(ECNS) -- The Chinese Single People's Association recently released its "11 Careers in China that Prospective Partners Shun the Most in 2015" list, ahead of national Singles' Day.
Accordingly, civil servants are considered the most undesirable by partners, as they face life pressures due to low salaries amid graft crackdowns, Zhang Yiyi, who called himself the president of the association, said.
Deliverymen ranked number two, for the reason that most come from villages and spent nearly all holidays busy with deliveries.
Stewards came in at number three, followed by poets and writers, although those jobs that seem decent.
Occupations in show business, including singers, actors and actress, models and hosts, are voted fifth.
Computer programmers are in sixth place, only one place higher than migrant workers.
Cooks ranked at number eight, surprisingly one place higher than reporters and editors, who work around the clock.
Painters and calligraphers who struggle to achieve fame are at tenth place, while doctors and nurses last, as they could easily become targets of violence.
