From ancient times to the present, parents have had endless expectations for their children, hoping that they can live a better life than themselves. This expectation is especially strong in ordinary families, who hope to change the fate of their children through the power of education, and get rid of the shackles of the existing class. However, as the times progressed, the reality began to get brutal. College graduates are finding it much harder to find a stable job than they think. In this context, some graduates choose to use the resources of their families to start their own businesses, becoming what we call the "second generation", and their outcomes are different because of this. This article will take an eldest sister and her daughter as an example, the problem of college graduates returning to their original class.
The eldest sister is a woman who has worked hard for many years as a stall worker, and she has been working hard to sell cooked food in order to provide for her daughter's college education. After years of hard work, she finally fulfilled her wish for her daughter's college dream. However, the eldest sister, who originally hoped that her daughter would be able to find an ideal job after graduation and got rid of the stall life, faced the cruelty of reality. The daughter is looking for a job that does not earn as much as setting up a stall, and in the end, the eldest sister and daughter decided to sell cooked food together and will become the "second generation of stalls" who set up stalls.
Although the income of the stall is relatively not low, this does not realize the desire of the eldest sister to promote the class. On the contrary, the mother and daughter duo are still stuck in the original class and have fallen into a situation that cannot be broken through. This dilemma is not only faced by this eldest sister, many families dream of changing their fate and moving towards a better life through their children's education. However, in this era of dwarfed academic qualifications, universities do not change a person's destiny as expected. Although the quality of the university and the level of education have an impact on the probability of success, it is not absolute. Even among college graduates, there will be some who stand out and succeed because of their personal efforts and talents. It's just that the probability of this is relatively low.
The eldest sister did her best to send her daughter to college, hoping that she would change her fate. However, after graduation, the daughter returned to her original class, which is a very normal situation at present. Maybe it's because their daughter's school and education are not what they expected, or maybe they haven't encountered the opportunity to change their fate. In the absence of a better option, selling cooked food may earn more than working as a clerk, and as long as you do it well, you can also make a good living.
In the context of contemporary society, going to university can no longer change one's fate in an instant, or even one, as it did in the past. While studying and going to college may still provide a life-changing opportunity, there is no guarantee of success. Even among the graduates of Tsinghua University and Peking University, many of them live the lives of ordinary people, and this trend will only become more and more obvious. The reality is that many high-end jobs require more and more talent, and it is difficult for ordinary college students to meet the requirements of these positions. Even general positions, such as national examinations, public examinations, etc., also require people with a certain strength, and it is difficult for ordinary college students to pass the exam. This is also the reason why it is difficult for graduates to find jobs.
Through the discussion of the story of this eldest sister and her daughter, I pondered the impact of this era on us. Once upon a time, a university education was seen as the best way to break down class restrictions. However, these days we are faced with the problem of depreciation of academic qualifications, and many college graduates find it difficult to find a good job. In this competitive society, simply having a paper degree doesn't guarantee that we'll be able to make an immediate difference.
Nevertheless, I remain a firm believer in the power of education. A university education not only brings us knowledge and skills, but more importantly, develops our thinking skills and innovative spirit. By learning Xi, we can broaden our horizons, develop our abilities, and lay a solid foundation for future development.
However, there are other factors besides education that affect our destiny. Family background, social environment, opportunities, etc., these are all factors beyond our control. Therefore, even if we have a good educational background, we need to practice step by step, accumulate experience, and constantly improve our abilities. Instead of expecting education to change us, we should focus on improving ourselves and adapting to social changes.
All in all, in these unpredictable times, we need to face reality and rise to the challenge bravely. Whether through education or other means, only continuous progress and hard work can allow us to better integrate into society and realize our dreams. We should be clear that the significance of education goes far beyond the goal of changing destiny, it is more a spiritual pursuit and an opportunity for personal growth. Let's keep this belief in this belief and work hard for our future!
