Judging from the current domestic employment situation, academic qualifications seem to be depreciating more and more, on the one hand, the number of domestic academic education expansion is rising year by year, on the other hand, the domestic employment situation is becoming more and more severe, all in all, the depreciation of academic qualifications is a fact, not only is it difficult for master's students to find employment, but even doctoral students are difficult to find employment.
Since the reopening of the college entrance examination in China in 1977, secondary school students in the 80s were also very popular, and the state assigned jobs. In the 90s, college students were even rarer, and various units were also vying for the first place. However, after the 21st century, undergraduates in the 00s, master's students in the 10s, and doctoral students in the 20s have been crushed by the wheels of the super-rapid development of education. Judging from the number of students admitted to the college entrance examination in recent years, it is obvious that academic qualifications are becoming more and more depreciated.
In recent years, the expansion of doctoral students in China has been rapid, and the "985" and strong "211" universities have basically doubled in recent years. Coupled with the poor employment situation in recent years, it is definitely becoming more and more difficult for doctoral students to find employment.
The country has produced so many doctors, coupled with the number of doctoral students returning from overseas, it has indeed greatly exceeded the number of people needed by our current society. Of course, there are two ways of thinking about talent training, one is to meet the needs of society, and the other is to reserve talents for society. Even if it is a reserve talent, it seems that the number is relatively too large.
From the perspective of national talent training, only some of the future doctoral students have strong scientific research ability and high-level publishing ability, and they will still be recognized and respected by the society, so that such doctoral students can smoothly embark on the job matching with the doctor and get the corresponding social treatment. Naturally, this kind of doctor is still a talent in short supply in the country, and there is still the value of studying for a doctorate.
5] Future doctoral students should lower their employment expectations.
Judging from the current employment situation, future PhDs should lower their employment expectations. For example, you can give up first-tier and second-tier cities to work in third- and fourth-tier cities, you can also give up large enterprises and choose emerging technology-based enterprises with development prospects, you can also choose to go to some vocational and technical colleges, vocational universities, etc., or even some scientific research institutions, communities, etc. If doctoral students lower their employment expectations, the employment prospects are still quite good.
To sum up, although the number of doctoral students is increasing, it is still a minority for a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, after all, the development of the country also needs more high-end talents. It's just that to study for a doctorate, you have to see what major you study, whether you have a real interest in research, whether you feel that you have real scientific research strength in the future, whether you are a doctor from a famous university, and whether it meets the social needs of high-end talents in the future...Wait, if you are not sure, but just to get a doctorate and get employed, you have to weigh it carefully.
