Why do counselors have to be under 28 years old?

For the position of college counselor, it is more reasonable to require an age of under 28. After all, as you get older, there will be a generation gap when dealing with young college students, it will be difficult to communicate, and you may not have enough energy. However, a doctoral degree is not required. An undergraduate degree background is sufficient to manage the academic level required of the student. People with doctoral degrees are overqualified for this position and are a waste of resources. If the resources of these doctoral students are saved and put into appropriate professional positions, they will have the opportunity to create greater value, which will not only benefit their personal development, but also make the resource allocation of the entire society more reasonable. However, considering the poor employment situation, the supply of doctoral students in the talent market exceeds demand. If doctoral students cannot find a more suitable position, finding a temporary transition position is also a feasible career option. Moreover, the position of university counselor is also part of the university system, so there should be opportunities to transfer to academic research positions, which is at least closer to one's ideal position than primary school teacher or community grid member. Therefore, Shenzhen University requires a doctoral degree to recruit counselors. Although it is not reasonable in theory, there is room for implementation in reality and there will be no silence. However, the combination of young age and high education makes these seemingly acceptable conditions very harsh and difficult, and is not a requirement that ordinary people can meet. The 28-year-old Ph.D. requires that there should be no negligence in academic studies, and all nodes must be given the green light to meet this requirement. If you really want to have such a smooth academic program, you should be able to study and research, and there is no need to compromise on the position of counselor. Of course, it is not ruled out that some students, although they have good learning ability, are not clear about their life plans. Their improvement in academic qualifications is mainly to blindly follow trends in order to gain a competitive advantage in employment, rather than to conduct academic research. They are the ones being recruited for these types of positions. In fact, the reason why the school dares to make this request may be because there are too many interested job seekers in reality, and it needs to set a certain threshold to reduce the workload of recruitment, and at the same time, it may improve the business performance level of the position. If the recruitment requirements set by the school are unrealistic and cannot recruit suitable candidates, the recruitment standards will naturally be lowered. After all, standards are dead, people are alive, and job vacancies exist. Therefore, this seemingly harsh recruitment condition has its own objective environment. Instead of ridiculing and criticizing the absurdity of school behavior, it is better to think about the distortions and extremes of the real environment and adjust your own cognition and behavior. In recent years, the rapid development of higher education in our country has promoted the development of social science and technology, but it has also brought about many negative social problems due to its blind and disorderly development. For example, the blind worship of high academic qualifications has led to a disconnect between academic pursuits and life development, resulting in a waste of educational resources; uneven development in various regions, a shortage of talents in developed areas, and a shortage of talents in remote areas. Therefore, the direction of higher education in our country should be adjusted to reduce the pursuit of quantity, increase the requirements for quality, and strive to guide it to conform to the actual development of society.
