If your goal is to find a job, it is really "three generations of poor scientific research, and studying for a doctorate will ruin your life." The higher the education, the less practical it is. After finishing your doctorate, you will learn a lot of useless knowledge, which is useless to your work. You should waste your youth on studying for a doctorate. You lack work experience and skills. If you can't find a teaching position, it means unemployment. Doing scientific research costs research funds unless you do it. Might as well be a plasterer. Many scientists in history ended up as poor and "accomplished scholars". Scholars are despised by the world, and their profound knowledge is useless to practical work.

The traditional idea of China people is that "study is for work", which hurts many people. Many children don't like studying, but they are forced to study by their parents. They suffered a lot and lost the opportunity to learn skills. Finally, when looking for a job, it is worse than a technical school graduate. There are also children who love learning and naively think that they can find a good job by studying hard, but one day when they grow up, they find that what they have learned is useless to their work, and they lose their motivation to learn and the opportunity to become a pillar of the country. Studying PhD and scientific research means sacrificing yourself, making less money and making contributions to society.
