At present, the employment situation of college graduates is grim, and both fresh graduates and former graduates are facing the dilemma of finding their ideal jobs. Moreover, students with low academic qualifications often cannot find good jobs, and master's and doctoral students with higher academic qualifications will be limited by their first academic qualifications. Even, in recent years, there has been a phenomenon of reverse postgraduate entrance examinations. Reverse postgraduate entrance examination refers to students who go to graduate school, but find that the salary is not as high as when they graduated from undergraduate. This is a very embarrassing situation. I thought that it would be less difficult for master's students from well-known universities to find employment in the future, but in reality, it is difficult to achieve a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
A master's student at the University of Science and Technology of China chose to apply for a job at Huawei when he entered the workplace. However, he was "broken" by Huawei's HR words. As a strong national enterprise, Huawei has good development prospects, and has always had a relatively high salary, attracting many outstanding talents. Particularly envied by college graduates is Huawei's "Gifted Teenager Program," in which each participant receives an annual salary of one million. However, due to the emergence of too many outstanding talents within Huawei, many students are still not favored in the job search process, even if they have a background from a prestigious university and a high degree of education.
The master's student at the University of Science and Technology of China once complained that when he applied for Huawei, he was only placed at level 13. The main reason why students feel "broken" is that he was told by Huawei that he would be placed in Level 13 when he was an undergraduate. However, he was later admitted to graduate school and graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and found that he could still only enter the 13th grade. Looking back on these three years of graduate student life, he felt a little lonely. After seeing this, many students said that if they had not chosen to go to graduate school and had joined Huawei as an undergraduate, they might have been "laid off" by the company. Every industry is undergoing changes, and it is normal for companies to decline, and it is inevitable that salaries will fall. As a level 13 position provided by Huawei, the annual salary can also reach about 200,000 yuan, which is definitely a very good treatment for ordinary students. However, for master's students from the University of Science and Technology of China, such a salary does not meet their expectations. But no matter how good a student is, the salary package will still be affected by the progress of the times and changes in the market. At the same time, it must also be admitted that the current phenomenon of involution of academic qualifications is quite serious. In large national enterprises such as Huawei, graduates from highly educated and prestigious universities are no longer scarce, and returnees from well-known universities abound. Therefore, this kind of academic qualification may no longer be popular within Huawei, which is also a normal phenomenon.
When graduating from university, students often stand at the fork in the road of key choices in their lives, facing the choice between employment and graduate school. Choosing to seize the opportunity of employment or improve academic qualifications has become an important decision, which is related to the future development of individuals. Specifically, students first need to clarify their purpose for entering graduate school. If it is just to avoid employment, then it is not recommended to choose the postgraduate entrance examination, because this will greatly reduce the chance of landing on the shore and will only waste time. Second, there is a need to assess the current trends in the job market. If the student's major has good employment prospects, then direct employment to accumulate work experience is preferred. Finally, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the costs associated with graduate school entrance examinations and the employment prospects of graduate students. Some industries place more emphasis on a student's ability than academic qualifications. If we can seize the opportunity of employment, direct employment will undoubtedly have better development. After graduation, students who have improved their academic qualifications through the postgraduate entrance examination have improved their academic qualifications, but their understanding of relevant affairs in the industry is still insufficient, and they may not have an advantage when they are employed. These pros and cons need to be weighed in advance before students make a decision.
According to my personal thoughts and opinions, the choice between employment and graduate school entrance examination should be decided according to individual circumstances. For those students who are just starting out in the workforce, direct employment may be a more sensible option as it allows them to gain work experience and adapt to the social working environment as early as possible. However, for some students who wish to further their studies and improve their academic standards, postgraduate entrance examination is the way to go. Whichever option they choose, students should have a good understanding of the employment situation and trends in their industry to make a more informed choice. In addition, students should also plan and prepare well in advance, not only academically, but also to understand their interests and strengths, and consider the needs and changes of the future job market.
In short, it is common for students to face the dilemma of employment, especially for highly educated master's students, who cannot easily find their dream job. Faced with this problem, different students should make rational choices according to their own circumstances and have a clear career plan. Whether it is to seize the opportunity of employment or improve academic qualifications and graduate school entrance examinations, students need to fully weigh the pros and cons when making decisions, and at the same time clarify their goals and development directions, and formulate reasonable plans and action plans on this basis. With the dual factors of personal effort and timing, I believe that every student will be able to find their ideal job opportunity to achieve personal development and life value.
