Brother Xiang Zhangge feels that going to graduate school, especially going to a higher level of graduate school, can really widen the gap between people. Studying as a graduate student at a prestigious university will give you the possibility to improve your level. Surround yourself with better people and see a different world.
If you can, please cherish your time and choose to go to graduate school.
My high school classmates and I are a good example of this.
When Brother Xiang Zhang's high school tutoring, the guy who sat in the front row of me was nicknamed Rabbit. The two of us did a lot of stupid things together in the year of tutoring, skipping class to go to an Internet café, deliberately tricking the teacher, and answering the answers on the exam papers. He was my best friend in high school, and our friendship went from high school to college. The reason why we compare him is because we both have similar grades in high school, the family environment is similar, his family is slightly richer than mine, and he and I have similar hobbies, both love history, discuss history with each other after class and at night, and go to buy expired magazines to make up for recent current news.
Usually we have similar test scores, but when I slammed the college entrance examination, he was a full 20 points higher than me.
One point higher can be dozens of people higher, and he is hundreds higher than me! Especially for those students with good grades, this 20-point gap is the difference between top universities and ordinary 211 universities.
Rabbit went to China University of Political Science and Law and studied law, which is one of the best law schools in China.
I went to Dalian Maritime University, an ordinary 211, and from the step of the college entrance examination, I was much behind him.
In the four years of college, we still acted together, for example, we went on a trip together during the holidays, skipped class to go to Beijing to play when I was not busy with schoolwork, ate and lived in his dormitory in Changping, and when Mr. Luo Xiang had not yet become popular on the Internet, I listened to his criminal law class, to tell the truth, it was really several streets away from my university teacher. At that time, I felt that such a teacher was too powerful, and the lectures were not only humorous, but also made people understand the concepts very deeply.
But after all, we are so far apart, and we don't get along day and night, and when I was in college, I only saw him for more than ten days a year, but I naively felt that there were too many differences between us. Isn't it just that they are all in college, and our college is not bad, isn't everyone like this?
However, the academic style and platform of China University of Political Science and Law are really not comparable to an ordinary 211 university like me.
In his four years of college, he engaged in projects, wrote **, he played well, his grades were better, and finally he won the Jiangping Scholarship and also guaranteed his research at the university.
I started a club, participated in a debate competition, and won a prize, but anyway, I didn't study hard, I went crazy, and I didn't care about my grades. In the end, I procrastinated several times before I was admitted to a small civil service.
I worked as a civil servant in a small place for three years, and I learned some simple life and career experience.
He studied at China University of Political Science and Law for three years, and his internships were all in a large financial institution on the side of Liangmaqiao.
Three years later, I participated in the selection and selection, and finally returned to the city, which is a great progress; He graduated with a master's degree and joined a well-known large central enterprise, starting directly with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan.
For three years, my work was just like that, and there was nothing to say about it.
He is working hard to study, intern, and write, and has gained a platform that he doesn't know how high or good.
But our gap is getting wider. So big that we may not be in the same class in the future. When he was in high school before, he thought that he would also take the civil service exam in the future, but as he went to college, he wanted to make a lot of money as a lawyer, and later he found that engaging in industries such as finance may be the most profitable. As for me, when I was admitted to a small civil servant, I was proud, and I felt as if I was the most beautiful boy on this street.
The thing that touched me the most happened in 2019.
This year, his subject's undergraduate friends got married in Dalian, and I drove my little broken car to the airport to pick them up and take them on a tour of Dalian by the way.
That day, I drove them to the hotel site, I sat in the woman's seat, and listened to the rabbit say that the couple was a high school bully, and they were in love and married.
The groom, a bachelor's degree from Peking University, a master's degree from Tsinghua Wudaokou, and then worked in private equity.
The bride has a bachelor's degree from Beijing Normal University, a master's degree from Renmin University, and is also a lawyer from a large law firm.
And then they all struggled in Beijing.
This... Lei's I am scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, I think at the beginning, when I was in the county, I attended a colleague's wedding, then our small circle is a civil servant looking for a teacher, everyone thinks, wow, it's really a good match, and the future will be a small life. Later, when I returned to the city, I felt that I was in a higher position, and I participated in the wedding of my colleagues, that is, civil servants, bank clerks, teachers, and doctors, and I thought it was great. Look at my colleagues again, what is the master's degree in maritime affairs and the master's degree of the University of Science and Technology is already very good, and the woman wants an unknown returnee master's degree, so she thinks that she is talented and beautiful, and her education is comparable.
Let's take a look at my high school classmate Rabbit, Beijing has property, foreign housing, large central enterprises work, annual salary of 30+, in and out of five-star hotels, what China Southern Airlines Pearl Card member. He is a master of China University of Political Science and Law and a civil servant of the National XX Committee. I went to the airport to pick them up that day, and sent a circle of friends to welcome Mr. Chen and the leaders of the ministries and commissions to come to Dalian to guide the work, and even the always cold director took the initiative to send me a WeChat message, asking me which ministry leader came? When I went to work on Monday, he specially called me to the office and asked me if I knew my classmates well, and if you could introduce me.
Look at me again, a small civil servant, that's all, and look at people again, what is the gap between ordinary schools and prestigious schools?!
This is the difference between graduate school and non-graduate school!
Look at the field that others are engaged in, and you will know the level where they are, which is higher and which is lower, and what is the gap.
Of course, the most important thing for me to feel the gap is talking to them.
I inadvertently asked, are all of your undergraduate students in graduate school?
Instead, he first said, "Yes, they are all in graduate school, are there any who don't go to graduate school?"
I thought about the four people in my college dormitory, emmm, none of us went to graduate school.
Think about our class again.,It seems that there are only a few girls in graduate school.。。。 Moreover, their development is much stronger than that of women who have not gone to graduate school.
Only one of Rabbit's college roommates graduated from bachelor's degree and was admitted to the Beijing Municipal Civil Service Examination, and the rest are all in graduate school, and the dormitory of his object is basically like this. The better the school, the more graduate school and the more people go abroad. After graduation, the development is basically better.
So you know the difference between working and going to graduate school, right?
That's the difference between the ordinary and the excellent.
