Covering the business of education and training

There's a billboard at a college in Changsha city that has the ugly intrigued and the very ugly and poor irate.

The advertisement is for a plastic surgery center and the pitch is 'look better, get a job.'

So far, some 200 college students have inquired.

One girl says, "I'm going to start job-hunting and I'm not confident with my own face. If I don't do something about it, I'm worried it will prevent me from getting a good job."

Another girl says, "There are some pretty girls in

my class. Every year they can easily find part-time jobs, such as sales promoters and banquet receptionists, because of their good appearances. Now, when we are about to graduate, they still can get employed without too much difficulties."

But is it true that a pretty face increases one's competitive abilty in the tough job market in China?

You bet it is.

Should it make a difference?

No...but it does.

Is the knife the answer?

Not in my book.

How about in yours? 

In the advertisment - I think I'll take the one on the left.
