As you can see, all schools are enrolling students now. Although the enrollment scale has expanded slightly, the students' enthusiasm for reading is not enthusiastic. The reasons for this phenomenon are very complicated, including policy and practical reasons, high cost considerations, and employment destination, field and future are the main factors. In recent years, we have got some extreme cases about doctoral students from the media, which have caused some negative impressions of doctoral studies in the whole society, while a few negative cases of doctoral students are the personal results of extremely profound internal and external factors, and also caused the fear of young people who were originally prepared to seek doctoral studies.
The first reason is policy and reality. Again, it was only in 1983 that China trained the first batch of 18 doctors. Today, it has trained about 850,000 doctors, and there are no more than 350 universities and research institutes in China that can recruit and train doctors. China is really not a rich country of doctors. There are more than 2 million doctors in the United States. However, it must be understood that it is not easy to study and cultivate doctors, not to mention that the number of SCI and EI papers before graduation is generally more than three. That is, the living expenses supplement is generally around 3,000, and the graduation age is at least between 28 and 30 years old. There are many doctors in liberal arts and science who have achieved something and can issue SCI. It's almost impossible for you not to take off two skins. PhDs in engineering and medicine are better, because the tutor will take you to play a project and you will work hard because you have a project to do.
The cost of studying for a second doctorate is very high. Take life, love and future family as examples. Because it is a small group, it is relatively smooth to find each other among classmates. And once you step into society, that's haha. Especially female doctors, many people want to get married all their lives. I met a female doctor in a research institute in Shanghai today. She is 5 1 year-old and still unmarried. Although I only said part of the reasons, it can already make people think that the cost of living for a doctor is too high. After graduation, you can find a job, see a major, go to university or research institute. Want to go to a listed company, good luck, more money. If you want a doctor of arts and sciences to find these units, you will be embarrassed!
Third, it seems a bit off topic, but it is actually extremely profound. That is reading a PhD, which is another kind of rebirth, another kind of self-shaping, and even another kind of life. Some people will think that Mr. Wan is alarmist when they see this, but I want to tell you solemnly that if you are preparing for or studying for a doctorate and have no ideological preparation and achievements in the realm, even if you graduate from a doctorate, your diploma is only a little higher, but the realm and pattern of life have not yet sprouted. Especially in today's universities, research institutes and even the whole process of life growth and progress. The most important thing for you is to learn to live in harmony with your tutor in the process of reading a blog, and learn to live in harmony with teachers, classmates and schoolmates in the boring process of seeking a blog. If you haven't learned anything here, what's the use of reading so many books and where are they used? Because you will face a vast society. To study, one must first learn to be a man, which is what any education in China lacks most.
If no one learns how to be a man, how to be a man, how to have a high IQ after IQ study and grow up on social emotional intelligence and self-cultivation, how to take root and flourish in human society with heart and affection? This is the humanity of all education in China. Knowledge must be used in society and people, not aloof, lofty and shameless. Of course, you don't want to be an isolated island Robinson, but he can't help being shipwrecked. Facing the isolated island, he is accompanied by "Saturday", and you are in the crowd and society. Lonely heart is not terrible. Lonely people are only in themselves, afraid of it and have no life. This is also a deep-seated human reason why many successful people who have returned home after their studies cannot take root in China. Because of them, they didn't learn to plant the roots of human nature, get along with others with knowledge and walk with China.
Please keep in mind that whether you can apply what you have learned to the construction and development of human society is not only the size and depth of knowledge, but also the need to learn to get along with society and people. Even if you graduate from god school in the sky and get the title of "Shi Tian" or "Niushi", you must return to the ground and land on the earth, so that you can have the meaning of existence and create the value and success that may be given to mankind.
Answer/Handsome little Sid-I look forward to solving your doubts!
After reading the answers of several other friends, many of them are doctors and researchers. Xiao Xi, who is also a doctor, analyzes the pressure of studying for a doctor from the perspective of "the pressure of female students to study for a doctor". Although Xiaoxi is a boy, there are still many female doctors, especially several doctoral sisters, and there are several female doctors in the project. So Xiaoxi still has some opinions on this issue.
What are the sources of pressure for female students to study for a doctorate?
Xiaoxi's point of view is that girls are under great pressure to study for a doctorate, but they are reluctant to part with it and will be crushed, so they bite their teeth.
Generally speaking, it is not difficult to read a PhD. Unless you are a gifted doctoral student, you can choose a topic, experiment, submit a thesis, submit a dissertation, graduate defense and apply for a job in one go without any ups and downs. Needless to say, Xiaoxi also knows a "all the way" female doctoral student. Every time we boys eat a meal and drink a wine to relieve stress, we all have deep "envy" in chat. Did you have a similar teacher and sister when you were a master or doctor?
When it comes to the pressure of female students to study PhD, we must mention our own orientation and pursuit. In other words, most of the pressure of reading a PhD is self-imposed, not external. Taking Xiaoxi's engineering as an example, the daily life of doctoral students is reading literature (the key to mastering the research frontier), adjusting the experimental scheme, carrying out experiments, analyzing and measuring samples, analyzing experimental data, reporting and discussing in group meetings, writing revised papers, assisting tutors to declare topics and writing graduation papers. After studying for a doctorate, some people "hate" scientific research, while others "like this and don't like that". The key is to see how you adjust your mentality.
"Pressure" and "power" are two sides of the same coin. For example, the pressure of graduation delay will force doctoral students to spend more energy and time to complete the assigned projects and achieve the expected results and gains. A female doctor of Xiaoxi research group, who is married and has a son, is the hardest-working doctor in the team. Every holiday or when I answer questions (22.45), she is still in the laboratory or study room. Her "pressure" or "motivation" is to enter other universities in Changsha as soon as possible after graduation.
Maybe you will say: Is it really good for girls to study PhD? Different circles will meet different people. When we choose to study PhD and are surrounded by doctoral students, we will find that there are so many "like-minded" young sisters or friends. Among this group of female doctors, few people question whether it is worthwhile for them to study for a doctorate, but boys will be more hesitant to study for a postdoctoral degree. Why?
Girls will hesitate before choosing to study for a PhD, and the factors considered are comprehensive, such as graduation, love/marriage, family, age, income/expenditure. For example, four teachers and sisters who graduated from Xiaoxi this year all chose jobs and refused the invitation of their tutors to study PhD. Before they reply, ask them to have a meal together in advance to send them off and talk about the topic of reading a blog. The reason given by the senior sister who has two Sci articles in her master's stage is that she doesn't want to do scientific research and feels tired. Like my master's brother who graduated last year, several high-level papers may have "overdrawn" his interest in academics, and he finally chose to go to an environmental protection company. Therefore, once a girl chooses to study PhD, it is basically a decision after "careful consideration" and "balance among all parties". As the saying goes, "if you have food in your hand, you don't panic." Down-to-earth, beaming. " .
Everyone may have different answers to the question "Is it good for girls to study PhD?". But "If you want to reap, you have to pay" is our common sense. If you want to take the academic road, such as teaching in colleges and universities, or even leaving a name in a certain research field, having a doctorate is the most basic condition. Therefore, Xiaoxi has always felt that it is not a bad thing to read blogs with your heart, and girls with your heart will not be unlucky!
What is the specific pressure on female students to study PhD? First of all, when it comes to female doctors, we have to face a somewhat embarrassing topic-the love, marriage and childbirth of female doctors. Well, Xiaoxi admits that there are also male doctors, which is slightly better. For example, people who are almost 30 years old will be asked, "When will they get married and have children?" If there is no object, it is no small pressure for relatives, friends or parents to "talk". For example, most boys lack enough courage to pursue a female doctor, and feel that the gap in academic qualifications will lead to disharmony in life. However, only after the pursuit, they will find that a female doctor is still a lovely and coquettish girl in essence.
Unless they devote themselves to scientific research, they think it is a waste of time to get married and have children, and the proportion of female doctors without partners is very low. For example, when you enter a university after graduation, your income and social status are not low. In addition to the first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha, it is no problem to pay a three-bedroom down payment for the resettlement fee given by imported talents. Before, a neighbor aunt asked if there was a single female teacher in Xiaoxi School and introduced one to her son. She feels that her job is stable, her income is good, and her education is still high. In the whole society, there are "taunts" and "care and understanding" in the voices of female doctors.
Secondly, the pressure brought by scientific research papers, such as project progress, graduation on schedule, and smooth job search. Different from the master's degree, the doctoral stage must make innovations and breakthroughs in a certain research "point", such as "XX mechanism". In May, it was reported in Tsinghua University that the school cancelled the requirement for doctoral thesis publication, but the key point was that it did not cancel the requirements for colleges, disciplines and tutors. For doctoral students, the requirements of scientific research papers cannot be changed in the short term. Even if I can graduate, I don't have many high-level papers in my hand. How can I tell whether I am excellent or not? After graduation, you can't always be unemployed at a low level, and the pressure is even greater.
Writing and submitting scientific research papers, in addition to strength, have a little luck. For example, Xiaoxi graduated from a doctoral student this year. At the time of submission, an English periodical was in the third district of Chinese Academy of Sciences. This year, after the journal was placed in the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was "lying down" and two papers from the second district were added. In the scientific research output of doctoral students, the factor of team or tutor is more critical, which is what we often say: "Choose a good tutor when studying for a doctorate".
At the same time, if the family conditions are not very good, you may have to face the problem of bringing home the bacon. Don't worry about tuition. Full-time non-directional doctors basically have academic scholarships to offset the renewal fees. Apart from tuition, there is a balance of one or two thousand. In addition, the total amount of state subsidies and tutor allowances for doctoral students in most universities is 2000-2500 yuan/month, which is much higher in some Chinese Academy of Sciences. If you go abroad, there will be a certain subsidy every day. Like studying for a PhD in Xiaoxi, it is not a problem to live on your own, and there is no need to spend extra money at home.
Male doctors may still have to face the house preparation before marriage. Female doctors don't mean they don't have to prepare, but at least the pressure will not be so great. After graduation, the start-up fee for scientific research is still considerable. For example, a doctor's general college can give 400,000-500,000 yuan/person a home allowance, and some colleges even share a house of 120 square meters (you can't buy or sell, you can live for a lifetime without leaving your job). For example, several female colleagues who joined Xiaoxi Company before marriage bought houses in Changsha in advance, joking that "after quarreling with her husband and being driven out of the house, there is at least one place to go".
How to relieve stress by reading blogs? First of all, the best way to relieve stress is to talk. Xiao Xi has a deep understanding of the stage of reading PhD. Several doctors or brothers of the same period visited the school and had a simple shrimp or barbecue to tell each other about the pressure of studying for a doctorate or the problems they encountered. In fact, the most talked about at similar parties is the "Tucao Tutor". For example, the tutor refused to carry out an experiment and felt that the experimental scheme was not mature enough. The tutor had to forcibly open fingerprints sooner or later, which was more tiring than the work of the Internet company. The tutor delayed the meeting and did not arrange lunch at 2 pm. Everyone at the dinner table can say a few words that his tutor makes people laugh and cry, which leads to laughter. After a similar dinner, I woke up the next day and it was another sunny day. Let's move on!
Secondly, during the doctoral study, if a female doctor has a partner or is married, remember to communicate with her family and lover. Female doctors with children are more relaxed. Take a day off to play with your children, and you will find that life is so beautiful. You must be a strong mother for your children. And accompanying children is easy to relieve their stress and emotions. Xiaoxi encounters unpleasant things at work, and when she comes home, she won't be annoyed immediately when she hears "Dad".
At the same time, I have also talked about some pressures before, and often some pressures are generated after encountering problems in the project. This requires more communication with the tutor, such as the design of the experimental scheme, the revision of the first draft of the paper, and the reply of the peer review opinions. Perhaps the tutor really doesn't know as much as his doctoral students in a small field, but he is second to none in direction control and overall structure. After all, the lack of communication between tutors and their incomprehension or denial will increase the pressure on doctoral students. Even if they are not "teachers for a day, fathers for life", most tutors will not deliberately "make things difficult" for their doctoral students. Open their hearts and talk to their tutors about their thoughts and problems, which really gets twice the result with half the effort
Xiaoxi's conclusion is to care about girls' actions and their growth. There should be more tolerance for female doctors, especially the previous bad habits or the "prohibition of childbearing" of some tutors (China Youth Daily once focused on "the problem of female doctors having children during their doctoral studies"). )。 In Xiaoxi's view, female doctors are also the elite of our country, the precious wealth of the whole society, and they are also making their own contributions to promoting scientific research progress and social development.
Finally, I quoted a sentence given to my doctoral sister by my tutor: "I don't think you are worth studying for a doctorate, and you won't find anyone in the future. In fact, the trajectory of your life has been staggered at the moment you study for a doctorate." In the future, they will no longer look down on you, but you will look down on them. " Come on!
Xiaoxi's answer must have some shortcomings. Welcome friends to criticize and correct me. Thank you!
Hello everyone! Here is the survey of education, click on the attention and share with you the educational sentiment! Young doctors in colleges and universities are a special group with certain knowledge accumulation and academic pursuit, which plays an important role in scientific exploration, knowledge inheritance and innovation promotion. However, we should also see that they are under pressure from family, society and themselves in the process of learning. While advocating giving them more care, what is crushing them?
First, the pressure of scientific research is different from that of master. Doctoral study is a systematic and standardized academic training. The requirements for doctoral training are higher than those for master's degree. It is required to form in-depth research in a certain field and direction after graduation and become an expert to a certain extent. This requires them to keep thinking, consult the literature, stand at the forefront, and persist in innovation, which puts them under great pressure both mentally and physically.
Second, the financial pressure of doctoral students, although the country is gradually improving the treatment of doctoral students, but first of all, from 20 14, doctoral students began to charge tuition fees. The salary of doctoral students generally includes subsidies from the state, schools and tutors. 20 15000 yuan The annual national grant standard for central colleges and universities has been raised to 15000 yuan. Due to the different standards of schools in different places,
Third, employment pressure With the development of national education, doctoral training has developed rapidly. The number of doctorates awarded in China is second only to that in the United States. It can be said that it is a big country in doctoral education, but it is followed by an optimistic employment situation. With the increase of the number of graduates, the "most difficult employment season" is mentioned by the media every year, and the recruitment conditions of employment units are also rising. Whether the undergraduate course is 985/2 1 1 university, whether the thesis is published in the top journals included in SCI, and whether there is experience in studying abroad all restrict the employment of doctoral students. Sometimes female doctoral students are troubled by unmarried problems, and discrimination still exists when looking for a job. Faced with such a severe employment situation, anxiety makes the mental pressure of doctoral students increase continuously.
Fourth, the pressure of marriage and love has to be said that the age of doctoral graduation is actually close to 30, and the seven aunts and eight aunts at home are very anxious every holiday. However, in the face of the pressure of scientific research and employment, coupled with the weak economic foundation, the pressure of marriage and love is naturally not small. . . . . .
Do you have a doctor who is studying around you? Are they okay?
Personally, I feel that the pressure of reading PhD is still great.
At the beginning, I was full of admiration and envy for doctoral students, and felt that they had stood at the peak of life, wealth, status and career. Not at all. However, when I really became a doctoral student, I found that my original thinking was too simple.
First, age pressure. Generally, it takes about 25 years for doctoral students to enter school. The current doctoral system is mostly four years, but how many doctoral students can graduate smoothly after four years? So most doctoral graduates are around 30. 30 years old, what an embarrassing age. 30-year-old ordinary people get married and have children, get married and start a career, and have made small achievements in their careers. The doctor just graduated at the age of 30 and is pitifully poor. Every time he goes home for the New Year, he is the object of discussion by seven aunts and eight aunts. I think I am just a doctor.
Second, economic pressure. Now doctors need to pay tuition, which is generally 10000 yuan tuition+1200 yuan accommodation. Although you will return to the individual in the form of a scholarship in the future, it is hard enough for rural families that your parents have worked hard for you to go to school for so many years. It is also a big expense for poor families. After paying the tuition, the daily telephone bill will definitely not be included in the family. The living allowance for doctoral students includes (national allowance 1300 yuan+school and tutor allowance), which is generally around 2,500 yuan. This money can be used by thrifty students, but for students with boyfriends and girlfriends, the daily expenses are definitely not enough and they can only go out to work part-time. This will only increase the pressure of scientific research.
Third, work pressure. I graduated with a doctorate, about 30. The enterprise is very tired after graduation. Not only do you have to relearn your work skills and interpersonal relationships, but your immediate boss may find it difficult to accept his instructions, even though he is younger than you.
In a word, all kinds of pressures of studying for a doctorate will accompany you day and night, but there is pressure and motivation, and your achievements in scientific research will also make you secretly proud, and you will achieve something yourself. I hope you can gain something from your doctoral studies and land successfully.
During my Ph.D., I only slept 10 hours in order to catch up with the paper deadline for three days, but this is not the case. I even had fun all night. At least you have a clear goal to put into practice and see the output immediately. The most desperate thing is that there is no "standard answer" and no guidance. It takes a long time for a person to crawl forward before determining a clear scientific research direction.
I don't even know if there is a dead end ahead. It is difficult for ordinary people to take this first step.
Listen to me.
This frequency is 2-3 times a week.
Who knows that "nightmare" has just begun.
A high salary (30-40w RMB) is the same as enjoying 30 days paid annual leave and all other jobs.
By the way, I clicked the first point or skill point.
The scheme proposed by Italy (or) doesn't work for (AI).
But my personality tells me: Go on and solve some real-world problems.
Don't say I haven't even seen the shadow of my first paper after graduation.
Also added an OR skill point (looking for a work artifact).
Hey, why didn't anyone tell me this before?
In the last 2.5 years, nothing was invested in the doctoral thesis.
Become a German doctor.
Maybe now I can sit down with me five years ago and have a good talk.

The pressure of reading a PhD is really great. I am a doctor of literature. Take our place as an example. I think there are two main pressures for studying for a doctorate. .
First, the pressure of scientific research. This is actually bullshit. Of course, doctoral students should do scientific research. I don't understand science and engineering. The pressure of liberal arts is mainly to read literature and send papers. Of course, the most stressful thing is graduation thesis. A doctoral thesis has at least 80,000 words. Although the number of words is not too much, the quality requirements are very high. At present, the Ministry of Education is cracking down on parallel imports among doctoral students, and its important indicator is doctoral thesis. If you don't write well, you will not only suffer, but also drag your tutor into the water sooner or later.
When I first came to the National People's Congress, I heard from my senior brother that half of the doctoral students in the Institute of Qing History of the National People's Congress were postponed in the year I entered school. This is really a "horrible" thing. Not only is there no scholarship now, but the school will not solve the accommodation problem. Everyone knows the rent in Beijing.
Second, economic pressure. Doctors of science and engineering do experiments every day, which is very hard, but the income is relatively high, 35 thousand a month. Although there is economic pressure, it is much better than liberal arts students. Many times, liberal arts are subsidized by the state. Of course, the good thing is that most doctoral scholarships in colleges and universities are fully covered, so there is no need to worry about tuition fees. To tell the truth, a month 1000 yuan is enough for a college student, but at our age, most middle school students and college students are married, and their monthly income is several times that of us, so they have to accompany them when they get married. There are people around me who make four or five thousand dollars a year with their followers. Of course, if you work hard enough and are good enough, you will get more scholarships. We studied all the doctoral students in Qing history and earned hundreds of thousands of scholarships by thesis. This is a great god.
Some colleagues said that the pressure of marriage and love, I think this is not much. Only the feelings of marriage, not the age of marriage.
The campus is very good. I believe that most people who go to work will miss their school days. Doctoral students are the last stage of their student life (of course not necessary). Even if it is completed, it will officially enter the society. I'm afraid the pressure of studying for a doctorate in the future is not as great as that of getting married, especially for men. what do you think?
At present, after graduating from undergraduate and postgraduate courses, many college students choose to continue their studies, that is, pursue doctoral degrees, because of the need of employment and promotion. Of course, it is difficult to study PhD, but it also varies from school to school. Famous schools, especially key ones, must be very difficult to study for a doctorate. It's not the mentor that most people think is in charge. About 20% to 30% of the people I know can't graduate, so they can only drop out of school. Not to mention famous universities, even many people in our school have been eliminated, either giving up on their own or the school announced the elimination. Not long ago, the media reported on this. More than 0/00 doctoral students in the whole school/KLOC were eliminated. A female teacher in our college studied for 10 and never graduated, and was finally eliminated by the school.
The first difficulty in studying for a doctorate is the difficulty in the examination, and it is a difficulty to pass the entrance examination. The second difficulty is the passage of the paper, because the submitted paper is not only passed by the tutor, but also by the whole tutor group. Because each tutor has different opinions and requirements, it is difficult for the paper to be passed by each tutor.
It is precisely because of these difficulties that it is difficult for many doctoral students to complete their studies within the prescribed time. Many of them studied for 6 7 years, and some even failed to finish their studies for 65,438+00 years, which eventually became a persistent problem and was eliminated by the school. Therefore, people who are interested in studying for a doctorate should be fully prepared mentally and materially, because studying for a doctorate also requires tuition fees. Of course, doctoral students are subsidized to pay tuition fees, but if you can't complete the academic subsidy, there is a time limit, and you can't delay it year after year. So you must have a sense of urgency when you study for a doctorate.
The pressure to get a doctorate is really great. Doctor is the highest level in the field of knowledge, and very few people can read PhD. Therefore, when you decide to study for a PhD and sprint to the highest level of knowledge, you will turn pressure into motivation and reach the highest level of knowledge, and you will feel that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. ..
The pressure of reading a PhD is really great. Whether I can graduate or not has been bothering me since I entered school. I didn't have a good sleep for four years before my doctor graduated. When to send a paper and when to start a topic has always been a stone in my heart. Due to the strict requirements of the tutor, we have to publish our papers in authoritative journals before we can graduate. Therefore, it was in my third year of Ph.D. that I published my thesis and began to choose the topic. However, the four years of doctor's degree is also the fastest four years of my progress. Thanks to this experience, I have honed my perseverance and exercised my intelligence. Without the experience of reading a PhD, there would be no me today. Friends, come on!
How stressful is it?
It's 00:59, insomnia. All kinds of things, all kinds of studies and all kinds of feelings make me feel at a loss. I always sigh unconsciously during the day. I have finished my PhD, and there are no more articles. I feel that I have worked hard, but I still can't. Today, a little teacher came to the study room and asked, which one of you posted the article? After asking three or four times, I really want to … forget it, hitting people is illegal! Recently, I have become less confident and feel useless. I am confident when I think of a master's degree! How much pressure do you think it is to study for a doctorate? Do you feel it?
