I've been in Beijing for so many years, and I'm an old man in the IT field. Recently, my classmates in my hometown often call.

A classmate said that his nephew was about to graduate from high school, and his grades were not satisfactory, so he could only be admitted to a third-rate university.

He heard that there are many IT training institutions in Beijing, and children are more interested in computers.

He heard that trained students earn a lot of money in Beijing. Now that college students can't find a job, they want their children to practice a mechanical skill and earn money early.

I answered him: If your nephew is my nephew, then I will resolutely let him go to college and go to a training institution, and the child's life will be over.

Another classmate said that his sister studied computer and graduated from college, so she couldn't find a job. Many junior college students in her school went to Beijing for training for four months and found jobs, and the salary was not low, so his sister also wanted to go to a training institution and asked me if I could recommend a good one.

I replied to her: If your family conditions are good, let your children continue to study and take a postgraduate exam. It will be easier to find a job after graduation.

If you let your sister go to a training institution, this university will spend four years in vain, and it may even ruin the children.

As a serious and responsible person, I can only answer them like this. I don't want to see lively and lovely teenagers with ideals, pursuits and feelings destroyed by training institutions, turning them into dull human code generators, which is what we call code migrant workers.

Because I have experienced and seen too much.

I experienced the Internet bubble around 2000 and the economic crisis in 2009. In 2009, software companies in Beijing rarely recruited people, and some even laid off employees, which was a blow to the 2009 college graduates who just entered the society. At that time, when my company interviewed, it was cruel to only pick new people who had a particularly good foundation and mastered the basic theory of computer. IT may be this employment situation that has promoted the development of IT training industry. It was that year that training advertisements of various institutions and videos of various trainings poured in.

My cousin also studies computer. He graduated in 2009. Unfortunately, he caught up with the economic crisis His family is not rich and has no money to continue his postgraduate study. He has never worked, and he is under a lot of pressure. He asked me if I could help him find a job with a low salary. Let's do it first. I keep in touch with my cousin, so I know him better. I didn't learn much in college. After playing Warcraft for four years, I cheated in the exam and finally got my diploma. Many college students spend four years in college, surfing the Internet, playing games, drinking and picking up girls. Learning programming is not very demanding, and I can't find a job after graduation. I complain that society doesn't give college students opportunities, that China's education is backward, and that the knowledge system and practice of universities are derailed. Always complaining about this and that, putting the blame on society. I think it's right that the university doesn't work hard all day and finally can't find a job! Looking for a job is not normal!

My family meant to help my relatives, so I tried to help my cousin "save the day".

I know in my heart that the acquisition of a lot of knowledge requires hard work and hard study, and sometimes I can't solve problems when I meet them, so I need to stay up late and study hard.

This is a lonely process, there is no shortcut, because my university is like this, and so are the masters around me.

What my cousin needs now is a dose of "quick-acting medicine", which can "make up" what he lacked before and find a job quickly.

Later, I saw an advertisement on *sdn and watched their classroom video. I feel that although the level is not very high, it is ok.

Better than some purely deceptive training institutions. I signed up with luck.

I helped my cousin pay 8000 yuan to send him to this training class.

Looking back now, it was really a wrong decision and I regret it. At that time, the training institution was a new thing, and everyone did not understand it. Later, I slowly saw its true face.

This training course is a ***4-month course, actually only 3.5 months, and the teaching content is also very basic.

One month talks about the basics, one month talks about the framework, and the rest of the time talks about the project.

Boasting that their teachers are all masters with an annual salary of one million, they are actually just ordinary programmers who "retire" prematurely, bragging about themselves.

There are many programmers (engineers) who can't get by after the age of 30, and some people can't get by. In order to make ends meet, they go to training institutions as teachers.

The original simple curriculum system was packaged into a gorgeous advertisement full of various professional words. I thought how rich the course would be.

Then I didn't expect this.

As an old IT person like me, a small training institution can fool, let alone a inexperienced student.

Some students have been tricked into counting money for others, and they have to publicize how good this training institution is.

I admire the unfathomable technology of these training institutions. It seems that their main focus is on the development of deception rather than teaching.

Besides, this deception is impeccable, and you didn't even report it to them.

The last half-month course was interview counseling. Later, I learned that this training institution is to teach students how to lie and how to write fake resumes.

How to get rid of some high-sounding rhetoric, how to deceive employers, to put it bluntly, is to teach students to cheat! Teach students how to cheat!

After my cousin told me, I immediately asked him to drop out of school, and I didn't want the rest of the tuition.

Because I know how serious the consequences of cheating my employer are, I will pull back from the brink.

Later, my cousin gave me a screen recording of his classmate's class and told me something about OOOOUDUML and design patterns.

Focus on some impetuous things, and then say something that sounds professional to deceive the employer.

Without more than 3 years of development experience, these development ideas are incomprehensible and can only give beginners a wrong understanding.

In order to improve the employment rate, training institutions do not hesitate to instigate students in this shoddy and irresponsible way.

You know, once your resume is found out by the company, you can be fired unconditionally and immediately, at least in our company. This is the national labor law.

Moreover, the disgraceful experience of counterfeiting will accompany people's life and may have an impact on future work.

In order to alleviate students' guilt, training institutions openly advocate in class: "If it is too big to find out, I will quit",

If you don't do this, others will do the same. Instill students with a wrong outlook on life.

Later, according to what I said, my cousin found a job with a real resume and real experience in an outsourcing company, with 3000 yuan.

His classmates found more than 5000 jobs through fraud and fraud, and according to my cousin, these classmates are not ashamed but proud.

Show off to others how they cheated the employer with fake resumes and experiences. They succeeded and got their own tricks.

Later, on qq, my cousin said that several students were fired from the company because of fraud and worked for less than a week without pay.

Later, my cousin told me about his classmate's training experience in *, and he felt that he understood everything after studying in *, and he didn't cheat, but he didn't find a job.

Even if you don't find a job, you can say how good the training quality is and how high the teachers are.

I am very sad why college students' thinking judgment is so low that they are slaughtered by swindlers like cattle and sheep. Why don't they have the ability to tell the truth from the false?

Why are you willing to risk being fired and leave a bad record, and try your best to improve the employment rate for training institutions?

Why do you count money for others when you are cheated? You still have to help liars promote liars?

Once, I interviewed a junior IOS developer.

(The essence of both IOS and Android is to write UI. Here is a reminder that students with ideals should not do this, although the salary is not low).

His expected salary is relatively high. I suggest that his expectations are a bit high.

Later, this buddy told the truth: I once saw an advertisement for IOS training on the Internet and clicked in.

In order to get the video tutorial, he left his mobile phone number, and then a staff member contacted him.

Under his soft grinding and hard foam, this guy decided to take part in the training.

Later, I learned that the training fee is actually 17 thousand, and my buddy's family is in the countryside, so I can't get it. The customer service said that you can study first and pay later.

Just sign an agreement and he will sign it in a daze. Later, I learned that this is actually equivalent to an IOU.

Moreover, even if you can't find a job, you have to pay back the money. Training institutions have been collecting debts, so he can only borrow from the east and borrow from the west.

Seventeen thousand! Use your parents' hard-earned money to attend the training! This is not a small astronomical figure for a farmer with his back to the loess.

He said that if the salary was too low, he would have to pay his debts every month, and the money left was not enough to pay the rent in Beijing.

Finally, he was not hired, and the expected salary was too high for the company to pay for his training.

There are still such dark training institutions in the world!

Although my cousin's school is also a fraud, compared with this, it can be said that it is a reasonable fraud, a fraud! Deception is measured! Nine Niu Yi hairs!

After so many years, my cousin is almost 30 and still works at the bottom.

Although his professional title is software engineer and his salary is tens of thousands, he is still a code migrant worker in essence and has not changed.

Writing repetitive code every day is still the same as what I learned in the training class. Sitting in front of the computer for more than 10 hours every day, working overtime late every day, relying on overdraft physical strength and life to exchange money.

He once again asked me why a frequently deleted set class variable should use a linked list. Isn't array the same? I told him that this kind of problem depends on the university data structure textbook.

He said that he was very tired in the company recently and couldn't do it anymore. He wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he doesn't want to chew on textbooks too much, and his brain power is not as good as before.

I began to reflect on whether my decision in those years was wrong. If my cousin takes part in the training, although he will not be over 30 years old, he will have a job to make a living for at least 10 years. In fact, how many programmers can cross the threshold of 30? Most people were photographed dead on the beach. After all, people like me are also a minority. I'm not bragging. How many people can read the c++ Primer thoroughly when I am an undergraduate, and how many people can chew up the whole linux kernel source code when I am a graduate student? Training can only teach some flowery fists and embroidered legs, and the real internal strength needs to be cultivated slowly by yourself. I regret it very much. At that time, I could actually give my cousin more money for his graduate study and further study. At that time, I sent him to training to save money, and now I think it hurt him. Brother, I'm sorry as a brother.

Last year, one day at lunch, a young man asked me for directions, and I happened to be on the road with him. I saw him holding a transparent file bag and asked him if he wanted to go for an interview.

He said yes. He asked me if there was a future for software testing. I asked him what he had studied. He said mechanical, and later participated in the testing training.

To be honest, there is no future in doing software testing, but I can find a job and eat enough. Seeing his disappointment, I said that I could be a test manager when I finished.

Many people say that people who make software are eating a youthful meal. Yes, this short-term training students are all short-term ripening.

Without the experience of nature, painful nirvana, and real internal strength, you can't mix for a long time just by playing a little trick.

Someone asked me, what is the difference between a trained student and a self-taught student? Let me ask you, what is the difference between cultivated ginseng and wild ginseng?

If you just graduated now and have no job. If your family is rich, I suggest you go to graduate school, continue to study and master theory and technology.

If the family is not very rich, you can choose to go to training or find another job to earn money first.

When you find a job and earn money, you can choose to continue your studies. After graduation, it is relatively easy to find a job, and you can find a decent job.

If you haven't worked hard in college for four years, it is impossible to save the day in these three or four months of training. You must accept this reality first.

"Participating in our training can help you save the day and turn Gankun around." This is just the propaganda of training institutions, just to get along with your psychology. Training institutions will strongly advocate how useless college education is. Many seemingly tall training institutions are actually failures, specializing in playing technical terms to deceive students, an inexperienced group. What I said is true, and I may be attacked by the training institutions, but I still want to say it. In fact, I learned a lot of important ideas from the university at work. You can see if there are any graduates from Tsinghua Peking University who "cram" in training institutions in groups after graduation. You can see what kind of students those universities are. They don't study hard and their basic theories are not solid. After graduation, I asked my parents for more than 10,000 yuan of hard-earned money to go to the training institution to "cram".

Some people say that in this life, there are three important things to do well: (1) being admitted to a university. (2) looking for a job. (3) get married. As long as these three things are done well, the whole life will be smooth sailing.

I hope that students who want to study in training institutions will keep their eyes open, think twice and choose the right direction at the important fork in life.

Distinguish between what is real internal strength and what is tokenistic gesture; What is a career that can last a lifetime, and what is a youth meal.

Don't be fooled by illusory fantasies and temptations.
