How do the graduating college students make a rational choice between postgraduate entrance examination and employment?

Two aspects: your psychological tendency and your actual situation.

Time has passed quietly, and with the end of undergraduate study, where to go has become a problem faced by some students now. So, how to choose postgraduate entrance examination and employment? Let me talk about how I made a choice in the postgraduate entrance examination, hoping to bring you some reference.

I thought about this question earlier, because I prefer to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and I began to consider which direction to choose almost in the next semester of my sophomore year. So I began to evaluate in the following situations, and then made a series of choices according to the actual situation.

First, psychological tendency

Everyone is an adult, so we should look at things with mature eyes. Once you choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, it means that you will continue to study for 2-3 years, and the expenses during this period should be considered, such as tuition and accommodation. If it is employment, it means fighting with others with a bachelor's degree.

Relatively speaking, I am more inclined to take the postgraduate entrance examination psychologically, because I still want to continue my studies subjectively. And if it is you, in fact, you should have some ideas in your heart at this time, but it is not very solid and easy to shake.

Second, professional prospects

The employment prospects of each major are different, so I won't discuss this here. In some fields, the knowledge learned by graduate students will be deeper than that of undergraduates, which will be more helpful to their work, while the contents learned by graduate students in some majors are no different from those of undergraduates, and they are the same in their work. For the latter, the prospect of not taking the postgraduate entrance examination is almost the same. At this time, if you are not interested in the postgraduate entrance examination, just work directly, while the former needs your careful consideration.

Fourth, the direction of job hunting.

If the job you want to do in the future is practical and has low academic requirements, it is recommended to get employment first, such as financial work and management work. These jobs require high work experience. The earlier you get a job, the more practical experience you have accumulated, and the easier it is to get promoted or jump to a higher platform in the future.

If your chosen field of work requires very high academic qualifications, such as lawyers and doctors, then the knowledge you have learned in undergraduate course is far from enough in practical work. Moreover, when recruiting for such units, the minimum education may be above the postgraduate level, and it is difficult to find employment without postgraduate entrance examination.

Ability identification of verbs (abbreviation of verb)

If you are adaptable, you can live anywhere and go to the society to polish as soon as possible; If you have strong research or academic ability, you can calm down and study, and you are not afraid of boredom. Postgraduate entrance examination may be more suitable for you. The process of judging yourself is also the process of making several choices. Knowing your own needs, you can make a choice.

Sixth, the optimal scheme.

If fresh graduates have objective jobs within the system. Then try to choose a job. Because the work within the system itself is very rare, I can experience the work within the system first. At the same time, the opportunity to work within the system is not available every year, but the opportunity to take the postgraduate entrance examination is available every year. Many fresh graduates miss the work in the system, and it is difficult to enter the system in the future.

At that time, I had a classmate who chose between postgraduate entrance examination and civil servants when he graduated, and finally chose civil servants without hesitation.

7. Do you have any ideas about university work?

Students want to work in colleges and universities in the future, to engage in simple jobs such as administration or counselors, and to be professors in colleges and universities. If they don't take the postgraduate entrance examination, it is almost impossible to work in colleges and universities. The administrative work of colleges and universities basically requires postgraduate education, and some colleges and universities also have strict requirements for postgraduate majors.

So, at this time, don't worry. As long as you weigh the pros and cons, know more about your actual situation and be careful, you can choose between the two.
