Record of Class Divide Among T University Undergraduate Roommates: Where to Go?

After all, times have changed.

My father graduated from a key engineering college in the 1980s. His grades were not very good, but he was still assigned a job after graduation. In their class, there are nine cadres above the department level alone. Some of the senior brothers who are several years older than him have become members of the Central Committee, and some have become nationally famous tigers. Some of those doing business have their companies listed on the market, some have become academic leaders, and some have immigrated overseas. All in all, things are going well. This was the norm of that era. After reading the book, you won’t have to worry about many things.

In this era, there are not so many pitfalls, and they are even said to be saturated, but vested interest groups at all levels have been cultivated. Occupying pitfalls is often not necessarily related to the success of studying. For example, it is easier for many children of Beijing Economic and Trade University to find jobs than students from Peking University and Tsinghua University. After all, their parents have extensive social contacts in the capital.

China is very big, but there are not that many pits it can supply. In a centralized and hierarchical government, the level of talent is declining step by step. Except for the first-tier cities, there really are no reliable places for talents from the two schools. Some jobs seem to be very qualified and bring both fame and fortune, but why should you be chosen in turn? The subject of the question was actually given a thumbs up and overestimated his own importance.

To put it bluntly, children from ordinary families who want to stay in Beijing to do scientific research in this era must be prepared to become worker bees before the age of 45. Scientific research is a system with an obvious power structure. The Matthew Effect is obvious. There are people who gain both fame and fortune, but the probability of it being your turn is slim. Although the social attributes are high, they do face a lot of pressure to survive. You can't find another city in the world where housing prices will nearly double from the time you start studying for a PhD to the time you graduate. The years of studying you may never be able to recover these losses financially. So we see two common phenomena: scientific research talents change careers, and scientific research talents choose to immigrate. This is a vicious cycle.

From the perspective of the best interests of the country, I certainly hope that you can frugally and selflessly contribute to the blooming of Malan. However, comparing myself to others, I still recommend that those who don’t have scientific research aspirations change careers as soon as possible, and those who have scientific research aspirations immigrate as soon as possible.
