Chatting with him, I found that he has a very clear understanding of his university planning. Many students around him study hard at the university, but he thinks that his school and major are not good. Unlike students in famous universities, as long as they study well, they must improve their strength through other means, as long as they maintain the upper-middle level.
He chose to take part in the competition because he felt that he could at least get the following promotion:
1. Enrich your resume. Resume is a very important part whether you are looking for a job after graduation or studying abroad. Society is very realistic. The standard for enterprises to evaluate talents is school. Major > internship experience > project background > competition experience > For club activities, foreign schools will also examine resumes in addition to grades.
2. Improve your personal ability, no matter what modeling contest, electronic design, or college students' innovation project contest, you can improve your thinking, hands-on and expression ability by participating in the competition. It is a good way to "make friends, exercise workplace skills, improve professional ability, and even take the opportunity to pick up girls".
3. There are more choices in the future. From the perspective of personal future, if your major in university is not competitive, taking part in the competition and increasing your practical ability will give you one more choice for future development. For example, it is a choice to participate in the college student entrepreneurship competition, enter the Internet industry in the future, or start your own business.
I'm not saying that it's not important to study hard here, but what I want to tell you is that you should have a clear understanding of your environment and future planning, so that you can better decide whether to concentrate on your study or take part in the competition.
