Mbeya City, Secondary School No. 2.

"Rod, where are you going after graduation?" Hagens asked.

In the blink of an eye, the graduation season is coming, and the students who graduate from secondary schools in East Africa will also face employment problems, of course, the top grades can continue to stay on campus, but that is only a very small number of people, and most of them still have to choose where to go.

"Who knows! However, according to my grades and my family's arrangement, it is likely that I will inherit the blacksmith shop under my father, or go to the factory, and as for farming, I will not either! ”

"Alas, that's the benefit of mastering a craft, and there's a high probability that someone like me will have to go back to work on a farm in the village."

"Hehe, I'm actually only half a jar level, my father hasn't systematically taught me the craft of blacksmithing, after all, the blacksmith shop is dirty and tired, I basically don't participate in the work when I go home every day, so even if the son inherits his father's business, he has to learn from scratch, and this is also related to the grades, the better the grades, the more outlets, the top can study abroad, and the second can also go to college in China, and the top few in the school can also be assigned a good job."

"You mean I'm a scumbag!" Rod said with a grinning voice.

"You think too much, my grades are not much higher than yours, are we brothers! Moreover, the work of the blacksmith shop may not be much better than that on the farm, and the hammering of iron is also hard work, and the whole village can only rely on us for the maintenance of ironwork all year round. ”

"Kelder, that guy doesn't know where he's going? I heard that his father was going to put him in a government office! ”

"It is estimated that it is not an important position, there is a high probability that he will go to be a small police officer under his father, after all, there are academic requirements for officials now, and if he takes the civil service exam, Kelder will definitely not be able to pass."

"The civil service exam is too difficult and the competition is too fierce, if I have good grades, I also want to apply for the exam, but I have no background and my grades are poor, so it is better to save some registration fees."

In the social environment of East Africa, government workers are inevitably more popular, which is mainly reflected in the middle and lower levels of government personnel.

After all, when the official position is reached, it can be quite good in various countries, so it still depends on the treatment of grassroots personnel.

"It's not bad to be a soldier, but the requirements of the navy are too high, and our school only recruited two people last year, and I heard that the food in the navy is better than that of the army!"

"The army's food is already at the top level, the navy's is just the icing on the cake, and you can get access to more things, of course, the navy also depends on where it is distributed, if it is the South Ryukyu Islands, the poor countryside of the Comoros Islands, wouldn't it be very bad!"

"Hehe, the army is even worse, if it is assigned to Southwest Africa, or the Congo rainforest, it will be very torturous, and there are quite a lot of threats to face."

"That's also better than ordinary people, after entering the army, the treatment will not be bad, and after retiring, you can enjoy certain privileges and have a certain social status, this alone is enough, and now the conditions of the army have improved a lot, you can get in touch with many new things, and your long-term knowledge is not bad."

In recent years, factory construction in East Africa has been more frequent, so more and more graduates can enter the factory to work, which also represents a direction of industrialization in East Africa, and personnel flow towards industry.

In addition to students, the East African government has also moved some of the people working in the east to the west, which is also one of the basic national policies of East Africa.

Populations are unevenly distributed across East Africa, especially in the western region, so migration is important, mostly due to job transfers.

No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant in the city of Mbeya

"This year, our factory will send 15 people to Harare City to work to support the industrial development of the western region, I still advise you to think more, the environment of Harare City is no worse than that of Mbeya City, and in the future, many heavy industries in East Africa will inevitably be placed in Harare City, because the west has more resources, so the prospects are much stronger than Mbeya City." The director of the First Iron and Steel Plant mobilized.

However, there are few responders, which is normal, and those who can work in the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant in Mbeya City are all dragged with their families in Mbeya City, so they naturally don't want to toss to other cities.

"The distance from Mbeya to Harare is not too far, it is only a few days, and it is by railway, which has been arranged, just waiting for the workers to move in, and the proportion of steel production capacity in Mbeya will definitely decline in the future, but Harare City is rising, which also means more stability, even if you are unemployed, there are now more jobs in Matabele Province than in South Salzburg Province, after all, Matabele Province is the first industrial province in East Africa."

Working as a worker in an East African steel plant is not a one-and-done process, the last elimination system, and a group of workers will be screened out on a regular basis, so the factory director will say so.

"Factory director, you said that you are tossing around every day, the steel plant in Mbeiya City is not very good, how can you just think about sending people to the west."

"Hmph, what is the meaning of blind tossing, this is the country's grand strategy, don't feel wronged, in fact, not only our No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant, including government agencies, schools, other factories, and even villages, all require the transfer of people to the western interior."

"The purpose of this is also obvious, the population of the west is too small, so much land and resources are not used, so the development of the west naturally requires the support of the east, and the conditions in the west have been improving in recent years, especially in the provinces of Hohenzollern, Swabia and Matabele, the basic conditions of these three provinces are not worse than those in the east, and even Matabele province has the momentum of surpassing the central province."

The importance that East Africa attaches to Matabele province is obvious, and it is also in line with the geographical location of Matabele province, which is one of the most resource-rich regions in East Africa, from Mbeya to the west, is the central three provinces, and it is one of the most resource-rich regions in East Africa, so it can better connect with the spillover industries and population in the east.

The spillover of industries and population in the east is naturally a coercive act of the government, because according to the population level of East Africa, the eastern region is actually far from exceeding its actual carrying capacity.

After all, the eastern region has more than 2 million square kilometers of land and a population of just over 20 million, which accounts for two-thirds of East Africa's population, and the population density in the east is not worth mentioning compared with the population density of European countries.

"The consideration of the country is naturally for the better development of our country, so it is inevitable to support the west, and the west is not the tiger's den in Longtan, there was a westward movement in the early years, but this slogan is no longer practiced in recent years."

The westward movement is a product of East Africa ten years ago, when the western provinces were the real wilderness, and now the results of the westward movement have long been reflected, including large-scale infrastructure projects such as the central railway, which has improved the living environment in the west, which is now the great industrial change in East Africa.

However, as time went on, the westward movement gradually lost its voice, but the policy has been steadily advancing, which is also related to the decline in the migrant population in East Africa.

"It's easy to go to the west now, I'm afraid it's not easy to go in the future, the opportunity is for those who are prepared, and there are definitely more opportunities in the west than in the east, so think more about the future, and those who want to sign up can sign up with me tomorrow, if the people don't get together in three days, then I can only be assigned according to the old rules!"

As the factory director, the power is still relatively large, but if his subordinates take the initiative, everyone looks good.
