Taiwan society still suffers from "diploma-ism": Companies decide the salaries of their incoming employees based on their academic backgrounds; the government prides itself on the number of PhDs in the cabinet; and students from National Taiwan University or Tsing Hua University have an easier time finding good jobs.
目前台灣社會還是「文憑至上」，公司行號的新進職員往往以學歷敘薪、政府內閣則以博士陣容堅強為榮，出身台大、清大，就是比念私立學院容易找到好工作。
