Vocational school students complained about "unequal pay for the same post", and the difference between them and undergraduates was 6,000 yuan, and netizens felt that it was very reasonable
Since the implementation of the high school entrance examination diversion policy, vocational high technical schools have been labeled as "flood beasts" and "no future" by some parents. However, in reality, the employment situation of vocational school students after graduation is not as bad as the outside world thinks.
Vocational schools are divided into technical secondary schools and junior colleges, and graduates of many vocational schools also have the opportunity to enter the enterprise employment in the same way as undergraduates. Different positions in the enterprise have different requirements for academic qualifications, so the same position may recruit both undergraduate and junior college students. This phenomenon is known as "unequal pay for equal work".
Whether "unequal pay for equal posts" is reasonable has always been a controversial topic. Most people think it's unfair because, in their opinion, the same work should be paid the same. However, this phenomenon is not new, CCTV reported on it a long time ago.
A vocational school student revealed to CCTV reporters that in his company, there is a difference in the income of vocational school students and undergraduates in the same position, and the starting salary of vocational school students is about 30% lower. Moreover, people with higher academic qualifications also have a higher starting point in their careers. Of course, income is not set in stone and will grow to some degree over time. The dean of the School of Information Engineering of a higher vocational college said that the graduates of the college can earn six or seven thousand yuan a month after working in their corresponding positions for three months.
In the latest survey data in 2021, it shows that in high-tech positions, the starting salary gap between vocational school students and undergraduates is 6,000 yuan, a difference of 6,000 yuan, a difference of 200 yuan. This also explains why some vocational school students are dissatisfied and complain about this. It may be understandable that there is a difference in salary between undergraduate and vocational school students who hold different positions in the same company. However, the difference in salary in the same position makes vocational school students feel psychologically unbalanced, is this because of the undergraduate diploma?
Business leaders believe that the difference in salary between vocational school students and undergraduates in the same position is mainly due to development potential. When you first start working, there isn't much difference between the two, but over time, the advantages for undergraduates become apparent. The four years of college are not in vain, and the knowledge learned during the university will gradually be reflected in the work, such as the ability to explore, innovate and vision, etc., which are usually better than vocational school students. Vocational school students are guaranteed to complete their own work, while undergraduate students are able to broaden their minds and learn to understand problems outside of their own work.
Although vocational students and undergraduates work in the same position, the direction of future development is different, and the value they bring to the business is also different. Undergraduates tend to be more efficient, productive, and productive at work, and in order to retain these talents, companies are willing to offer higher salaries to undergraduates, but also for the long-term development of the company.
However, if the salary is the same, undergraduates may be reluctant to choose a position that vocational students are usually qualified for. For an enterprise, relying too much on vocational school students may not be conducive to all-round development. Many netizens also believe that "unequal pay for the same job" is reasonable, believing that those who put more effort into learning and master higher levels of knowledge and skills should receive higher salaries, and for those who feel unfair, they should work harder to improve themselves.
There is no absolute fairness in this world, and it is more practical to complain about the difference in academic qualifications of employers than to think about how to improve personal ability. Academic qualifications are seen as a ticket to admission, and only through academic qualifications can you get opportunities. Next, it is necessary to make up for the lack of academic qualifications by showing personal ability. The author firmly believes that ability is far more important than academic qualifications, and employers will not be stupid enough to give up on a capable person and choose an "empty shell" with only academic qualifications.
Students should make the most of their time to study well, create opportunities for themselves, and fill in the gaps in their academic qualifications through personal ability. It is normal for some people to study hard to get into a good university, study diligently, and enjoy a certain advantage in the job market after graduation. When others are studying hard, some students may be greedy for wasted time, so why should such people demand the same treatment as those who study hard?
Learning is a bitter and then sweet process, and academic qualifications have unique advantages in employment. But if the academic qualifications are not enough, then it needs to be filled by personal ability. Finally, I would like to emphasize that when talking about the differential treatment of academic qualifications in employment, we should not deny the value of academic qualifications based solely on examples such as Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, because the situation of these successful people is unique, and they drop out of school because their abilities have far exceeded the level of universities. Therefore, we need to look at the differences between people rationally. Today's topic: Do you think "unequal pay for the same job" is reasonable?
