Since ancient times, education is the standard to measure a person’s ability. In ancient times, there were no. 1 and No. 2 Tanhua, and now there are Fudan, Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Although college students are everywhere now, children who enter the “city” may eventually return to the original place, some people say: do not “always talk about education”. It is true that academic qualifications do not mean ability, but parents still struggle to get their children into the most expensive classes and the best schools. Have to say, degree is still the pronoun of persistence.
If you have excelled in the college entrance examination or are ordinary and can successfully enter a Top50 university, you will feel very comfortable in life in many cases, because your degree will bring you a certain starting point and make you better in your future work. It is true that I did not have a good degree, but I have suffered from it, but I never complain.
Even if the problem of education is occasionally sour, it is also necessary to analyze why large factories like to recruit people with high education:
- There are many opportunities for school recruitment
College admissions can tell the level of a school in China. The enterprise that goes Top10 school recruit and the enterprise that goes ordinary undergraduate course school recruit absolutely cannot be in the same day. BAT and huawei still prefer to go to Top10 universities for recruitment. Those with a high degree of education may have signed a tripartite agreement with a well-known large company to get an internship trial opportunity before they go out of campus. For those without a degree, college admission is always an unreachable dream for them.
- In-depth research opportunities
People with high academic qualifications generally enter scientific research institutions and are highly likely to be engaged in the direction of in-depth research. Look at the direction of artificial intelligence, machine algorithm, are the Top within the majority of outstanding talents, and the salary of crushing other directions. At this time, the envy of the rest of the people with low academic qualifications arises spontaneously, but also mixed with this trace of bitterness. No academic degree students estimate that machine algorithm is fairyland for him, although can be engaged in upper development, but salary, this second or heart!
- Career height
People with high education are not only liked by foreign companies, but especially by small companies, because they are also the face of the enterprise. If you hear that CTO is a third-rate university, you think that financing and recruiting people can join, not the degree limit height, but the pattern limit height, unless like Jack Ma will fool you. There are also such examples around me. With a master’s degree, I became a second-tier director five years after graduation, and with a second bachelor’s degree, I still worked as a development team leader in 2012. However, this undergraduate has strong ability, but the results are often what we see above.
Programmers with degrees never understand the pain of no degree, just like the day does not understand the black night. Degree determines your starting point, but also determines your pyramid.
Why do companies value a high degree?
- National policy driven
The Measures for the Identification and Management of High-tech Enterprises stipulates that in terms of personnel proportion, scientific and technological personnel account for more than 30% of the total number of employees of the enterprises in that year, and they need a college degree or above.
Since 2016, the policy for the identification of high-tech enterprises has been changed: in terms of the proportion of personnel, the requirements for the proportion of science and technology personnel and research and development personnel have been relaxed. The new measures from the current “science and technology personnel accounted for more than 30% of the total number of employees in the year” adjusted to “science and technology personnel accounted for the total number of employees in the year not less than 10%”, at the same time cancelled the “college degree or above” restriction; The requirement that r&d personnel account for more than 10% of the total number of employees in an enterprise in that year will be abolished. For the large enterprises of part traditional industries, it is beneficial.
- Talent selection trend
The problem has to be looked at from the perspective of company managers: when recruiting people, education is just a minimum threshold; During the interview, through your words and deeds, your detailed actions, to assess your usual habits, people. See if you can fit in quickly. Most companies would prefer someone with a pleasant personality. But why must see record of formal schooling?
On the one hand, people who have read books treat things with a certain logic and thinking. Some people claim that reading books is useless, but in fact, reading books will subtly influence our thinking and make you more logical and comprehensive in solving problems. In a word: the books you read are hidden in your temperament, your way of dealing with people, your logic of solving problems.
On the other hand, there are several kinds of people without educational background. The first kind is qianlima, which is not highly educated but very powerful, but few and far between, and the chance of being discovered by bole of big companies is very small. The second kind of people are those who do not want to make progress and are content with the status quo. Many people give up their efforts when they become leaders, and their vision is narrow. The third kind of people have no principles, no knowledge, waiting for the pie in the sky, etc…… Such people without degrees are rare in big companies. And when you’re in a team, if you’re a manager, how do you develop an eye to distinguish between the talented and the mediocre? If your boss is such a person, you dare to stay another day?
The purpose of a capitalist is to make money, and he doesn’t have a lot of time and energy to spend on human costs. And sometimes the wrong judgment, the rookie recruit to the company, the cost is not greatly increased? Compared with people with good education, the overall quality will be better than those without diploma. Although people with high education also have garbage, it can be screened through further on-site interviews. I’d rather kill 100 than one.
Some people may say that ability is the most important, and ability is very important, but I would say, how many people with ability? For technology, no more than is skilled is not skilled, entry has just, more or see company background and record of schooling.
High education may not be bad, but the side of the bad will be a lot of it. People may know a few boss alumni can struggle for many years less than the average person, now expect to rely on one person’s strong force what is the use? People around are awesome is really awesome, and a low education people around are awesome probability? And there are always people who think that although MY education is not high but I have strong ability ah, but why do you let others think that you are not as good as others in the first twenty years, at least the learning ability is not as good as the students of famous universities, and now suddenly better than others? Knowledge is not money, money can win the lottery, knowledge does not.
Some people may be really skilled, so they think they are folk masters. Haven’t been to top 10 university, but he may even go to the classroom library around a circle of these schools can have feelings, he doesn’t know even if technical ability about two people, a training school and the students’ difference is obvious, get rid of the technical level, also reflected in human affairs to every aspect of life, And there are certain things that technology alone can’t fix.
Of course, sometimes education does not represent seniority, the real skill is accumulated experience over time. Nowadays, people also pay more attention to practice and social experience. For example, when looking for a job, those with working experience are preferred. Therefore, no matter how academic record, knowledge is combined with reality is king, only learn to put into practice, can reflect the value of knowledge!
