In the nineties of the last century, two classmates graduated from 985 University majoring in architecture, one entered the university as a teacher, and the other entered a real estate company. When I started to go to a real estate company, I looked down on my classmates who were teachers in college, and a few thousand yuan a month was not enough for a meal in a high-end hotel.
In the first 20 years, it was still like this, the classmates of the real estate company became the general manager of the project, with an annual salary of nearly 1 million, and I felt that it was still better than mixing in the university.
But in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, my classmates in the real estate company were laid off and went home because of the market downturn, and it was difficult to find a better job, so they were at home. And in the university, the student has become the vice president of the university last year, and the scenery is infinite.
Therefore, the choice of career after graduating from college is at least as important as filling in the college entrance examination, and it is another major choice in life.
Coincidentally, my nephew graduated with a doctorate in architecture from the "Old Eighth School of Architecture", and we didn't understand that he chose to be a teacher at the university.
The nephew graduated with a doctorate in 2018 and chose to be a teacher in a university in Wuhan, with a salary of more than 6,000 a month, and other miscellaneous incomes of about 100,000 a year. The family didn't understand it, and felt that after reading books for more than 20 years, 985 universities graduated with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, and their income of 100,000 yuan a year was a big loss. Everyone wants to find a job in a design unit or real estate development company casually, with an annual salary of at least 20-300,000 yuan, but it is not worth it.
But after three years of the epidemic, the real estate downturn, and now the employment difficulties, everyone feels that his choice is right. During the three years of the epidemic, I still received a salary after staying at home for several months. Now that many design companies and real estate development companies are laying off employees and cutting salaries, he doesn't have to worry about being laid off or taking a salary cut.
And the prospects for his future development in college will also be very good, he is now an associate professor, and his salary has also risen a lot, which is really promising.
Now that I think about it, my nephew is a very thoughtful child with his own opinions, and it seems that his choices are more thoughtful and long-term than we thought.
The choice of career after graduating from college will directly affect the child's life, so the choice of career should be considered in the long run, and do not pay attention to the small profits in front of you.
