China s 400,000 doctoral students are working like beggars, with a monthly income of just over 3,000

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-03-07

According to statistics, the average annual salary of undergraduate graduates in China can reach 14920,000 yuan, the average annual salary of master's students is 18280,000 yuan, and the average annual salary of doctoral students is 1870,000 yuan, in short, the higher the education, the higher the income.

After seeing this data, many people expressed surprise, because they have obviously graduated from a bachelor's degree and have been working for many years, but the annual salary is basically about 100,000, and some even can't reach 100,000 at all.

So in this case, many people will choose to upgrade their academic qualifications, in order to get higher remuneration in this way, however, how many people can really meet their expectations in reality? It is rumored on the Internet that 400,000 doctoral students in China are working in research like beggars, with a monthly income of only more than 3,000 yuan, what is going on?

The monthly salary of 400,000 doctoral students is only 3,000 yuan, and the president of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics angrily reprimanded: like a beggar.

We all know that studying for a PhD is very hard, and it is also within the reach of ordinary people. Doctoral students are important high-level talents in the country, and they play an important role in scientific research and technological innovation. Many doctoral students have passed the year of graduation, perhaps married, or have to take on the responsibility of supporting their families, in the subconscious of the public, doctoral students are basically high-income groups, and an annual income of one million is not a problem.

However, Liu Yuanchun, president of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said in a speech that there are 400,000 PhDs in China, with a monthly income of more than 3,000 yuan, and it is recommended to increase it to 100,000 yuan, with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, so that doctors can really be trained into top talents and let them conduct research with peace of mind.

First of all, it is undeniable that over the years, China has been working hard to improve the treatment of people, for example, in 2017, a notice called "Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Education on Further Improving the National Scholarship Funding Standards for Doctoral Students" made it clear that the annual subsidy for university doctors was increased to 150,000, and the annual subsidy for doctoral students in local colleges and universities will be increased to 130,000 yuan, an average of 250 yuan per person per month. No matter how great the efforts at the national level are, they will be evenly distributed to each specific doctor, and it will become unsatisfactory.

And on the Internet, we often see doctoral students or young teachers in colleges and universities complaining. In March 2022, a teacher named Chen Xingqun at Shenzhen University posted at the school that he had a salary of two or three thousand per month, and he couldn't even pay the Internet fee due to financial difficulties, and hoped that the school would support him. The teacher said that he was rated as basically qualified in the three-year assessment, and the school had to deduct more than 80,000 yuan. This has resulted in the actual salary paid since 2022 being 2,964 in January85 yuan, February 322504 yuan, March 103843 yuan, during the epidemic, college students often need online classes, can't afford the Internet, can't afford to buy traffic packages, and teacher Chen Xingqun is almost unable to teach normally.

There is also a case ** that has previously reported on a doctoral courier Tan Chao, who was admitted to Yanbian University in Jilin in 2015 as a doctoral student in world history. Tan Chao sent 8 years of express delivery during the postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral examination, delivered pieces during the day and studied hard at night, and also created his own express numbering method, which increased the efficiency by two times, sending out 800,000 express deliveries a year, with an annual income of 300,000.

Therefore, the reality is that if the doctoral student has a high degree of education, the salary must be very high, after all, the income and position gap between the doctor and the doctor are very differentiated. Especially after graduating from the doctorate, the nature of the job and the industry also determine the starting point and upper limit of income.

Moreover, many doctoral students are more inclined to all kinds of research, and in this process, there is a large part of the cost, which leads to more financial expenditure. Coupled with the influence of competitive environment factors, many highly educated talents may not be able to achieve the results they want, which is also a more realistic problem. It is precisely in this situation that President Liu Chunyuan said that it is proposed to give 400,000 doctoral students in China a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan per person, so that they should not be allowed to "work in research like beggars", so that these doctoral students can really be cultivated into top talents and let them conduct research with peace of mind.

01.President Liu's suggestion has been approved by netizens for doctoral students, if the income is about 3000, in a big city like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it is estimated that it cannot be described as a difficult life, and the beggar, although there is an exaggeration, but in the eyes of many netizens, it is indeed more appropriate, after all, doctoral students are also facing double pressure.

On the one hand, the pressure of supporting a family Many people are already in a stage where they are old and young, they have the pressure of supporting their families, and they still have heavy scientific research tasks every day, but they are still students, and the tuition fees are paid, but there is no salary guarantee, and they are even sometimes regarded as "cheap labor". Moreover, compared with other fields, they may need to put in more effort than others behind the scenes, and even this effort is several times more than ordinary people, or even dozens of times.

On the other hand, various psychological burdens, such as the psychological burden caused by the income gap, some celebrities have a particularly low education, but they often earn millions or tens of millions. This comparison is indeed a bit cruel, but it is also slightly ironic, and it can only be said that every profession needs to be respected, and the same is true for doctoral students.

Therefore, more people feel that the current objective situation is obviously not conducive to motivating people with abilities and lofty ideals to devote themselves to scientific research. After all, scientific and technological progress requires the efforts of these cultural scholars, and development is inseparable from more talents, therefore, respect for knowledge, respect for talents, so that readers have a decent income, so as to guide the values of the whole society to move closer to knowledge. Finally, do you think the salary of doctoral students is low?
