In recent years, with the intensification of studying abroad, world famous schools such as Oxford and Harvard are no longer just an unreachable term. But no matter how famous a prestigious school is, it will eventually graduate. "Going to a prestigious school" is not the ultimate goal. Learning is only an important stage in life. How to make your famous school experience benefit you for life should actually be one of the problems that students should consider before studying abroad.

"Foreign companies have worked too hard and hope to get it in place once."

★ Graduate school: Oxford University★ Master's degree

Meng Xinyi (pseudonym), like other well-known domestic undergraduate graduates, chose the gilded road of studying abroad after graduating from the Statistics Department of Renmin University of China. She said, "After graduation, undergraduates like Peking University, Tsinghua and the National People's Congress all have a' hidden rule' when choosing their way out, that is, high flyers, the first echelon, basically chooses to go abroad, and there is no hope of going abroad to choose graduate school. Finding a job after graduation is the least valuable! " Following this "hidden rule", Meng Xinyi, as a graduate of a prestigious school in Gaofei, also applied for a prestigious school in Britain and America. Because the application in the United States was late, when she received the admission notice of statistics major from Oxford University, she did not hesitate to go. She said, "There is another reason why I chose to go to the UK for postgraduate study, that is, the school hours are short and it only takes one year, and my academic qualifications are also recognized by the United States. If I want to continue my studies, I can jump to the United States to study PhD after graduation. "

Studying abroad did not make Meng Xinyi too uncomfortable. She said, "Because graduate students choose my old job-statistics, the equations involved in the course are very close to those in China, and the language requirements of British science and engineering majors are not as high as those of liberal arts majors, so there is not much problem in language communication." The biggest difference that made her feel was when she took the graduation exam. "According to the tradition of Oxford, all students who take the graduation exam have to wear uniform doctoral exam clothes, which is the biggest difference from studying in China!" Meng Xinyi recalled.

After graduating from the master's degree, Meng Xinyi directly chose to return to China for employment without any delay. "Since you have chosen the most time-saving method, let it play its greatest role!" She explained. For the choice of work, Meng Xinyi has a clear goal and directly targets large state-owned enterprises. "I just like its high welfare. Foreign companies work too hard. For example, as a professional investment bank, I have to work almost 10 hours a day! This place is too much for me! If it is a boy, you can still work hard, and girls are completely unnecessary! "

Regarding whether it will waste time to work in state-owned enterprises with the title of an international prestigious school, Meng Xinyi believes that "studying abroad is just a life experience. I only hope to get it in place once, so that I can save the on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination after work. That's too difficult! I don't want to find a job that can earn a lot of money by virtue of my study abroad experience. And at present, my unit also has many master's and doctor's degrees from famous universities in various countries. I am very comfortable here and have no sense of superiority. "

HR comment: conformity psychology is a bit hasty.

Meng Xinyi is more of a herd mentality when deciding to study abroad and choosing a country to study abroad, which may be a bit hasty. Studying in Britain has an absolute advantage in time, so many students, like Meng Xinyi, chose Britain. However, everything is two sides of the same coin. This strongly compressed academic system makes it difficult for foreign students to integrate into the local culture, and it is also easy to be imperfect in the digestion and absorption of learning. When selecting candidates with overseas study background, enterprises pay attention not only to professional knowledge, but also to added value, such as multicultural background, foreign language ability, rapid adaptation ability and independent thinking ability.

"Life is incomplete without going abroad, but you need to return to China in advance."

★ Graduate school: University of Sydney ★ Degree: Master's degree

Liu Wanting, who graduated from the Department of Media in 2004, was at a loss about her future after graduation. "I didn't have many ideas at that time, and I didn't prepare for studying abroad in advance, so I wanted to find a job first." . Because her boyfriend works in Shanghai, Wan Ting put all her resumes in Shanghai. "I didn't pay much attention to my first job because I was going abroad. The first person who hired me was an advertising company in Shanghai. I went to work without waiting for the reply from other companies. "

For studying abroad, Liu Wanting thought, "Life is incomplete without going abroad! When I was an undergraduate, I was preparing to study abroad and chose a major that cooperated with foreign universities, so studying abroad is inevitable for me. " On the issue of choosing a school, Wan Ting is not pro-Anglo-American, and her idea is pragmatic. "Another purpose of studying abroad is to immigrate. Immigration from Britain and America is very difficult. American tuition is high and the time is long. Although the time in the UK is very short, it takes at least seven years to reply to the immigration application, so I choose to study in Australia. " After working in Shanghai for one year, Liu Wanting got a master's admission notice from Sydney University, a famous Australian university, majoring in media.

Because of the four-year undergraduate education mode of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools, Wan Ting is familiar with the teaching mode, all-English homework and examination form of foreign teachers, so the learning environment and education methods abroad have not brought her discomfort. Wan Ting said that many of her tutors in graduate school were editors and directors of major television stations in Australia, so when studying with these front-line professionals, she also regarded herself as an "insider". "When China students studying in Australia get together, what we often do is to judge some domestic TV programs and imagine what kind of programs we should design for ourselves. After returning to China, you can learn from foreign advanced operating models and make great efforts in major domestic TV stations. " ;
