In today's society, with the increase in the popularization of education, the popularity of undergraduate degrees is also increasing year by year. However, this increase in penetration has not led to a boom in the job market, but has made many undergraduates feel that it is difficult to find employment, and even have a feeling that a bachelor's degree is becoming less and less valuable. So, why is it so hard for undergraduates to get employment right now? Is the effort of a high degree proportional to the return after graduation? Is it necessary for ordinary people to pursue a high degree of education?
First, let's take a look at why it's so hard for undergraduates to get employment right now. On the one hand, with the implementation of the policy of expanding the enrollment of colleges and universities, the number of college students has increased significantly, resulting in an increasingly competitive job market. On the other hand, many positions do not have strict academic requirements, but focus more on the candidate's practical experience and professional skills. This makes it difficult for many undergraduates to find a job because they lack practical experience and skills to meet the needs of companies.
Secondly, let's take a look at whether the effort of a high degree is directly proportional to the return after graduation. In reality, many highly educated people have made great efforts and sacrifices in order to pursue higher academic qualifications, including long hours of study, high tuition fees, and lost opportunities for social practice. However, after graduation, they may find that they do not have a significant advantage in the job market and may even face the same employment dilemmas as undergraduates. In this case, the ratio between the effort and the return of a high degree of education is not so harmonious.
So, is it necessary for ordinary people to pursue high education? There is no one set answer to this question as everyone's situation is different. For some people, pursuing a high degree can help them better achieve their career plans and life goals. For example, it is very important for those who wish to pursue high-end careers such as scientific research, education, etc., to have a high degree of education. However, for others, pursuing a high degree may not be optimal. They can improve their competitiveness by learning practical skills, gaining practical experience, and expanding their relationships to achieve their career goals.
Of course, we can't deny the advantages of a high degree of education. People with advanced academic qualifications often have deeper expertise and a wider network of contacts, which can help them better develop their talents and potential in the workplace. At the same time, with the continuous development of society, the requirements for academic qualifications in some high-end occupations are also increasing, so having a high degree can lay a better foundation for personal career development.
However, we also need to be soberly aware that a high degree of education is not a panacea. In the workplace, in addition to academic qualifications, there are many other factors that will affect a person's career development, such as personal ability, work attitude, teamwork spirit, etc. Therefore, even if you have a high degree of education, you need to continue to learn and improve your abilities in order to be invincible in the workplace.
To sum up, for ordinary people, whether to pursue a high degree or not needs to be decided according to their actual situation and goals. We cannot blindly pursue a high degree without ignoring other important factors, nor can we lose confidence and motivation because of the increased popularity of undergraduate degrees. Only by making wise choices based on your actual situation and goals, and constantly learning and improving your abilities, can you succeed in the workplace.
