Dear brother, I have been reading your official account. I was born in 1997 and graduated in June this year. Now I have been struggling with whether to take the postgraduate entrance exam or work.
Reader Hachi recently asked me this question on wechat. Specially used you, it seems that I am in his heart, good good, this feeling of being respected is good, the words are very decent, the meaning is also very clear.
I think it is very necessary to bring this topic out to discuss. After reading the headline, you may think THAT I am advocating the “useless theory of reading”. Sorry, don’t make a decision so early, please continue to read.
I asked Hachi, “Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination to find a better job or to study?” “I want to work in a big factory.”
The question is clear, right? Must take an examination of grind into big factory? The answer is unequivocally no. I looked at the resumes of dozens of big companies, and they clearly stated, “Bachelor’s degree or above.” Chinese culture is extensive and profound, the word “and” is very good, I specially checked its meaning, there are several, but combined with this sentence, the meaning of the word is very clear, see the following:
And, join nouns or noun phrases to show juxtaposed relations, equivalent to “with”, “with”
In other words, my grandma could understand that if you want to work in our factory, you need a bachelor’s degree, and if you are a graduate student, you will certainly meet the requirements. If you want to work in our factory, you must have a bachelor’s degree. If you have a master’s degree or higher, you are more welcome.
I put the word “geng” in quotation marks, and I think you can guess what it means, even though it’s not explicitly stated in the job Posting. I think this is why Hachi took the postgraduate entrance exam.
Then why did I persuade him that it was not necessary to take the postgraduate entrance exam?
I’ll tell you a story, not mine, but my wife’s — then you’ll be more likely to hear it. She studied architecture and graduated from Zhengzhou University. Now she is working in one of our companies in Luoyang. The performance was, naturally, impeccable in my opinion, and if I were her leader, I would certainly entrust it to her — even if it was suspected of nepotism.
As a matter of fact, without me being her boss, she was able to take on important responsibilities in the company. There was work to be done above, and she was the first thought of the leader — though tired, I can testify to that.
According to my wife, she is the only undergraduate in her company, and the rest are all postgraduates or above. When she said this, there was a hint of resignation in her eyes, but in my opinion, more determination.
At this point, you get the idea: a high degree is a good thing, but it’s not the only way to get into a big factory.
If you check out more job postings for higher-paying positions, you’ll see another important listing next to “bachelor’s degree and above” : “three years of experience.”
Looking back at Hachi’s question “which is more cost-effective? Three years of postgraduate work experience or three years of work experience?”, you will also come to your own opinion without thinking.
Besides, Hachi has not graduated yet, and there are still several months to go until June. If she can use this time to prepare, she will have a much more optimistic chance of successfully entering a big factory after graduation. So calculate down, cost performance is high which is low, I am afraid more clear?
If you still don’t agree with me, and insist that I “mislead”, I can’t help it — you can’t make a fool of yourself. Of course, as an attitude writer, I will try to provide some more testimony:
1) Graduate school cannot guarantee you a satisfactory job.
I went to high school with a friend named Ray, whose family was much better off than mine — and I don’t mean that lightly, but I went to his house many times because I was a better player.
Small thunder in those days the score of the college entrance examination and I are about the same, but have not crossed 2 this line. Speaking of which, here’s a piece of gossip. Since my second year in senior high school, I have put my heart into falling in love, which has greatly affected my study. I look at the background data of the official account, there are many people around the age of 19. If you are, you should be careful in love, at least to talk about it, in order to study and love double harvest.
Small thunder choice went up 3, and took an examination of graduate student; I, because do not give up, chose to go to pingdingshan city one high repeat, a year later again failed to go up junior college, three years south suzhou to participate in the work. A few years later, we met again in Luoyang. I resigned from a Japanese company in Suzhou and Ray resigned from Huawei. I quickly found a job in Luoyang, but lei was slow to find a job, and went to Guangzhou.
Understand in the conversation, what small thunder does in Huawei is a drudgery — install router, go to outlying area to run every day, go up the hill to the countryside truly.
2) Companies value a degree, but more your ability and work experience.
Say a black history, I went to junior college, did not fool around. Worried at the end of my sophomore year that I wouldn’t be able to find a job after graduation, I enrolled in training. If you want to say to me at this time, “My second brother is so excellent that his education background is not important”, I really cannot agree with you.
During the training, I was hired by a Japanese company because of my good performance in the interview — ending the training period early. After I joined the work, I tried my best to be the best one among the new recruits. Eight months later, I won the recognition of the superior and became the Team Leader. I, an intern, got promoted faster than any of the undergrads.
3) Three years of postgraduate study is really expensive.
As an afterthought, I didn’t go to college for two years. After all, I was fooling around. If I had been hired by a company in these two years, I would have grown up like a rocket. I can’t believe you’re promising to work harder in three years of graduate school than in four or five years of college — if college is enough work for you, you’re guaranteed to get a job after graduation, which is pretty good.
I can’t rule out that some graduate students are very good and the three years are worthwhile, but many of them are to do odd jobs for their tutors. To say cost performance, I think it is better to enter big factory directly after undergraduate course graduation — again is not impossible.
So much for that. I think the argument is strong enough. If you want to argue back, leave a comment, and I’ll make sure you get on the wall.
