In Hebei, a parent proudly shares his child's story.
Instead of following the trend of university education, the young man chose a technical school after graduating from junior high school and specialized in welding technology.
Today, he has worked in the shipyard for many years, earning as much as 20,000 yuan a month, and is not only self-sufficient, but also has purchased real estate and cars.
At the same time, his neighbor, a college graduate, has repeatedly been frustrated in his job search.
The parents firmly believe that not going to college is the best decision for their children, because in their eyes, a college education is meaningless to their children.
However, such an opinion has sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Some people believe that journalism and communication is a "sinkhole" in itself, and this is not a problem with university education.
Some people also said that a salary of 20,000 yuan a month is already very good, how many college students can get such a salary after graduation?
But some netizens insist that going to college is still useful, and their children can earn up to 600,000 yuan a year after graduating from graduate school, and they can easily find jobs in high-paying large companies such as Huawei.
In fact, the high salaries of skilled workers in shipyards and the employment plight of 211 journalism graduates are normal phenomena in the current society.
China is vigorously developing vocational education, and the wage level of professional workers will continue to increase.
And for 211 graduates to find a job in some majors, this is also a common situation because the market is saturated in some industries.
However, not all majors face such problems, and the employment situation of popular majors remains positive.
In the long run, academic qualifications remain an important factor in personal development.
So, what should we make about this difference between college students and welders?
