Introduction.
Now, this year's graduate school entrance exams have come to an end. Compared with previous years, the number of applicants for the Graduate School Entrance Examination has dropped sharply, setting a record low. During this period, batches of students withdrew one after another in the early stage, triggering a wave of "abandonment of the exam". However, this situation does not mean that the master's degree is not valuable, but it only shows that the current situation of postgraduate entrance examination is not optimistic, especially for those students from poor families.
On the Extension of Reasons for Exam Abandonment.
1. Economic pressure.
Children from poor families have already put in a lot of effort and financial resources when they go to college, so their families are in a difficult situation. While colleges and universities are expanding their enrollment, the number of applicants for graduate studies is also increasing, and the competition for examinations is also increasing. However, the postgraduate entrance examination still brings heavy financial pressure to many families. This move comes after the state announced the abolition of "graduate apartments", and many people who plan to go to graduate school have to rent out. This not only increases the financial burden on the average student, but also increases the burden on their families, making them unable to pay for further study, so they will choose to give up.
2. Employment pressure.
The postgraduate entrance examination is not everyone's ultimate goal, and some students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination more to enhance their competitiveness and better jobs. However, in recent years, there has been a new development trend in the educational reform of colleges and universities in China, and at the same time, a large number of college graduates have difficulty finding employment. The cost of a vocational degree graduate is relatively high, and it is also a large expense for a family. Therefore, many people tend to pursue a graduate degree, which can not only find a job quickly, but also ease the financial burden on their families.
3. The problem of lack of goals.
Some people don't have a clear purpose before taking the master's degree exam, just because the people around them are taking the master's degree exam, and they follow the path of a master's degree. However, the graduate exam is a long process, and without a clear direction, there is a high probability that a person will lose motivation to move forward halfway through. Therefore, before choosing to go to graduate school, this type of student must think carefully about it and figure out whether he is really suitable for the life path of the graduate school entrance examination, so as not to blindly follow the trend and cause failure in the graduate school entrance examination.
The consequences and implications of abandoning the exam.
1. Reduce the difficulty of postgraduate examinations.
Compared to the same period last year, the number of master's student enrollments has dropped by 360,000 this year, which is good news for students. The decrease in the number of students will inevitably lead to a decrease in enthusiasm for the graduate examination, but relatively speaking, the difficulty of the graduate examination will decrease. However, the difficulty of the college entrance examination, the number of students admitted and the performance of the students themselves are still the main reasons for the decline of the college entrance examination admission score. Therefore, candidates must concentrate and do not let their guard down in this final exam.
2. Give full play to students' strengths.
Those who have been able to get this far have put a lot of effort into it, and their self-control and willpower are very strong. They are able to devote themselves to the examination with a high level of enthusiasm despite the difficult conditions of the Graduate School Entrance Examination, which is a well-rounded quality and a strong will to overcome difficulties. Therefore, candidates who successfully pass the exam, whether in the first or second round, will have very excellent results and have a strong competitive advantage.
Brief summary. In short, the "wave of abandonment of the examination" in 2024 does not mean that the master's degree has no meaning, but it only shows that the current situation of postgraduate entrance examination is not optimistic. Economic pressure, employment pressure, and unclear goals in life are important factors for college students to choose graduate students. In addition, there are some students who choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination in order to reduce financial pressure and work better. The outstanding skills of these hard-working students in their future jobs will add more competitiveness to their future jobs and job searches.
Although this year's "abandonment wave" has caused some impact on the entire postgraduate examination industry, I think that as long as students who really want to take the postgraduate examination, they will still stick to their ideals and finally win. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination is a process of hardship and perseverance, and the students who can successfully land on the shore in the end have undoubtedly withstood the test. Therefore, when we complete our career development plan, we must make appropriate choices based on our actual situation and purpose, and move forward bravely despite difficulties. Only in this way can you give full play to your talents and achieve the value of your life in this competitive workplace.
