In recent years, with the popularization of higher education, more and more students have the opportunity to receive a university education and thus change their destiny. In this context, more and more parents are beginning to pay attention to education and invest more resources in the hope that their children can gain a better competitive advantage. However, with the increase in the number of college students, the employment situation is becoming more and more severe, and in order to increase the competitiveness of employment, many students choose to continue their studies and be admitted to graduate school. Postgraduate exams are more popular with college students than public exams or prepared exams, because upgrading their academic qualifications can help students become more attractive in the employment process. With the declining value of a bachelor's degree, most students are thinking about how to find a good job and reduce the burden on their families. However, there are also some students who have the foresight to realize that they can increase their employment advantages and gain recognition from companies through the graduate school entrance examination, so the number of people who are enthusiastic about the graduate school entrance examination is also increasing. In recent years, the popularity of postgraduate entrance examinations has been rising, more than half of the graduates choose to take postgraduate examinations, and tutors are no longer even worried about the postgraduate examination rate, but encourage students with average grades to apply for the examination according to their own situation and avoid doing useless work. The vast majority of students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination because of the excessive pressure of employment, and when they see other students choosing to take the postgraduate examination, they will blindly follow the trend, but students who blindly apply for the examination often fail to successfully go ashore. Because they lack a clear goal, it's easy to waver and hold back during the exam preparation process. In addition, China's postgraduate entrance examination policy has also been changing in recent years, and many colleges and universities have refused to provide dormitories for postgraduate students, which has increased the financial pressure on families and made some students give up postgraduate examinations. With less than a year to go until the 24-year graduate school entrance examination, many students are in the final stages of preparing for the exam. However, it is surprising that some students chose to give up the postgraduate entrance examination when the exam was approaching, which is very surprising. After such a long time of preparation, there is only one step away, and it is a pity to choose to give up.
Expansion: In the current workplace, the demand for graduate students in some popular industries is high, so the craze for postgraduate entrance examinations has been affected by these industries to a certain extent. For example, emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, big data, and Internet finance have a great demand for highly educated talents. At the same time, some traditional fields, such as literature, history and other disciplines, also have higher requirements for postgraduate degrees. Therefore, some students who are interested in pursuing a career in these popular industries or disciplines will choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination to enhance their competitiveness. Postgraduate students can improve their academic level and professional ability through further study, so that they can better adapt to market demand.
1. The test of preparation mentality
Unlike the gaokao, preparing for the graduate school exam is a personal challenge that can easily make students feel lonely and depressed. In the college entrance examination, all students work together and motivate each other, and the morale is relatively more rewarding. In the postgraduate preparation stage, students often need to independently face the massive knowledge of the exam syllabus and review it in an orderly manner. This is a huge test of students' psychological quality, which can easily make them lose their fighting spirit and produce negative emotions.
Extended: Students need to have a good mental quality, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and believe that they are capable of coping with difficulties. Students can enhance their confidence by making a reasonable study plan and allocating their revision time reasonably. At the same time, the family and society should also give students full support and encouragement, and not give students too much psychological pressure.
2. The degree of clarity of the goal
Graduate school entrance exams require students to have clear goals and plans during their preparation for the exam, which can be a challenge for some students. Students who blindly apply for the exam often lack motivation and determination to persist in the process of taking the postgraduate examination, and are prone to retreat in the process of preparing for the exam. They are not clear about their career plans and future, and they are easily shaken in the face of difficulties and pressures.
Extension: Graduate school entrance examination is a challenging process, and students should have a clear understanding of their career plan and future before applying for the exam. In the process of preparing for the exam, you should always remind yourself why you want to take the postgraduate examination, be clear about your goals and motivation, and persevere. At the same time, students can also participate in more practical activities related to their majors to deepen their understanding and interest in the major, so as to enhance their enthusiasm and initiative in preparing for the exam.
3. Research and mastery of disciplines
Graduate students need to have in-depth research and expertise in the subject area they are studying. This requires students to have strong learning ability and research spirit. For those students who are not interested in their subject or have no patience, graduate school can be a difficult journey.
Extension: Graduate school is not about pursuing academic qualifications, but about achieving personal career planning and achievement. Therefore, students should consider their interest and love for the subject they are studying when choosing to take the postgraduate examination. If you don't have a strong interest and love for the subject you're studying, it's hard to stick to it. Therefore, students who are considering going to graduate school should carefully choose their majors to ensure that they have a strong enthusiasm for the subject they are studying and a high motivation to learn.
The 24-year postgraduate entrance examination is about to usher in the largest "abandonment wave", which involves a series of issues that have triggered people's thinking about the education system and employment environment. Postgraduate entrance examinations are a way to improve academic qualifications and personal abilities, but it is not suitable for all students. Blindly following popular trends or blindly applying for exams will only increase the stress and unnecessary financial burden on students.
1. Optimization of educational resources
In the face of the craze for postgraduate entrance examinations, optimizing the allocation of educational resources is the key. ** Colleges and universities should increase investment in undergraduate education, improve the employment environment of college students, and increase the gold content of undergraduate degrees, so as to reduce the pressure of postgraduate entrance examinations. In addition, more career guidance and career planning services should be provided to help students clarify their goals, so as to reduce the number of blind applicants.
2. Strengthen the guidance and education of students
Students and parents should form correct employment concepts and values, and do not blindly pursue academic qualifications and smooth landing, but pay attention to personal development and career planning. Students should set the right goals and plans in high school, and choose majors that suit their interests and abilities, so as to reduce the situation of following popular trends and blindly applying for exams.
3. Strengthen the improvement of the employment environment
* Enterprises should increase the recruitment and training of graduates, and provide more positions and career development opportunities. In addition, cooperation with schools should be strengthened to provide more internship opportunities and vocational training for graduates, enhance their employability competitiveness, and reduce the pressure and demand for graduate school entrance examinations.
In short, the largest "wave of abandonment of the examination" in 24 years is a reflection of the current education and employment environment. Students and parents should have correct employment concepts and values, consider their career planning from the perspective of long-term development, and do not blindly follow the trend and apply for graduate studies. **Universities and enterprises should also strengthen the guidance and education of students, optimize the allocation of educational resources, improve the gold content of undergraduate degrees, and create a better employment environment, so as to reduce the pressure of postgraduate entrance examination and reduce the situation of blind application. Only in this way can we better meet the needs of social development and achieve personal career development and achievement.
