputy director of the Economics Department at Peking University.
"The metropolis might suit a person with courage, creativity and initiative. But it you prefer a stable and comfortable life, then provincial capitals and medium-and-small-sized cities might be the best choice."
