I majored in economics, and my graduate students were admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination school. I used to be an impulsive person, and now I seem to be. I often make decisions when I am hot-headed and don't study and think too much.
At first, I planned to apply for a master's degree in finance from Xiamen University. At that time, I watched a movie "Spice Girls at the Bottom", and one scene impressed me deeply. I can't set myself too low a goal, or I will fall down again and again.
I have found someone to buy all the professional books of Xiamen University, and I have no confidence when I look at them. I'm dragging my feet, and there's no one to supervise me, so it's hard for me to keep up.
I have no choice but to lower my goal and apply for the finance of our school instead. Later, when I saw that the proportion of financial admission was ridiculously high, I changed my mind and took the postgraduate exam in our college, thinking that my own people would take care of it.
This is really in response to an article I posted earlier. People often overestimate themselves. My practice is completely contrary to my idea, and it is too difficult to stick to myself.
But fortunately, God bless me, I was successfully admitted to the graduate school, and the process was full of twists and turns. If you are interested, I will share it with you later.
Graduate students, as the name implies, are supposed to do research. What else should they do as graduate students? The enrollment brochures and training objectives of various schools are also written in this way, but the reality is often quite different from expectations.
Postgraduates are more demanding than undergraduates, mainly in thesis, but more relaxed in other aspects.
An undergraduate thesis as small as 10 thousand words is enough. I don't need empirical research for my economics major.
According to the experience of undergraduate thesis, I used the universal three-stage formula to analyze the present situation, put forward the problems, solutions and describe them in full. Nothing to do, but fortunately, the requirements are not high, and everyone can graduate smoothly.
The graduate thesis should start at 30 thousand, and the economic management major must require empirical analysis. This beats me. I didn't do any research and training when I was a graduate student.
This brings the importance of choosing a tutor. Some tutors are very strict. One of my classmates wrote a paper to attend the meeting as soon as he studied under the guidance of his tutor, but the tutor didn't ask me and was in a state of stocking up.
Therefore, it is very painful to write a thesis in junior year, which is equivalent to Xiaobai. When my classmates wrote almost the same papers, I was still watching the most basic software operation, and there was a big gap.
But fortunately, I graduated smoothly. I have to say that the school is very tolerant of us. Some schools are not allowed to graduate until graduate students have finished their papers. My school is not. Blind trial experts are also very friendly and put forward many opinions. I was scared to death when I was chosen for the blind test. I thought I couldn't graduate.
Do graduate students have to do research all day? From my experience, this is not necessarily the case. If you only use graduate education as a springboard to find a job, graduate students can "mix" it, provided that you know what you want in graduate school.
What you gain, you lose. Grasping everything you want will only waste time and have nothing.
Having said that, graduate school is not necessarily useless. Through this process, we have cultivated our research ability more or less, but how far we can go depends on whether we can persist in the future.
I had dinner with my tutor for the last time before leaving school, and my tutor comforted me that the thesis reflected not my writing ability, but my thinking ability. After this exercise, I gained something.
At this point, the research life has come to an end, and I have graduated before I can go back. As the song goes, in a hurry, in a hurry, why is life always like this?
College life is too free. Postgraduates are more free than undergraduates.
When we entered the school, everyone started from the same place. In just one year, everyone's trajectory went their separate ways.
Looking back on the past three years, it's a pity that I didn't devote myself to my study and internship. But this is not without gains. I passed some exams of FRM and CFA, which laid a little foundation for my future.
Want to know where the road is? Graduate students are just a small segment in life. Forget the past glory and failure experience and go into battle easily. The meaning of life lies not in success, but in going all out.
