We should know that the total number of college graduates in 202 1 is about 9 million, which means that half of the students now choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation. Why is everyone so keen on the postgraduate entrance examination now? There are two main reasons:
First of all, it is not excluded that some of them are just needed, because some professional positions and some popular units have rigid requirements for graduate education. This kind of postgraduate entrance examination is undoubtedly a must. Try to get into a good school and major.
But there is a bigger reason. Affected by the epidemic in the past two years, the employment situation is indeed worse than in previous years. Studying abroad has also been greatly affected, and the competition for civil service examinations is unprecedentedly fierce. Therefore, most graduates want to go to graduate school and look for a job when the economy is good. And the average salary of graduate students is really 2000 higher than that of undergraduates. This has to be said. If you really have your own plan, or want to study technology seriously and do academic work, then the postgraduate entrance examination is definitely no problem. However, it does not rule out that some people take the postgraduate entrance examination only to escape the fierce employment competition. I'm telling you, these people need to think about it. Because it's really not much easier for civil servants to take the postgraduate entrance examination now than for you to find a job. The number of postgraduate students has broken the historical record, but the number of full-time postgraduate students in China has basically not increased by 4.57 million. Only 165438+ 10,000 people were admitted, and the admission rate was only 24%. It is even more difficult to take the civil service exam. Only 6.5438+0.5 million people were admitted to the 5 million-person exam, and the admission rate was only 3%, which caught up with the admission rate of MIT.
Basically, what I want to say is that except for a few positions with strong professional requirements, such as doing scientific research, being a doctor, or being a programmer, these professional qualifications can't actually play a decisive role in your future success. There is no evidence in my mouth, but a great god made a data analysis with the scores of tens of thousands of college entrance examinations over the years. The result of this data simply subverts the cognition of ordinary people. These data show that the college entrance examination can get 200 points higher than a line. After working for five years, the income is 2.5 times higher than that of people who have passed a line, and it is 3 times higher after graduation ten years. Moreover, the longer the time, the greater the income gap. However, the income of everyone below one line has little to do with the college entrance examination scores. Ten years after graduation, even the higher the score, the lower the income. Is it subversive? This is actually very easy to explain. Those who can score 200 points higher than one line are not ordinary people, but are all at the level of Tsinghua Peking University. When intelligence enters this field, it can really achieve the effect of one to one. For example, a high-level programmer can solve the problems that plague hundreds of ordinary programmers. The cold data also tells us once again that unless people with superior intelligence, the income of ordinary people will not be much different because of your education. Sometimes it is better to work early, accumulate experience, or spend three years as a graduate student, and seize the dividend of emerging industries.
Everyone knows how much water a bucket can hold, depending on the shortest board in the bucket. But not at work. Ren once said that I don't care about the shortcomings of life. I just want to make my longboard and find someone else's longboard to put it together. This is a very high pipe. Instead of spending a lot of time and energy to make up the shortcomings, it is better to find your own advantages and maximize your own advantages. It is true that all the doors in the workplace can be tested, and 90% of the top students may not earn as much as the person who only got 100 in one course.
The present situation of postgraduate entrance examination is like this. Starting from self, finding the right position is the key.
