Is there a big difference in employment between college students and graduate students?

Thank you Wukong for the invitation. The employment differences between undergraduates and graduate students depend on the school and subject. Overall, the difference is really not small.

After 2016, the number of postgraduate applicants continued to increase, reaching more than 2.3 million in 2018. The increase in the number and proportion of undergraduates choosing to study at graduate schools means that many industries are more accepting of graduate students. In fact, the employment advantages of graduate students compared to undergraduates are reflected in salary, talent introduction policies, benefits of public institutions, life expectations, and career planning.

　————Salary————

According to statistics on the starting salary of fresh graduates from colleges and universities in 2017, the starting salary of graduate students in the entire industry is 5,900 yuan, and the starting salary of undergraduates is 5,900 yuan. 1,600 yuan for students. When applying for a job, the general psychological expectation of undergraduate students is about 5,000 yuan, while the psychological expectation of graduate students is 7,000 yuan, which means an annual salary of about 80,000 yuan. Among my juniors and juniors who have graduated in recent years, their annual salary in the first year can reach 80,000 yuan, and they are distributed in cities such as Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan.

　————Talent introduction policy————

Compared with the employment of undergraduate students, the local government will provide a lot of benefits. Taking my city of Changsha as an example, newly settled master's degree students working in Changsha can apply for a house purchase subsidy of 30,000 yuan. At the same time, annual housing and living allowances of RMB 15,000, RMB 10,000, and RMB 6,000 (for a period of 2 years) will be provided to doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students. In terms of household registration points in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, graduate students also have an advantage. For example, in Shanghai, PhDs are 27 points, masters are 24 points, and undergraduates are 21 points. Of course, there are differences in the points of 985 colleges, 211 colleges, and ordinary colleges, which are 15 points respectively. , 12, 8 points.

　————Public institution treatment————

Compared with big cities, there is still a difference in the recognition of graduate students and undergraduate students in municipal and county institutions in remote areas. For example, the period for postgraduate students to become a full-time graduate is half a year, and the salary is at a higher level. When the salary is increased, it will be based on the higher level. Bachelor's degrees require one year to become a full-time student, and the salary is assigned to a lower level. If the salary increases, the salary will increase according to the lower level. What is common is that graduate students may be graded as deputy chief staff member (undergraduate students become staff members after becoming regular), and the three-year study experience of graduate students counts as work experience. Why is it said that there is a chance or possibility? Because when implementing it, it depends on the unit level and the number of positions in the unit. Graduate students in some units only get an extra 200 yuan/yuan, and they are also graded faculty members.

　————Life expectations and career planning————

Graduate studies mainly depend on personal interests and development plans. There is no guarantee that graduate students will be better employed than undergraduates. statement. When many companies are recruiting, many positions clearly require a graduate degree or above. Or, if you want to work as a teacher in a university, the current market situation is that all counselors need a master's degree, and all teaching positions in these two universities require a doctorate.

A master's degree is just a higher platform, and you can choose more directions and opportunities. In the technical stream industry, for subjects that require professional qualification certificates, such as accounting, a certified public accountant with an undergraduate degree is more popular than a graduate degree. In experience-based industries, such as sales, graduate degrees are not advantageous.

Actually, you don’t have to worry about whether you choose to go to graduate school. After working for 2 years, many people find that their abilities in the position are insufficient or their academic qualifications are limited, so they choose to apply for full-time or part-time postgraduate studies to improve themselves.
