Although many people verbally clamor that "academic qualifications are useless" and "reading is useless", in the general concept of the public, there is more "academic qualifications only". Although education is not equal to ability, to a great extent, education and ability are still related. However, in social practice, there is an extreme trend of thought that only emphasizes academic qualifications.
"Only academic qualifications" can be said to cover all aspects of our lives. When recruiting, many employers only pay attention to the qualifications of candidates, and want doctors instead of masters, and masters instead of undergraduate courses. As for the specialty, I'm sorry, I don't even consider it. Even when single men and women are in contact, we should first look at their academic qualifications and school graduation. Is it a general school or a key school? Is it 985 or 2 1 1? Tsinghua Peking University or studying abroad? If it is not an academic level, then there is no need to continue to contact.
It is precisely because of the "academic qualification theory" in society that it directly affects the educational concept of parents and schools. Parents and students pursue the "elite school-only theory" of prestigious schools, while schools pursue the "score-only theory" of high scores, which is why it comes. Some people say that today's China is a "one test for life", which is not wrong at all. Therefore, I would like to advise those children who are still in middle school that academic performance is not just those numbers, but will really determine your life.
Although we are opposed to the theory of academic qualifications, we have to admit that the probability of excellent students and highly educated people is indeed much higher, and the possibility of growing into excellent talents in the future is even greater, but this is only a probability, even if the difference between this probability is 99% and 1%, it cannot represent everyone. After all, each individual exists independently. There are people with high education and low ability, but there are also successful people with low education. Although the probability is low, it is also true.
Although it is unreasonable to say "only academic qualifications", it is impossible to change it. Suppose you are the human resource of a big company, and you need to recruit an employee. Twenty people submitted resumes, five masters and fifteen undergraduates. Assuming that they are all fresh graduates and have no work experience, do you interview all 20 people directly or 5 master students? With the undergraduate enrollment expansion, graduate enrollment expansion. At present, the job market is oversupplied, and recruiters are dominant. A good position often attracts a large number of applicants. Many times, it is a last resort for employers to restrict academic qualifications.
In this reality, many people, especially those who have been discriminated against in academic qualifications, begin to hope to change this situation, but they often overkill it. They often indulge in the special cases of the success of some people with low academic qualifications, and thus come to the wrong view that "academic qualifications are useless" and "reading is useless".
According to the "20 17 Heroes List of Social Universities" recently released by Hurun Research Institute, half of the more than 2,000 entrepreneurs on the Hurun Rich List with assets of 2 billion or more do not have full-time undergraduate or graduate degrees. Hurun said: "According to social standards, these people may be the least likely to succeed, but according to the wealth report, they have succeeded and created very great enterprises."
Unsurprisingly, this is interpreted by some people as "the futility of reading". However, they didn't see that most of these entrepreneurs who don't have a bachelor's degree are concentrated in manufacturing and real estate, which has a lot to do with the social transformation of China's reform and opening up in recent decades. However, with the development of the times, the improvement of the overall education level of society and the increasingly standardized market economy, this opportunity and space for creating wealth has long since ceased to exist.
These entrepreneurs also have one thing in common, that is, many of them have taken EMBA or short-term courses to make up for their previous studies, and they know more about the importance of reading and learning. They also pay more attention to children's education. However, we only see one richest man saying that "nothing is bolder than Tsinghua Peking University". I didn't know that his son had been sent abroad since he was a child. He went to primary school in a Swiss cottage in Singapore, to middle school in Winchester College in England, and then to university in University College London in England.
Although it is not advisable to say "only academic qualifications". However, it would be even more tragic if we stare at "half of the rich have low academic qualifications" and come to the wrong conclusion that "reading is useless".
