1. Decline in employment competitiveness: In the job market, students with a bachelor's degree are usually more competitive than those with only a high school degree or a junior college degree. However, if students postpone graduation for one year, they may miss some employment opportunities, because employers may be more willing to hire students who have already obtained degrees. In addition, some companies may be suspicious of students who postpone graduation, thinking that they lack self-discipline and sense of responsibility.
2. Postgraduate application is affected: for those students who want to continue their studies, delaying graduation may have a negative impact on their postgraduate application. Many graduate programs require applicants to have a bachelor's degree, and applicants are usually expected to complete their degrees within a specified time. If students postpone graduation for one year, they may have to wait longer to start their postgraduate studies.
3. Increased economic pressure: Delaying graduation means that students need to continue to pay tuition and living expenses. This may bring extra financial pressure to students and their families. In addition, because students cannot find jobs immediately, they may need to rely on financial support from their families or other sources.
4. Increased psychological pressure: Delaying graduation may bring psychological pressure to students. They may feel anxious, depressed and disappointed because they didn't finish their studies as expected. This kind of stress may affect their mental health and quality of life.
5. Social impact: Delaying graduation may affect students' social life. They may miss important moments spent with their peers, such as graduation ceremonies, parties and trips. In addition, they may find that there is a generation gap between themselves and their friends and family who have finished their studies.
