Although master students and ordinary doctoral students are also under great pressure, it seems more common for them to fall into scientific research difficulties. These direct students (including the author himself) were blind when they chose direct students. After entering the scientific research stage, they found that there was a huge gap between the actual scientific research and the ideal situation, and they were deadlocked psychologically and in their scientific research work. The solution to the problem begins with re-understanding yourself and scientific research, discovering your real interests and purposes, adjusting yourself and seeking changes.
0 1, blindly choose direct blog
Every year, the proportion of students who choose direct blog is quite large, some love scientific research, some mistakenly think that they love scientific research, and some are because? Five years fast track? And then what? High salary? Number of direct doctoral students, master students and master students in materials, chemistry, environment and biology related disciplines accepted by Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Fudan University and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Direct students account for 23% to 42% of the total number of people exempted from the test.
However, a considerable number of direct students of this scale have not been well thought out when making choices. What are the common stereotypes? Learn excellent guarantee research, especially straight men? These excellent students then devoted themselves to the process of insurance research and chose direct blog. Don't they realize it? Good grades in undergraduate studies? With what? Suitable for scientific research? Actually, they are two different things.
The lack of practical knowledge of scientific research and the confusion of career planning make them stop thinking deeply about themselves and the future after hearing the benefits of direct blog. What are the options for changing majors, working and going abroad? There is no choice? .
Some people are forced, and the judge's favorite question during the interview is whether they are willing to direct their own blog. A friend of the author went to Nanjing University for an interview that year. There was only one master's degree left in the college, but there were still many direct blog places. His intention tutor said that there is only one direct blog, if you don't want to direct blog, you have to find another way out. It is not easy to get the exemption qualification. At that time, most colleges and universities were almost finished, and there was nowhere to go without choosing direct blog. So-called? Is it uncomfortable not to eat the meat in your mouth? . So now he is one of many people in trouble.
02, the gap between ideal and reality
Direct students formally entered the scientific research career and found that scientific research was not what they had imagined before.
First of all, there is no nonlinear relationship between scientific research achievements and efforts. From primary school, middle school to university, we are all used to exams. The results of this kind of examination are almost linearly related to personal efforts. As long as you are serious in class and willing to work hard after class, you can get better grades. However, scientific research is complex, and whether you can achieve good results has a great relationship with the conditions of the research group, the guidance of the tutor, the specific direction of the project and your own efforts.
What's more, some research directions may be unattainable. It is difficult to know in advance whether it is feasible or it will take several years to do something that has never been done, which is also one of the inherent properties of scientific research. But for straight students who have always had excellent grades, this long uncertainty brings anxiety.
Secondly, perfectionism is at work. The professionalization of scientists makes the field of scientific research not much different from all walks of life. A small number of researchers have pushed students too hard and delayed graduation for the sake of maximizing their own interests. Water article? Even the papers are faked, and meaningless work is described as important basic research. Although this situation is rare in scientific research institutions, it is unacceptable to many direct students, especially in it, there will be a sense of disillusionment and depression.
Still that sentence? Think you love researchers? Awaken. At first, many straight students regarded undergraduate study as scientific research. When they enter the laboratory to read the literature, day after day, they find that they don't like scientific research or their current subject. But at this time, whether it is to change majors, master's degrees or drop out of school, the cost is very high, so it is in a dilemma.
