Is Civil Servant an Ideal Job? No one in China has failed to notice that in recent years there are more and more people have applied for government position vacancies. Many people believe that being a civil servant is very nice because of its relative higher and steadier salaries, better welfare, and more comfortable working conditions. While others argue that working for government apartments cannot bring those strong points into full play. From my perspective, civil servant is not an ideal job for some people. First, those people whose character is active and vivid may not be suitable for being civil servant. Working for government is to some extent a little bit boring and regular. An active person may not stand doing almost the same thing day after day even year after year. That is also the reason why some civil servants have no choice but quit their jobs after several years. Moreover, civil servant is also not a good and sensible choice for those people with creative talent. These people can do much better and contribute more in a creative profession, such an drawing, dancing and singing. And I can hardly imagine that what a tragedy will be if a talented dancer put away his dance shoes, or a imaginative painter give up his favourable painting brush, just for rushing into the craze of being civil servants. All have being said, in spite of its high salary, distinguished social status and stable career, being civil servant is not suitable for some people. The best way for choosing an ideal job should be based on one's personality, interest and talent. Therefore the individuals and government apartments should have more sensible and objective understanding on the craze of being civil servant.
