Don't go to graduate school if you haven't figured out what to do!
This article and my previous article "No matter how many marks you get in the exam, I suggest you must go to a big city" are my painstaking works. You can click on the historical article to view it.

Ok, I admit that I am a title party, but a one-sided title does not mean that the content is extreme. Please allow me to take my time. Welcome to clap bricks.

First, graduate school is actually a waste of time.

Recently, I chatted with a few friends and talked about my current job. They often showed a surprisingly consistent mood: this job is really boring, and I really want to quit after doing it. Forget it, naked resignation ... But when asked why I didn't quit, the reasons were surprisingly consistent: I didn't know where to apply, and I felt that people wouldn't want me because I didn't have relevant work experience ... As a person in my twenties, I felt very weak. If only I hadn't gone to graduate school and had young capital to start over.

Second, I don't recommend going to graduate school directly.

This makes me think about whether to go to graduate school or not, and when to go to graduate school. My point is: I went to graduate school in a daze without listening to your exhortation from the older generation.

Before you have a clear idea, when you are still worried about whether to graduate from graduate school or work, go to work! For a person who has no clear direction, working for 2-3 years is much more meaningful than being forced to study in school (in fact, many people don't like academics) for 2-3 years. If you really want to go to graduate school, find the direction you want to deepen in the next 3-5 years through work before going to graduate school.

3 the value of work is greater than that of graduate school.

Some people will say, it's easy for you to talk. I will work directly without going to graduate school. Not only is my salary 2000 yuan per month for graduate students, but there is no hope of promotion. Even many units can't pass my resume because of my education.

I want to say: For you who have no interest in learning at all, after 2-3 years of undergraduate work, facing a more open society, meeting more people and experiencing a richer life, accumulating life and work experience is much more important than how much income you get. Even if your salary is lower than that of graduate students, your salary will increase with rich salary experience.

When you and your classmates stand at the crossroads of undergraduate graduation, you choose graduate school because there is no purpose, and he chooses employment because he is at a loss. I can predict that his salary will rise not far from your graduate employment in three years, but he has shouldered the burden of life, known the real state of his work, and even accumulated the first bucket of money to buy a house and a car, or he needs to go to graduate school with a purpose because of his work. And you seem to have published a few more papers that the applicant doesn't value at all, and got a higher salary than him, and the rest is like a blank sheet of paper.

After all, education is just a stepping stone. For most positions that don't require you to have a strong academic ability, the value of working ability is far greater than academic qualifications.

Have you seen yourself in time?

You may say again: I see that many people after work can't leave graduate school at all, because they are busy with work and have no school environment, so it is difficult for them to prepare for the exam. It is impossible to go to graduate school after work.

In this regard, I want to say: dear, your purpose is not to go to graduate school, your purpose is to let yourself appreciate, and graduate school is just one of the ways to invest in yourself. When a person is unwilling to give up his job to go to graduate school, it just shows that his current job is more valuable than graduate school; As for time, there is a famous saying: "Time is like a woman's cleavage, there will always be a squeeze." Whether you can make time for graduate school depends entirely on you.

For example, I found that many people pay more attention to their leisure time after work than at school. In the past, everyone spent a lot of time at school, often surfing the web and playing games. Now, with the squeeze of daytime work, they are more and more aware of the value of time outside work, and are more willing to invest their precious time in places of personal value.

5 ? Work makes your graduate school more targeted.

My graduate student is a professional master, and many people who have worked in the same major come to study. They are in intensive classes on Saturday, Sunday, winter and summer vacations.

At the same time, others not only got double certificates, but also did not have an essential impact on their work. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone, saving time and effort, and in the current words, it is "cost-effective". Moreover, because many students have worked, they can better combine their work practice with theoretical study, and the papers written are more instructive. Whether in school or in life, I feel that these students with work experience are more targeted. And those of us who go to graduate school directly after undergraduate course feel more like repeating undergraduate course.

6 sharpen the knife and don't miss the woodcutter

In my opinion, for some undergraduates who don't have a clear direction, the question of whether to work or go to graduate school after graduation is essentially a PK of two different choices: finding the direction while walking, taking things as they are, and making a good direction.

I believe that most of us ordinary people invest in schools for a broader career path in the future. Therefore, no matter what job you are engaged in in in the future, I advocate that you get a job first, and then pursue further studies (either graduate school or take some other valuable certificates), because only in this way can you avoid wasting your precious graduate youth in some fields that you are not good at and don't like at all. Time also has a cost!

It is understandable that seven people have their own aspirations.

Of course, there are many people like me who have no clear development direction. Sometimes the postgraduate entrance examination is to realize one's famous school complex. After all, there are still so many people with feelings in this world who are willing to pursue these beautiful dreams, or give themselves a buffer time to think about their future development direction ... For these people, I think others' choices are understandable and I don't want to comment here. In addition, everyone has their own interests and likes academics very much. Please close my article, lest I lead you astray.

Come on, dry this bowl of chicken soup.

Finally, I repeat my simple and rude point of view: please don't go to graduate school without thinking clearly about what to do.

Come on, dry this bowl of crude chicken soup!
