But as the gap between supply of inexperienced graduates and the needs of the labor market because bigger, the pressure on the students - sometimes literally - becomes enormous.Global Voices translates and summarizes some of the online reports.

The graduate students not only lose some of their personal information, but also the dignity.More at Global Voices.
