Different majors have different employment difficulties. Most science and engineering majors are easier to find jobs than liberal arts majors, mostly in the computer industry and construction industry. And the job competition is not very fierce, and the salary is relatively average. If you are a student of 985 prestigious schools, it is basically easy to find a job after graduation, and it is difficult to sign contracts with some big factories or state-owned enterprises. However, for most undergraduates, employment is still very difficult, especially for liberal arts majors, such as journalism and communication or Chinese language and literature. There are only two destinations for graduation. 1 One is to be a teacher, and the other is to be a civil servant. There is no other good choice.
It is precisely because it is difficult to find a job that many college students begin to take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation, which has also created the current postgraduate entrance examination fever. Last year, there were as many as 4.7 million candidates for postgraduate entrance examination. Some netizens estimate that there are about 5.2 million candidates this year, which will increase by hundreds of thousands every year. On the one hand, it shows the pressure of difficult employment, on the other hand, it shows that academic qualifications are increasingly becoming the threshold for many jobs. It has become the knowledge of many college students that it is difficult to find a job without a postgraduate degree and a doctoral degree, so many people take part in the postgraduate entrance examination every winter and summer vacation.
Examining civil servants is also a way to ease employment. At present, the wages in the whole social environment are generally low. Due to the epidemic, many large factories are laying off employees, so taking the civil service examination and taking the postgraduate entrance examination have become the two major places for college graduates. However, the number of graduate students and civil servants is only a certain number every year, and the number of applicants remains high every year. In the long run, it will also form a phenomenon of great employment pressure and difficulty in applying for the exam. The admission rate of some civil servants has reached 1,000: 1, and only one person is admitted to every 1,000 people on average.
