Getting drafted?
Volunteering maybe?
Games will get you out early, too.
University students in Beijing are being told they MUST go home a month earlier this summer - to accomodate the Beijing Games which will be held in August.
Career service offices at local colleges are scrambling -where are they going to send the kids? McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut. Not enough to go around.
China will graduate a record number of students this year - 5.59 million.
And Beijing has the largest lot, except maybe for Shanghai.
The Olympics are expected to create jobs for about 10 days + cleanup.

The Games organizers also expect to make good use of some 100,000 volunteers, mostly college students. Some colleges are also expected to award school credit for the service.
For most...it's a longer vacation.
