China has always been in urgent need of high-level talents in the process of development, and in China, the highest academic qualifications are usually postgraduates, including master's and doctoral students.
Students who are able to pursue a PhD are usually people who are passionate about academics, love to learn, and have excellent learning ability, because not many people can make it to this stage.
However, while more women are admitted to graduate school than men, relatively few women choose to pursue a PhD. Many women choose to work after graduate school, and only a few choose to continue their studies.
There is a reason for this phenomenon, and a woman who has had such an experience expressed her thoughts on the Internet, she lamented: "After studying for a doctorate, I realized that some of the physical characteristics of women are difficult to overcome, and eventually lead to a dilemma. ”
She mentioned that she was fortunate to have met wonderful mentors and supportive family members, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to endure everything. The support of her mentor and the understanding and care of her family became the key to her perseverance, otherwise it would be really difficult for a girl to persevere.
Women pursuing a PhD can face a range of physiological issues that are confusing for many students. First of all, the age factor puts pressure on them. Normally, you need to be over 30 years old to complete your PhD, and if you delay your PhD, you need extra time.
After graduation, it seems that everything has just begun to think about work and starting a family, but everyone feels that everything is rushed, which is even more stressful compared to those students who graduated early.
Luckily, the girl had already started a family during her PhD studies and had her supportive husband behind her. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she was able to receive timely guidance and maximum encouragement, which allowed her to successfully resist the onslaught of stress.
Another obvious physiological problem is that women tend to miss out on the best time to have children. As we all know, women have the best period to give birth, and once they exceed the age of 35, they are considered to be elderly mothers, and childbirth brings certain risks because of the gradual decline in physical function.
Therefore, after graduating from the doctorate, a female woman may miss the best period of childbearing if she thinks about falling in love, getting married, and having children. Although a Ph.D. degree has certain advantages when looking for a job, it is inevitable that you will face questions about your plans to get married and have children, which may affect your career development.
In addition, women who choose to get married and have children after graduating from the PhD are likely to be ridiculed by others, and some students have completed the marriage and childbirth during their doctoral studies. Although there is no rule that this cannot be done, and even some college students get married while still in college, this is still considered a rather troublesome thing to some extent. Since the concept of Chinese people is generally relatively conservative, they are easy to be ridiculed and discussed by others, so they need to consider carefully and have a clear understanding of themselves.
Although some people can have the best of both worlds in their careers and families, which is enviable. However, if a female doctor does not have a significant other, it is easy to become the object of public ridicule. Some people joke that there are three types of people in the world: men, women, and female doctors.
In the eyes of many people, female doctors will be labeled as "older leftover women" if they have not found a partner, and even if they have a high degree of education, it may be difficult to find a suitable other half. What's more, the requirements and vision of female doctors are relatively high, which is difficult to understand.
The road to this stage is not easy, if you have the ability, don't give up easily, and don't care too much about the eyes of others. Some people may question whether the road to a PhD is so difficult and there are many things to consider, so is it worth it?In fact, it's worth it whenever you do your PhD.
Studying for a PhD is more like an investment, and after working, those who graduate with a PhD usually achieve a significant increase in salary and promotion opportunities, and at the same time, they can also improve their personal abilities in all aspects during their PhD, bringing new life experiences.
Although the process can be hard and painful, the rewards that come with a moment of success are not just academic qualifications, but many other aspects involved.
In addition, in our country, PhDs are regarded as high-end talents, and this kind of academic qualification makes people look up to the holders. This also means that at the societal level, the status of the PhD is higher, and the future life will be more in line with personal expectations.
Now that students have chosen to pursue a PhD, they should go all out and try to reduce the possibility of delaying graduation so as not to waste more time. There is no need to be anxious about the future.
The future prospects of the PhD are still very clear, as long as you make a good plan for your study and life, and implement it in a planned way, you will not feel anxious.
At the same time, we must adjust our mentality. Although many people around me have joined the society early to make a living or start a family, everyone's ideas and plans are different, and you can't blindly compare them, otherwise it will only add to your troubles.
Closing remarks. A female student tearfully reported that after studying for a doctorate, she found that her physical characteristics were insurmountable, mainly because the age of the postdoctoral fellow brought great pressure and tests to women. In fact, life requires careful planning and sometimes going with the flow.
However, the answer to the question of whether or not it is worth pursuing a PhD is always yes. Students who have the ability and conditions are best to choose to study for a doctorate, whether they are male or female.
Although women may face more pressure and work harder, everyone should stick with it and make what they think is the right choice. Nothing can make us give up on our goals and persistence, we just need to work hard.
