What do you think of Peking University graduates selling pork?

In 2000, an undergraduate named Lu Mou from the Chinese Department of Peking University "joined the army" after graduation. He used a cutting knife to sell pork. After being hyped by the media, it triggered a revolution in the value of life in the whole society. The discussion has yet to be resolved.

Xiao Lu was born at the right time. Nowadays, apart from killing people with a knife, he may not be able to attract people's attention no matter how much pork he sells. Because an army of pork sellers with higher education and staggering numbers is quietly gathering in South China. As the saying goes, counting romantic figures depends on the present.

Recently, Tiandi Food Group, known as the "Guangzhou Pork King", is recruiting talents from the whole society: annual salary is 80,000-100,000, only graduate students are recruited, no restriction on major, no restriction on gender, occupation: sales Pork, recruitment quota: 30 people. As a result, 1,300 graduate students of various types came. The students applying this time come from well-known universities such as the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, South China Institute of Technology, South China Normal University, and Jinan University. Their majors range from all-inclusive, including the relatively unpopular marine major. And most of the applicants are class cadres, chairman of the graduate student union, or those with the top five academic scores.

The direct feeling of the chairman of this company is: "It seems that the impact of the financial crisis on the employment of college students is indeed not small."

This is true. It is understood that the severe employment situation has caused many fresh graduates to lower their salary expectations. A survey shows that the original expected salary level of graduate students in Guangzhou was 5,000-6,000 yuan, but now most of them have lowered their expectations to 3,000-4,000 yuan. The starting annual salary of 80,000-100,000 yuan offered by Tiandi Food Group this time clearly exceeded expectations. In ancient times, there were only a few literati and poets who could utter Tao Yuanming's lofty saying of "not giving up for five pecks of rice." What's more, our modern society advocates the nobility of the profession. Selling pork by graduate students may also improve the service level of the entire industry and improve the knowledge structure, thus making it laughable. Ao Global Pork Shop!

While congratulating the overall quality of Chinese pork sellers for their great improvement, the brother suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Think about it, as universities are rapidly expanding their enrollment, undergraduates have gradually fallen into the category of mass education - to put it bluntly, they are becoming less and less valuable. However, although graduate students are also showing a depreciation trend, they are still in the category of elite education. , cultivating a large number of high-level application talents who conform to the trend of the times, have entrepreneurial spirit and innovative ability is its ultimate goal.

Therefore, it is inexplicable that an undergraduate from a prestigious school can sell pork after studying Chinese for four years. Wouldn’t it be surprising if he still sells pork after studying history for another three years? A reasonable explanation is that there has been a serious surplus of talent after the expansion of graduate student enrollment, and the only option is to PK away undergraduates to sell pork.

But the Minister of Education does not agree with this opinion. He said: "After years of hard work, our country's higher education has grown greatly in quantity, but it does not mean that there are more college students. In terms of the needs of socialist modernization, it is still too few."

What harms these graduate students is not the severe employment situation, let alone social needs. It is suspected to be a "syndrome" caused by the lagging development of college-related enrollment, teaching, management and services. Due to the disconnection between some professional structure settings and social needs, the lag in postgraduate training concepts and methods has led to a decline in quality. In the face of the rapid development of society and the evolution of employers' talent consumption concepts, dragon seeds are often sown and fleas are harvested.

Rather than letting the professionals we train who study literature, history, philosophy, mathematics, physics and chemistry rush to sell pork after graduation, it would be better to directly set up a pork selling major in graduate schools of universities - to save employers from complaining about the graduate students' professionalism. If it doesn’t work, on-the-job training is required.
