Around 8 pm ona Wednesday, my mother called me in a panicfrom Florence. She said my 74-year-old father, Warren Baird, wasmissing

My mom, June, came home that afternoon to an open garage doorand no sign of my dad or his car.Typically this wouldn'tbe a big deal,but over the past few years my dad had begun to show signs of memoryloss.When he didn't turn up by dinnertime, she knew something waswrong.

I live about five hours away in Ball Ground, Ga, just outside ofAtlanta. I arrived in Florence around 3 am. I entered the living room tofind my mom and sister weeping. They had called the police, but because of the late hour and limited resources, the police could not conduct a search until the morning. We felt so helpless. I tried to sleep, butit proved impossible. I wanted to do something-anything-to get people looking for my dad.

Luckily, Florence was my childhood home.I started sending outemails to friends still living in the area, asking them to keep a look-out. I also created the "Help Find Warren Baird" page on Facebook.Just a few hours later, more than 300 people connected with the page. Complete strangers started to comment, promising to share our posts or look around their areas for my dad.

Finally we got the call we had been praying for around noon onThursday. A family in LattaSC,saw an elderly man sitting in car.That same family saw a FaceBook News Feed post about our search forDad and called the police. When we saw Dad, he was confused, dehydrated(脱水的)and weak-but he was alive. He couldn't stand or walk on his own.

Thankfully the policeman that found him stayed with him until we could get there.

My dad came home on Christmas Day and those who were involvedwith our story on Facebook commented to congratulate us, telling ushow happy they were that he was safe.In a world where bad news seemsto be everywhere, it felt like the happy ending all of us needed.

More college graduates in China are seeking for work experience instead of advanced degrees, a survey shows. The practical approach, coupled with a record number of students graduating from college, is expected to intensify(加强) competition in the job market, analysts said.

More than 76 percent of university students said they wanted to work after earning their degrees this summer, up from 68.5 percent in 2012 and 73.6 percent last year, according to poll results from Zhaopin.com, a major online agency, Zhu Bo.

The annual survey also shows that about a fifth of respondents chose to further their education after graduation, while about 3 percent wanted to start their own businesses.

ZengHao, a 25-year-old media major, managed to land a job in a publishing company in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, before he received his master's degree from the University of Macau in June. "Work experience really matters in the publishing industry, and a master's degree is enough for a newcomer to land a job," he said.

Wei Guihong, a program administrator at the School of Foreign Studies at Nanjing University, said about 60 percent of the school's graduates entered the labor market every year. She said that some differences in students' choices after graduation were due to their majors“More and more students majoring in a foreign language choose to go abroad to continue their studies to improve their language skills,"she said continuously, "That's perhaps a bright future.”

Liu Junsheng, a researcher at the Labor and Wage Institute of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, believes that economic conditions play a vital role in shaping college graduates' choices“The global economic crisis in 2008 created a hard time for many employers. There were fewer job opportunities in the market, which forced many students to postpone entering. The economic upturn in the past three years in China has given more confidence both to employers and employees," he said. "Although academic degrees still matter, more and more employers value job seekers' work experience, or in other words, they prefer to hire someone witha bachelor's degree and some relevant work experience rather than someone witha master's degree butfresh out ofcollege," he said.

The Zhaopin.com survey shows that each of the respondents sent resumes on average to about 28 potential employers and received five interview opportunities
