It can be seen from the data that some college students, like Li Ming, gave up the postgraduate entrance examination after studying for undergraduate studies and directly chose employment. According to statistics, more and more undergraduates are choosing to enter the workforce directly, and this trend has attracted a lot of attention in the job market. Compared with the postgraduate entrance examination, direct employment has become the best choice for fresh graduates to realize their career dreams.
While a graduate degree may bring advantages in some industries, undergraduates are equally competitive in many fields thanks to their flexibility, ability to innovate, and adaptability. Especially in the fast-growing emerging industry, the potential of undergraduates is fully recognized.
