There are as many undergraduates as a dog? The data speaks for itself, say no to the "uselessness of academic qualifications".

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the saturation of academic qualifications, and it is widely believed that the increase in the number of university students makes it more difficult to find employment. There is a popular saying that "there are many undergraduates, and there are as many junior colleges as dogs", which means that the value of undergraduate degrees is declining. However, this is not the case.

In some first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the streets seem to be full of college students, and they generally have high academic qualifications, giving people the illusion that undergraduates are "rotten streets". This notion has led to a loud cry for "academic saturation" during graduation season. However, this situation is limited to a few first-tier cities, because these cities are rich in resources to attract a large number of college students, and it is not universal.

According to the statistics of the past 40 years, the cumulative number of college graduates has reached 11,51820,000 people, calculated according to the proportion of undergraduate and junior college respectively, there are about 5,759 undergraduates10,000 people. Considering that the total population of our country is 141178 people, undergraduate students account for only about 4 percent. Although this data is not accurate, it is enough to show that the number of undergraduate students is far less than everyone thinks, and one undergraduate student is at least more than 90% of the population. Contrary to popular belief, undergraduates are not saturated, on the contrary, they are actually quite scarce. This is also confirmed from the perspective of university enrollment.

The increase in the rate of admission to the college entrance examination is not only due to the improvement of education standards, but also due to the expansion of university enrollment. This year, the scale of many undergraduate colleges and universities has expanded significantly, such as Anhui University, which has reached 8,000 undergraduate students, and added three new majors. This provides more opportunities for candidates locally.

However, the expansion is not a blind move. Some graduates blame the inability to find a good job, but the education sector must have taken it into account. The purpose of university enrollment expansion is to meet the demand for talent, not to make the number of university students exceed the demand.

Despite this, the employment situation of undergraduates is not ideal, and some people refer to it as the phenomenon of "academic involution". Although the academic threshold for some positions has been raised to graduate level, academic qualifications still have their value. Therefore, undergraduates need to improve themselves and cultivate personal abilities to increase their employability competitiveness.

First of all, you should maintain self-discipline and avoid wasting your college time. Secondly, professional courses should be studied well, because employers first value professional ability. Finally, it is more meaningful to make good use of your spare time, such as participating in social practice or obtaining a vocational qualification, rather than wasting time.

Therefore, the saying that "there are many undergraduates everywhere, and there are as many specialties as dogs" is not true. The saturation of college students is an illusion, and the "theory of the uselessness of academic qualifications" is even more fallacious. In fact, high-level talent is still a scarce resource.

Therefore, when undergraduates are not satisfied with their employment situation, they should reflect on the position of their own abilities in the academic level and strive to improve their overall quality. Have reasonable expectations for work, too high expectations will only increase the difficulty of employment.
