Should I take the postgraduate exam in history?

First of all, you have to understand what your purpose is. Postgraduate entrance examination or employment? Indeed, since ten years ago, it has been difficult for history students to find jobs. I warn you, if you are going to graduate school for employment, you might as well start looking for a job now, hone yourself and learn more skills or methods to do a good job.

Second, if you want to go to graduate school, there are three things to remember: being admitted to a prestigious school; Studying for a doctorate; A mentor.

Entered the history department ten years ago, and the school ranked among the top ten famous schools. The history department is also a national first-class discipline. I saw a friend who told you that you could stay in school, knowing that it was a kind friend who didn't know the history major. The doctor in the history department of my school is no longer needed, but only introduces talents. My home is in Shandong, and even schools like Yantai Normal University and Zaozhuang College recruited history teachers as early as five years ago, as long as they were doctors.

1. The school should be second-rate or above, and the strength of the history department should be first-class. In addition to the top ten universities, the history departments of Beijing Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University, East China Normal University, Sichuan University, South China Normal University and Xiamen University are OK.

If you want to go to graduate school, you must plan to finish your doctorate in one breath. You should understand how many graduate students and doctors majoring in history will be added every night in a year. Wave after wave, graduates will depreciate if they don't step up their studies. If you have a master's degree, you can go to some decent high schools at most. After finishing my Ph.D. in the top ten university history departments, I can at least be sure to return to my current school to teach. Remember, it will be five years by the time you finish reading it.

3. Find a good tutor. Must have a certain influence and contacts in the professional field. Whether many doctoral students can stay in school depends mainly on whether they have chosen the right tutor from the beginning. A super tutor can force the whole history department to give in. This is a precedent in the history department of our school. Of course, this teacher is also recognized as one of the four new tutors in the history circle. The so-called new is corresponding to the four famous teachers in the Republic of China. I am very lucky. I won one that year, and now I have won another.

Third, the overall employment trend of history department is roughly three kinds: middle school teachers, university teachers and others. Among my classmates, undergraduate students come out to do foreign trade, do archives, take an examination of civil servants, and have everything. Better graduate students are middle school teachers in coastal areas. The employment situation of doctoral students is also extremely pessimistic.

So, my advice to you is:

First, employment, learning skills. Of course, you rarely have the opportunity to apply your professional knowledge directly.

Second, study for a doctorate. Then go to the university to be a teacher.

I'd like to remind you that some graduate students majoring in literature and history change after two years. If they can finish their studies in two years, why should they study for three years?
