1) "monthly salary" 1500 yuan
In the "Leadership Message Board" of a website, a Shandong netizen suggested: Shandong Province is facing a critical period of conversion between old and new kinetic energy, talents are the main driving force, and doctors are the main crowd of high-tech industries in the future. Doctoral students in their twenties and thirties only get 1.5 million a month, which is very stressful. Moreover, there is no scientific research fund project that doctoral students can apply for in the province. It is strongly recommended that the province pay more attention to doctoral students and increase provincial grants, scholarships and research funds for students.
The monthly subsidy for doctoral students is only 1500 yuan, which is far below the national per capita disposable income, and even the minimum wage in some areas is not up to standard, which is really too low.
Of course, we have to admit that this subsidy level is in line with national requirements. According to the relevant regulations, the national grant for doctoral students in central universities is10.5 million yuan per student per year, and the national grant for doctoral students in local universities is not less than10.3 million yuan per student per year.
But now the cost of living is so high that the monthly subsidy is only 1500. Not to mention food and clothing, it is difficult to guarantee normal eating and drinking. We shout "attach importance to talents and scientific research" every day, but is it unreasonable to be so stingy with this group of top scientific research talents?
2) Get old before you get rich
From elementary school to junior high school, to high school, to university, to master's degree and doctor's degree, they are at least 25 years old when they study for doctors, and many of them are around 30 years old. If you consider postponing, you will be older when you study for a doctorate.
According to data released by the Ministry of Education, the delayed graduation rate of doctoral students in China is as high as 40%. Delaying your doctoral graduation will not only make you older, but also mean that you may not get state subsidies, and you will lose your only "salary" of 1500 yuan every month. How do you live?
Many doctors' life experiences explain what "getting old before getting rich" means! If they hadn't studied for a doctorate, they would have been married long ago, earning enough money every month and spending the weekend with their wives and children. However, because they have a doctorate, they can't take care of their families, or they simply don't have the time and ability to get married. At this age, they lead a hard life and get old before they get rich.
If the subsidy is too small, life depends entirely on parents. Imagine a 30-year-old doctoral student with little or no income. If he is busy in the laboratory until the early morning every day, what a depressing feeling it will be. According to a survey report of Nature magazine 202 1, 40% of the 690 interviewees of Dr. China said that they had sought psychological help because of depression and anxiety, but only 10% thought that they had received effective help from their school or research institute.
