Choosing graduate school: it is conducive to improving ability.
First of all, talk about the choice of graduate school. From the perspective of improving ability, choosing graduate school is definitely the most conducive to professional growth. After entering the civil service, in the future, you will devote yourself to your work and have little chance to get professional promotion. But if you choose to go to graduate school, you can still enjoy 2-3 years of college time, devote yourself to academic research and enjoy the university atmosphere. Especially if your major is academic and you can find better job opportunities after graduate school, maybe graduate school is a better choice.
Choose to be a civil servant: make money right away
The advantage of becoming a civil servant now is very realistic, that is, you can get paid immediately, earn money immediately and spend money immediately. Fundamentally speaking, the purpose of going to college is nothing more than finding a job, especially a job with strong stability and high salary. The career of civil servants just fits the imagination of many people for a good job. Spending money at home is different from spending your own money. I can make money myself, and the salary is very good, and my personal sense of accomplishment is also very good. In contrast, graduate school may not guarantee that you can find a well-paid job in the future.
Choose to go to graduate school: choose more after graduation.
From the usual point of view, college students may face more choices after graduate school. Especially those college students majoring in science and engineering, after graduation, their professional ability is stronger, their professional quality is deeper, they are more competent for difficult jobs, and they are more likely to get higher salaries. Of course, if you are a liberal arts student, you may not be guaranteed to find a more cost-effective job than a civil servant after graduation.
Choosing to be a civil servant: no employment pressure
Being a civil servant means that you won't face employment pressure for a long time. Civil servants are called iron rice bowls. Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't violate the law and discipline, there will be no risk of being laid off or leaving your job from now until retirement. If you choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, though, in a high probability, your job opportunities and bargaining power will be improved. But from the perspective of the working class, there are really few jobs with higher gold content than civil servants in China today. Graduate students may still face greater employment pressure.
