Thirty years ago, technical high school students beat gongs and drums, and now college students come out to eat soil.
After studying hard for 20 years, my parents spent hundreds of thousands, but I earned two thousand five after graduation, why is my academic background less and less valuable?
In 1997, my grandfather was admitted to a secondary technical school, which caused an uproar in the county.
In 1992, my father was admitted to high school, and the admission letter was personally sent by the principal.
In 2017, I passed my bachelor's degree and celebrated with my family eating hot pot.
When my grandfather graduated, he brought his family to the city. After his father finished his studies, he bought a house in the city. After graduating, I couldn't find a job and was unemployed for half a year.
This is the comment of a certain netizen. In just a few words, it pierced the hearts of many young people.
The monthly salary of college graduates in 2000 was around 4,000.
More than 20 years later, there are still only so many college students today. After deducting one-third of the rent and the other half of the food and transportation expenses, there is basically not much left in a month.
The trend of depreciation of academic qualifications is unstoppable. How serious are the consequences of a diploma being worthless?
The first is the waste of talent.
There are many people who have studied hard for more than ten years and have mastered a lot of knowledge, but they have not applied it.
Unemployment data for April this year.
The unemployment rate for the labor force aged 16 to 24 is 204%。In other words, one in five young people is unemployed.
If there are too few job opportunities, a large number of graduates will be forced to take jobs that do not match their majors and pay less.
According to statistics, there is currently 1 graduate student for every 100 delivery workers. Meituan has a bachelor's degree or above and employs more than 170,000 people.
Of the country's 3 million couriers, nearly 300,000 are college students.
There are also 4 college graduates among real estate agents4% have double first-class schools. There are even many top students in the Northern Qing Dynasty.
Look at how popular normal students used to be, and they could become teachers after graduation. There are now many master's and doctoral students vying for a place as a primary school teacher. Students from prestigious schools still have choices, and they can support themselves by learning technology. It's really embarrassing, there are only groups like double non-academic qualifications and high school graduates.
This group of people has been indoctrinated from an early age with the notion that exams can change their fate. As a result, they can't find a job that suits them, but they are reluctant to work in factories, move bricks, and do manual work. For these people, academic qualifications are not a springboard, but a bond that binds fate.
So, there was a magical scene in the market. The company can't recruit people, graduates can't find jobs, and if they can't find a job, then continue to study. In recent years, the structure of the university has changed. This year, the number of master's and doctoral graduates from 25 985 universities exceeded the number of undergraduates, and the number of graduate students applying for the examination was even higher than the target of 4.74 million.
Competition among civil servants has also intensified, with tens of thousands of people gradually emerging. Most of the positions start with a master's degree, and there is no shortage of students from prestigious universities.
You say that it is so rolled, but it can't be rolled at all.
According to statistics, China's per capita education expenditure is about 300,000 yuan, ranking fifth in the world. How much did you spend from elementary school to university?
So what is the reason for this phenomenon in society?
First, colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment.
When the college entrance examination was reinstated in 1997, 5.7 million people took the exam, but only 270,000 were admitted, an acceptance rate of only 5 percent.
At that time, college students were known as the pride of the sky.
When the college entrance examination was reformed in 1999, the number of applicants was 2.88 million, and the number of admissions was 1.6 million. About half of them can go to college. In 2011, 10.78 million people took the college entrance examination nationwide, and 10.13 million were admitted, with an acceptance rate of 9288%。
The second is the issue of making cakes and sharing cakes. The market cake is so big, but more and more people come to eat it. If this problem is not solved, polarization will occur.
A group of people worked hard to study Xi, take the postgraduate entrance examination, and study for a doctorate. Go abroad to win gold and enrich your academic experience and resume.
Another group dropped out of school halfway through school to learn a skill that would allow them to eat and not be replaced by a machine for a short time.
Who is to blame for this situation?
To put it mildly, this is not only a problem for us, but also for the developing countries of the world. This is the throes of industrial transformation.
And we are just a group of little people who have been swept away by the torrent of the times and are desperately trying to crawl forward.
Uncertainty and worry about the future are perhaps the biggest dilemmas facing our generation.
Finally, I would like to say that academic qualifications may not help you achieve your dreams, but knowledge can indeed change your destiny, and learning Xi is still the fairest stepping stone for us.
No matter what the future holds, you should never lose your drive and desire for the truth.
