Looking at China's higher education system, one question is in the spotlight: why do students who graduate from the country's top universities still struggle to earn high salaries in the workplace and cannot afford expensive houses in first-tier cities?This question touches on the biggest difference between China's and U.S. education systems.
In the United States, students who perform well on campus often maintain a preeminent position in society after graduation. In China, the best students on campus do not necessarily achieve the same social achievements after graduation.
There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is the difference in the structure of the economy. Graduates in the U.S. typically have three options: employment, entrepreneurship, or politics. Among them, the opportunity for employment is the greatest.
In the United States, graduates of top schools are often able to enter the world's top 500 companies. Top managers at these companies can earn between $10 million and $3 million a year and potentially earn tens of millions of dollars in career earnings.
In China, graduates from top schools also choose to enter Fortune 500 companies. However, China's top 500 companies offer relatively low salaries. Foreign-owned companies in China are usually overseas branches and do not give high salaries comparable to local executives, even if the annual salary is one million. Private business owners are known for being stingy, and the salaries of presidents and CEOs of listed companies are only about one million yuan. As for state-owned enterprises, not to mention, their salaries are open and will not be excessive.
Therefore, the excellent graduates in China give people the feeling that even if they have achieved good results in employment, they are still dwarfed by those in politics, entrepreneurs, and even live-streaming people.
Of course, domestic companies can also provide senior management positions with an annual salary of 10 million US dollars, such as the senior management of large enterprises such as BAT, whose salary level is very high, and some even have an annual salary of more than 100 million.
However, these high-paying jobs are very rare in China compared to the United States. Whether it's a $10 million job or a $1 million job, it's almost impossible to find in China, and it's even rarer in listed companies.
This phenomenon involves the so-called involution problem. The number of top-tier universities and the number of students enrolled each year are fixed, and no matter how hard students try, the results are the same, everyone suffers, and the benefits are limited.
It's the same with employment, the number of high-paying jobs is limited, the so-called high salaries are not high, no matter how hard you work, the end result is like that, everyone feels miserable, and the benefits are very limited.
The essence of solving this problem is not to lie flat, but to increase the number of top-ranked universities and the number of high-paying jobs.
However, it takes a long time and a lot of effort.
Therefore, we need to think about how to change the status quo and provide more opportunities and choices for young people. Only when the number of top-tier universities increases and the number of high-paying jobs increases, will we be able to truly solve the problem of involution and create a better future for young people.
