You can't just focus on immediate interests when looking at any problem, but consider it in the long run, so as to bring greater development to yourself. Admittedly, education is a stepping stone now, which is very important for finding a job, but even if you get a bachelor's degree through a junior college. I still can't avoid falling into the embarrassing situation of involution in education. Because tens of millions of graduates enter the job market every year. So even if I have a bachelor's degree, I won't stand out in front of so many competitors. On the contrary, finding a good job opportunity and entering a special industry with rapid development can often leave others far behind.
Although I lost the opportunity to go to college after joining the army, these two years have been very remarkable for the whole person. Both physically and mentally, I can better adapt to the whole society and engage in more complicated work. In addition to these hidden effects, joining the army has also brought great gains to everyone on the material level. First of all, its salary is higher than many white-collar workers. Secondly, everyone can try to transfer jobs internally and eventually stay in the army. This is a fairly stable and well-developed job.
After finishing college, I still need to come out to find a job, and now I have to compete with many peers. Enterprises are eyeing this situation, constantly lowering the treatment, raising the recruitment threshold and squeezing every migrant worker. In addition, the life cycle of many companies is very short, and they will close down in a few years. At this time, they have to find a job again, which takes a lot of time and cost. Finally, career development, unless you find a sunrise industry or have excellent skills, it is difficult to have a bright future in a company. These problems make people have to think and solve, but when they become soldiers, they will not have these concerns.
