Seeking a title three thousand li away.

The supply and demand dynamics are completely different three thousand miles away from a tier-one city.

If a place is flooded with PhDs, then only exceptional ones can land a job at the sub-district office, and only PhDs from elite universities can become high school teachers. The less outstanding, the non-elite, end up delivering food.

It's not that you only have the skills for food delivery — it's a supply-and-demand problem: too much supply, not enough demand.

If anyone can do the job, why you? If anyone can fill the role, why keep it for you?

The chance lies in not following the obvious path.
