With the rapid development of market economic and the advance of industrialization process, thecurrent society as a whole is in a rational age. Individuals are more or less influenced by their ownrationality and even the social rationality in the process of being engaged in the related affairs and activities.Similarly, postgraduate students, born and grew up under the background of rapidly changed socialtransformation, are an important part of the contemporary youth. How should they choose their occupationorientation, occupation goals, occupation demand, and the strategies of realization when meeting with thecomplicated situations and factors? Not only should these issues be considered by the university students,but they should be greatly concerned by the academics, universities and relevant government departmentsas well.
