On the upsurge of postgraduate entrance examinations in the new century.
The value of a master's degree varies.
The 2022 Graduate School Record Exam ushered in the first wave of "absences", and to everyone's surprise, the number of students who missed the exam was higher than expected. This phenomenon has led to the importance of degree education. This is not to say that a master's degree is useless, but in the context of today's times and today's employment environment, for some students from poor families, postgraduate entrance examination is no longer the best choice. Graduate school entrance exams are time-consuming and costly, so if you don't have a lot of money, it may be a better idea to find a job on your own.
Extension: Nowadays, with the rapid development of the economy, the number of college graduates is also increasing, and the employment situation is becoming more and more serious. And a master's degree, when looking for a job, will gradually lose its competitiveness. The tuition fees and living expenses required after completing a master's degree are also rising year by year, which increases the financial pressure on the families of poor students. As a result, many young people are thinking about whether it is meaningful to go to graduate school and whether it is necessary to strive for it.
Difference between graduate and undergraduate students.
China's current postgraduate training system divides it into two types: "academic doctor" and "professional degree". The master's degree is mainly scientific research, focusing on in-depth scientific research;Master's students pay more attention to the cultivation of professional research and practical skills. In recent years, due to the increasing demand for talents and the better and better working environment for professional degree graduates, the postgraduate entrance examination fever has been cooling down.
Extension: Due to the difference in educational purpose and career orientation, graduate education and graduate education make students have a greater purpose when choosing a major. If you're interested in scientific research and want to make a difference in your area of expertise, then you might want to consider pursuing a PhD. If you want to find a job and want to improve your professional level, a master's degree will be more suitable for you. In addition, master's degree students can also bring more job opportunities to university graduates and ease the burden on their families.
The purpose and persistence of the postgraduate entrance examination are the key to the decision.
Some people have given up on continuing their PhD, and their purpose may not be very clear, but they will also make corresponding decisions depending on the situation. When they see that everyone around them has chosen to go to graduate school, they will follow suit, but it is not surprising that they will give up halfway. The graduate exam requires strong willpower and willpower, and as long as you are firm in your purpose, you can keep going.
Extension: The Graduate Record Exam is a challenging task that takes a lot of time and effort, so it's not uncommon for you to choose to leave. Some people who can't find their place and purpose in school can go out into society or take another path. Life decisions should be made according to one's own preferences and talents, and should not be affected by external pressures.
Difficulties in graduate admission and the employment status of graduates.
Some expect that the national line for the National Graduate Admissions Examination will decline this year due to a decline of 360,000 in total graduate enrollment nationwide. Although the number is small, it is indeed a blessing for the graduate school. Since the number of candidates is smaller, the exam is less competitive.
Extension: The master's examination is a difficult course to learn, which takes a lot of effort and time. The difficulties of graduate enrollment are related to the number of admissions and the difficulty of examinations, and the decline in graduate enrollment this year may help this. However, when facing the postgraduate examination, students still have to make a final effort, and they must devote all their energy to revision so as not to let their hard work go to waste.
Conclusion. In short, from the perspective of the changes in master's degrees, the difference between master's and master's degrees, personal goals and perseverance in postgraduate examinations, and the difficulties and employment situation of postgraduate examinations, the "wave of absenteeism" in 2023 will trigger a wave of "absenteeism". Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has their own aspirations. We need to respect individual freedoms, take responsibility for our decisions, and fight for our future.
Abstract:In 2022, there was a "wave of absences" for the master's degree examination for the first time, and the number of applicants exceeded expectations, which caused people to reflect on the quality of their education. With the changes of the times and the severe employment situation, some students from poor backgrounds have begun to reflect on the significance of the postgraduate entrance examination. The difference between graduate and master's degrees allows students to have more goals when applying for the exam. The postgraduate entrance examination must have a clear purpose, perseverance, and continuous breakthroughs. Although the cut-off score for the National Graduate School Entrance Examination has dropped this year, candidates still need to seize the time to revise. We should show respect and responsibility for our own future and work hard for our future.
