Finding a rich boyfriend or husband is more important than finding a job to many female university students in Dongguan, Guangdong Province.

Many local dating agencies have seen their business boom as more and more seniors enter the relationship market in the Pearl River Delta city. Most of them are female students who want to date a rich man before they graduate in July. And some of them have promised to marry upon their graduation if they find the right beau. Fierce competition and heavy employment pressure are some of the probable explanations for why so many female students are putting their hopes in finding a rich man rather than a good job before finishing school.
