The higher the education, the harder it is to find a job! This news can let you know the behavior of 27 master students vying to be sanitation workers. In fact, it is not a new topic that the employment rate of graduate students is lower than that of undergraduates. According to the statistics of the National Information Consulting and Employment Guidance Center for College Students, since the number of graduate students exceeded one million, the employment rate of graduate students has been declining, and it began to lose to undergraduates in 2009. This abnormal phenomenon shows that there are many problems in China's high-level talents and social development.
The low employment rate of graduate students is the main reason why the employment rate of graduate students is lower than that of undergraduates. With the expansion of graduate enrollment, the number of graduates is far greater than the number of posts each year, resulting in only a part of graduate students being able to find suitable research posts. If graduate students lower their status and go to work as undergraduates or junior college students, employers are also very happy. Just like graduate students sweeping the floor, why not hire graduate students with their undergraduate salaries? However, many graduate students would rather die than surrender. They worked hard for the postgraduate entrance examination and spent another three years studying. Isn't this a waste? They would rather not work than take a humble job, which leads to the loss of employment rate of graduates to undergraduates.
Another important problem in graduate employment is the difficulty of female graduate students' employment. Many research positions require overtime, business trips and even exposure to organic reagents and toxic drugs. Considering that female graduate students are about 26 years old and want to have children, employers like male graduate students. Although it has been strictly stipulated that employers should not discriminate on the basis of sex, in practice, female graduate students are often discriminated against on the basis of sex. In every interview, employers ask some personal questions, such as how long they plan to have children. Under the severe employment situation, it is more difficult for female graduate students to find jobs. As a result, the tragedy of female graduate students changing their academic qualifications and "pretending to be" undergraduates looking for jobs appeared.
In the cultivation of graduate students, university professors pay more attention to theoretical research and less attention to industrial practice research topics, which leads to a great discount on the practical value of the cultivated graduate students. Enterprises recruit graduate students, hoping that graduate students can bear the burden of research projects, rather than recruiting graduate students for further training, which makes enterprises more willing to recruit undergraduates rather than graduate students. Moreover, the R&D ability of domestic enterprises is weak, and the R&D capital investment is less, which makes the demand for R&D personnel less, which is also an important reason why graduates are difficult to find jobs.
To solve the employment problem of graduate students, we should not only change the mode of economic development, promote the transformation of enterprises, increase investment in research and development, but also change the training mode of graduate students, and at the same time combine theoretical research with practice. To change the concept of graduates' employment, we must first find a job and choose a job. If we have the ability, we can shine everywhere, even sweeping the floor and toilets!
