The first challenge of the article The master's examination starts today, and the number of applicants for this year's postgraduate examination is declining for the first time in three years, what signal does this reveal?
First of all, the essence of the postgraduate entrance examination is only to delay the time to enter the society, judging from the employment status of college students graduating today, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a job, the salary is getting lower and lower, and the society is becoming more and more involuted, so they are not willing to enter the workplace as scheduled, but choose to take the postgraduate examination, pretending to be very hard-working.
In the past few decades, improving academic qualifications is indeed conducive to employment, and there is a high probability of getting a higher salary, but now it is different, today's college students have also found that even if they work hard, after three years of master's degree, it is still as difficult to find a job after graduation, and the speed of academic improvement is becoming more and more difficult to catch up with the increasing difficulty of finding a job, so they give up their illusions, recognize the reality, and graduate school is nothing more than delaying the time to enter the society, and it may be more difficult to find a job after three years.
At the same time, we also found another phenomenon, although the number of applicants for graduate school began to decline this year, the number of applicants for civil service examinations is increasing. According to public data, the number of applicants for the national examination exceeded 3 million for the first time, what does this mean, this means that an average of 77 people compete for a position, of which the most competitive top ten positions have an acceptance rate of 1700:1, and the first place is as high as 3572:1
We also saw a very shocking news before, that is, a doctor of nuclear physics from Peking University actually took the chengguan exam, when everyone was very puzzled, the girl replied, what is face, I just want to live. It sounds regretful and sad. It's not that she's wrong, we can only analyze what made her make such a choice, doesn't she want to show what she has learned, doesn't she want to enter the field of scientific research, education or high-end technology;Doesn't she want to have a better social status, but the reality is very helpless.
Through these social phenomena, we can also analyze the various stages of development of society, and the requirements for talents are also different. For example, if someone has a deposit of 30 million or 50 million, then he will definitely have no problem entering the bank.
At present, the domestic employment situation has the following phenomena:
First, the employment situation is becoming more and more severe, and now the competition is becoming more and more fierce, everyone is no longer willing to take risks when looking for a job, but begins to pursue a sense of security, so state-owned enterprises, central enterprises, and civil servants have become the first choice for many people.
Second, the expansion of university enrollment, the increase in the number of college students, the depreciation of academic qualifications, graduate students, is no longer a sweet spot, and having a graduate diploma does not ensure smooth employment.
Third, the competition for postgraduate entrance examinations is fierce and the cost is high, and the cost performance of postgraduate examinations is also declining year by year, while civil servants have a stable income, and although the welfare benefits are not necessarily very high, they are stable, so the civil service examination has become the first choice for young people at present.
There is a young man next to me, a bachelor's and master's degree student at a university in Wuhan, who used to work in a real estate company, but with the downturn of the real estate industry, he had no choice but to resign. After that, I worked for a short period of time for 2 years, but I still didn't see any hope. Later, he took the civil service exam while working, and even resigned in 2021, and reviewed at home full-time, and his hard work paid off, and in August 2022, he joined a provincial capital city in the west as he wished, becoming a civil servant, although the work is also very hard, but at least it is very stable, and there is no need to be afraid anymore.
In short, in this day and age, stability is paramount!
