First, universities have expanded their enrollment in an all-round way.
Basically popularize the whole people to go to college, and as long as they don't drop out of school, they can basically go to college. Therefore, the gold content of college students will inevitably decline.
Second, we can't say that universities are useless. It depends on whether they are key universities.
Students in key universities are still popular and generally have high quality. The reason is that students who study well from junior high school to senior high school have an inertial learning thinking, so they are also studying in universities, so they have a better foundation and are easier to cultivate.
Third, knowledge in universities is becoming more and more rigid.
What many college students learn in college is not basic or basically useless to society.
Many companies recruit graduates with little foundation and need training, but they can't afford training for small and medium-sized enterprises, so they have to fire them.
Fourth, the social level.
Now it is an open market. There are more and more college students, but most of them are from technical backgrounds. Therefore, technical talents are not popular. At present, the market is in urgent need of sales talents. It is often the newly graduated college students who despise this profession, so they give space to many students without academic qualifications or vocational schools. Because these students have no skills and education, they can only turn over by sales.
It is precisely the current market economy that needs hard sales. And selling people who are most likely to start a business because of their contact with customers. So everyone subconsciously thinks that college students are becoming more and more useless.
Going to college is just an opportunity for society to provide more learning opportunities for outstanding students in order to cultivate talents. As for success or not, it is mainly our own efforts.
