Don't care too much about the gold content of education. It doesn't make sense. In the workplace in China, education is just a threshold. Your role is promotion and salary increase, civil service examination, study abroad, delayed grading, professional chapter evaluation and so on. As long as you have it, the most important thing is work skills and experience. Don't regard education as the lifeline of the workplace. First of all, the threshold is low, the time is free, and there are no mistakes in study and work. As long as you study hard, you can basically complete the course. But to get high marks, you have to graduate according to the deadline, and then get a bachelor's degree and an English certificate. This requires considerable perseverance and cultural foundation.
Managers of private enterprises and foreign-funded companies are mainly concentrated in the post-70s and post-80s. No matter what the reason, family conditions or previous efforts, in short, they are poor. Some positions, especially listed companies, clearly stipulate the academic qualifications they want. Of course, you can compare the self-taught graduation course with the full-time graduation course. The recognition of full-time is basically higher than that of self-taught examination, with exceptions. Some companies or institutions only recognize the name of the school and don't care whether it is full-time or not. The vast majority of people require full-time public examinations every year.
Postgraduate self-study exams are mainly used in the accounting field. You can work with an accounting certificate. If other big companies compete with full-time college students at the same stage, they should not be competitive. There are college students everywhere now. Of course, big companies will not consider students who take the self-taught exams unless you have special abilities.
