The higher the education, the harder it is to find a job. What caused it?
What is academic inversion? This phenomenon means that in recent years, with the expansion of college enrollment and the popularity of graduate enrollment, the employment situation of college students has been "upside down"-the higher the education, the lower the employment rate.

Behind the "educational background upside down" is the waste of talents.

Behind the "waste of talents" is social reflection.

Judging from the phenomenon of "academic qualifications upside down", at least two aspects deserve our attention:

1. Have I learned in vain in the past three years-beware of the "new round of reading uselessness"

"The number of master's and master's graduates in Beijing exceeds that of undergraduates" recently appeared on the hot search list in Weibo.

Yan Zhihua, a researcher and deputy secretary-general of Jiangsu Zijin Media Think Tank, told the reporter, "Overall, it is not a good thing that the number of graduate students exceeds that of undergraduates." The phenomenon of "academic qualifications upside down" is becoming more and more common, and even some local college students organize tours to many provinces in China. The popularity of "establishment" in the past two years is behind the influence of avoiding risks. People's employment concepts and ideology tend to be conservative and expect to return to the wings of the system. This conservative concept is a retrogression to some extent. "

Yan Zhihua attributed this phenomenon to "the waste of talents". "For most jobs, undergraduate education is enough." Students who do not engage in scientific research with the idea of "avoiding employment" take up resources for further study, and "will bring a new round of useless reading."

Yan Fang (a pseudonym), a graduate student in the Chinese Department of a university, graduated and sent resumes everywhere to find a job. Recently, I received a probation notice from a middle school Chinese teacher. On the same day, she found that there were more than 20 applicants, one third of whom were graduate students and the rest were undergraduates. As a result, she finally learned that two undergraduates had finally received the employment notice.

"Why is this? I am a graduate student, and my grades have been very good. I think the class atmosphere is not bad. How can you lose to undergraduates? " Yan Fang doesn't understand.

"Have I learned for nothing in these three years?" She asked doubtfully.

What's the use of studying for three years as a graduate student if you really study for nothing? What's the use of reading more?

2. Grassroots have too much face-effectively docking "expectations" and "actual social needs"

In fact, many graduate students and doctors have the mentality of "too high is not too low" when looking for a job.

Most graduate students prefer to stay in central cities and big cities rather than go to the grassroots in need, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of graduate employment.

Experts believe that "it is difficult to effectively connect expectations with the actual needs of society, which is an important reason for the decline in its employment rate." This is normal from another perspective. Graduate students and doctors always hope to find positions with higher salary, better treatment and easier work because they pay more. However, many of them did not show obvious advantages over undergraduates. This undoubtedly brings the "high or low" of graduates' employment.

No matter from time or material, the investment of graduate students is much larger than that of undergraduate students. Everyone wants to find a job with better pay and higher status than undergraduates when they graduate. "This is the employment mentality at work."

However, expectations are too high, demand growth slows down, and enterprises no longer focus on academic qualifications. All these factors have caused the phenomenon of "academic qualifications upside down".

-This is the gap between dream and reality.

In either case, this strange situation is rampant. At the same time, it also caused a huge waste of educational resources and advanced talent resources.

In reality, grass-roots employment may be a key to alleviate the problem of "upside down". "

On the one hand, colleges and universities need to strengthen employment education for graduate students and help them change their employment concepts; On the other hand, the government needs to take more measures, increase financial input, and further enhance the attractiveness of grassroots to highly educated graduates.

I hope that the government, society, enterprises, institutions, etc. Will pay attention to this issue, so as not to make high flyers feel chilling, and so as not to keep the places where talents are needed vacant.
