The university here refers to a university with undergraduate courses. Entering a university should be one of the ideal choices for doctoral students in economics, but some doctoral students' laziness and muddleheaded mentality determine that they are not qualified or unable to enter a university. Different institutions have different requirements. This paper only considers domestic colleges and universities, and does not consider the small sample of employment in foreign schools.

Excellent doctoral students who can enter the top economics universities in China.

The top economics colleges in China include well-known comprehensive universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua, People's Congress and Fudan University, as well as several well-known financial colleges. General economics doctoral students want to enter these schools with two conditions: one is a good background, and the other is the ability to publish articles in top journals continuously. When you choose one of them, the scientific research results decide everything. As long as you prove that you have the ability to continuously publish articles in top journals, such as Economic Research, Managing the World and China Social Sciences, there is no doubt that there are few universities in China that you can't get into. For students with this ability, staying in colleges and universities is simply too comfortable. This kind of person can generally be rated as a professor in his thirties or early forties, and then he wants to continue to do academics, but he doesn't want to do it. But such students are a minority after all.

Ordinary doctoral students who can't get into top universities

In addition to the above doctoral students, the remaining doctoral students in economics can be divided into three categories. The first kind of doctoral students in economics wrote an article in Economic Research and other journals due to karma, but they couldn't post it later. The second kind of doctoral students in economics have not published papers in top journals, but most of them can publish general CSSCI. It is difficult for doctoral students of the third kind of economics to publish C periodicals continuously. For the first two doctoral students, they can also enter colleges and universities. As long as they study hard, they will get good returns in the future. If their knowledge is solid, they may not be worse than those who enter top universities in the future. For the third kind of doctoral students, it is best not to think about entering colleges and universities, otherwise it is likely to be a lifelong tragedy.

2. Research institutions and research departments of enterprises

Generally speaking, doctoral students have to do research everywhere, so research institutions are also an important channel to attract doctoral students' employment.

Relevant government research institutions

Such institutions mainly include three categories: social science of party schools, development and reform commissions and research offices, and research departments of state-owned enterprises. These institutions, especially the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Enterprise Research Department, are relatively attractive to doctoral students in economics. Party schools and Academy of Social Sciences, including Central Party School, China Academy of Social Sciences, China Academy of Sciences, and branch schools (branches) in various provinces and cities also recruit a large number of doctoral students in economics every year. The teaching objects of these institutions are mainly officials, so the requirements for classes are relatively high and the requirements for scientific research are relatively low. However, there has been a gradual upward trend in recent years, and the general salary is better than that of young teachers in colleges and universities. Research institutions such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Development Research Center are highly sought after by doctoral students in economics because of their great power and direct participation in the policy-making and formulation process. However, it is difficult to find a job. Generally, there are not many other ways to enter except for civil servants' recruitment. Many times they may need the recommendation of a mentor or other relationships, and the treatment is similar to or better than the first one. The research department of state-owned enterprises is the best among the three types of research structures, and it is normal to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. At present, the research departments of state-owned enterprises recruit people mostly in the form of postdoctoral positions, and many of them are openly recruited.

World-renowned foreign-funded consulting enterprises

Consulting service enterprises are also one of the employment channels for doctoral students in economics, and it is also attractive to enter consulting companies such as McKinsey and Bain. Such companies have higher salaries, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or even millions. However, the number of public recruitment of such companies is not as frequent as that of private research institutions, and these companies relatively prefer undergraduates and master students.

Research departments of domestic private research institutions or enterprises.

There are many such research institutions and there will be more and more in the future. This kind of institutions are mixed, and the good treatment is not worse than the above-mentioned institutions, but the institutions with poor treatment may make you extremely uncomfortable and waste your time, so be sure to ask about the various treatments when choosing, and don't be embarrassed.

go into/enter politics

Politics is also one of the ideal choices for many doctoral students in economics. There are two ways for doctoral students in economics to go into politics. The first is to test civil servants. Every year, there will be some positions of chief clerk to recruit doctoral students in economics in national and provincial examinations. There is a small number of people and great competition, but if you can get in, it should be a good result for most people. Another way to enter politics is to introduce talents or Selected Graduates. At present, it is generally handled by the deputy department or the main department. If you are interested in politics or just go back to your hometown, this way can still be considered. However, I have to remind you that the work of doctoral students in these two ways is mostly to write reports to leaders, so if you really plan to take this road, you should learn how to be a qualified secretary as soon as possible.

4. Postdoctoral researcher

Postdoctoral study does not seem to be employment, but in addition to further study, postdoctoral study can also be considered in the following two situations. In the first case, the person who guides you is Daniel. This kind of cow is not necessarily an academic cow, but a cow with social connections can, or even better. If you have the heart, you can dig carefully on the internet. Many famous people and even senior officials at the ministerial level are doctors or postdoctoral students. If you can be a postdoctoral fellow with them, not only will your annual income be high during your postdoctoral period, but your postdoctoral work will be well solved after you leave the station. In the second case, a time buffer is needed. For example, if you don't find a suitable job and have no children, you can choose to study as a postdoctoral student and buffer for two years. Now many schools can temporarily solve the work and residence of postdoctoral spouses. Of course, relying on others for employment is risky. As a doctoral student, you still have to have your own core competitiveness. Under this premise, getting outside help can get twice the result with half the effort.

start a business

Entrepreneurship is not a normal channel, but now more and more doctoral students in economics choose entrepreneurship. According to my observation, the entrepreneurship chosen by doctoral students in economics generally focuses on educational consulting services, such as planning consulting, primary and secondary education, civil servant training, vocational qualification training and so on. Once this venture is successful, the economic benefit is the best, but it is difficult to succeed. Doctoral students are not advised to choose this path. There are still many employment channels that may have been missed, but most doctoral students should achieve employment in these five employment channels. In fact, for doctoral students in economics, as long as they have the ability to write papers, even if they have only a little ability, they should study hard and strive to publish more C journals. If there is no quality, they should offset it with quantity. For those doctoral students who have no interest in doing research at all, it may be a mistake for you to study PhD, but in order to get a job, you still need to exercise your other abilities, such as expression ability, foreign language ability, project making ability and so on.
