Graduate students, as the highest academic qualification, are favored by contemporary college students. Since 2018, the number of graduate school students has increased dramatically, and it will not ease until the deadline for graduate school entrance examination in 2024. As for the pros and cons of the graduate school entrance examination, students preparing for the exam can often only get some information from the seniors who have already walked this path.
In the minds of many candidates, being admitted to graduate school is all good. However, they don't realize that passing the graduate school entrance examination is only the beginning, and the real challenge lies in the graduate level. During their graduate studies, they were under much more pressure than expected, causing more and more candidates to regret choosing to go to graduate school.
Graduate students are divided into two levels: master's and doctorate, and most candidates study for graduate school to improve their employability. However, the joy of going ashore contrasted sharply with the helplessness of their graduate studies, and this sense of helplessness caused them to gradually become depressed.
I have lost the feeling of happiness", one senior confessed to his graduate school status. As of 2024, relevant data shows that the number of applicants for this research examination has declined for the first time, a decrease of 360,000 from last year. This is both an opportunity and a nuisance for candidates, leaving them to waver and unsure whether the postgraduate entrance examination is still the best option.
As a senior said, what he hopes now is to live an ordinary life, find an ordinary job, work step by step, get off work on time every day, enjoy the sunset, listen to his favorite songs, taste his favorite snacks, go home to enjoy his mother's meals, chat and walk with his family, watch dramas and games at home on weekends, and occasionally have a big meal or watch a movie with friends.
However, this kind of life seems unattainable to the senior who is in graduate school, he has no evening break, no weekends, can't do what he likes, and struggles in the bitter sea of ** and group meetings every day. For him, he has lost the ability to feel pleasure.
Not only this senior, but also many people who have lost their sense of happiness because of graduate school have also appeared. Because they can't bear the huge pressure of graduate school, they have long forgotten the original intention of choosing to go to graduate school, and even began to doubt themselves, forcing themselves to work hard every day. ”
The status of many graduate students is precarious, and the 2024 research examination is approaching, and the participating candidates are nervously preparing for the exam. Despite the sharp drop in the number of applicants, competition among candidates remains fierce and they have to prepare for the upcoming research exams.
At the same time, a large number of graduate students have shared their status online, which not only affects the candidates who are preparing for the exam, but also exacerbates their psychological stress. Because most candidates are under tremendous psychological pressure, if the pressure of graduate school exceeds that of graduate school, these candidates have doubts about whether they can persevere.
These candidates have put in a lot of effort to get ashore and spend a lot of time and energy preparing for the exam, just to get a place to go ashore. However, is such an effort really what they want?This is perhaps the main reason for their hesitation.
Some candidates even said: "Is it too late to regret it now?""They hesitate because of the self-exposure of many graduate seniors, as if graduate students do not have to take the exam, at least they still have a way out, although the time from graduation to exam preparation is wasted, this loss is acceptable to candidates who have just graduated.
But if you regret it until you are in graduate school, the candidate's loss will be even greater. As a result, many candidates begin to think about the idea that sometimes letting go in time is not a retreat, but a search for another path. After all, no one can guarantee that you will get a good job if you are admitted to graduate school, especially as the number of graduate students increases year by year.
What's more, there are many candidates who just follow the trend to apply for the exam, and there is no profound significance of the postgraduate entrance examination at all, just because they follow the crowd. This decision may bring them immeasurable losses, and even miss out on good job opportunities because of the graduate school entrance examination, which is obviously not worth the loss.
Today's topic: What is your understanding of "abandoning the test", is it to retreat or stop losses in time?
