Working for several years, education is not important. Lies in the workplace

A few years ago, the latest versions of various "reading uselessness" in Jianghu became popular again.

The most common version is that after working for several years, employers no longer value the qualifications of candidates, no longer cling to the origins of prestigious schools, but choose the best candidates according to their abilities. Such stories or jokes are widely interspersed in various chicken soup abstracts.

The authors of chicken soup have painted a grand blueprint of careers and dreams for those with low academic qualifications, trying to convince everyone that students from social universities and prestigious schools are equal in employment opportunities. There is no discrimination in academic qualifications.

However, it is a pity that no matter what they say, they still can't change the deep-rooted academic complex between HR and interviewers-a reality that most school scum don't want to admit is that the invisible "academic contempt chain" will always exist widely in resume screening, qualification approval and promotion.

Even in recent years, there is a growing trend.

There was a time when "prestigious students" were very unpopular in the mainstream public opinion in the workplace. It is almost synonymous with "high scores and low abilities" and "high eyes and low skills".

If you are keen on reading popular articles in your circle of friends, then you will find that "prestigious schools" not only have no aura, but also become a disadvantage in job hunting; It doesn't matter if you have no education or diploma. As long as the number of years of "work experience" on the resume is greater than zero, it seems that there is capital to despise the zero-experience elite students in the job search circle.

For a time, the "academic contempt chain" in public opinion has actually been upside down. For the sake of employment opportunities, graduates from social universities seem to be hanging on graduates from Tsinghua Peking University.

However, the hot articles in the circle of friends are far from the real job-hunting environment in reality.

Look at the top 500 enterprises that only go to 985/2 1 1 to hold campus job fairs; Look at those HR, you can easily throw the resumes of three school graduates into the wastebasket; Look at the recruitment and recruitment conditions limited to "bachelor degree or above" ... you will find that this society is full of malice to those with low academic qualifications.

Slag students wander in the cramped job search space, and it is difficult to find a few news articles such as "Xueba works for slag" and "The top student in the college entrance examination sells pork" from the portal website, which has become the spiritual pillar to support their world outlook and the talk material that will always be on their lips.

Scum can only find psychological balance from the lonely experience of individual schoolmasters exaggerated by the media.

They muttered: "I graduated from a social university and have experience;" Haha, what will those famous students do except study to death! "

Indeed, in the workplace, the only possible competitive advantage for people with low academic qualifications is "experience" compared with those with high academic qualifications.

However, can the advantage of "experience" really last?

In fact, many jobs only need one or two years of experience, and they can be skilled and competent. After that, the subsequent increase in qualifications does not naturally lead to the increase in skills. It is more likely that they will repeat their work according to their previous experience. ...

Just like some poisoned chicken soup wrote before: what you call "ten years' experience" is actually just "one year's experience has been used repeatedly for ten years"

Having entered the period of job burnout, without the support of excellent academic qualifications, how can veterans compete with famous graduates who are better than themselves in physical strength, intelligence and energy for a long time only by relying on their early advantages and familiarity with basic work skills and enterprise processes?

A senior HR once said: "I used to think that there is no qualitative difference between famous students (especially 985) and employees with ordinary education. I thought their abilities would approach with time, but in fact, I found that this is not the case at all-famous students are better than non-famous students in learning efficiency, work understanding and advanced skills. "

"The' experience gap' between novices and experienced workers in many positions can often be completely bridged within six months to one year. At present, employers are unlikely to use the phrase' no experience' to rashly reject outstanding fresh graduates. "

As two chips in job hunting, "education" and "experience" are undergoing subtle changes in the minds of employers. In the past, "academic advantage" was only considered as a stepping stone in the early career. Now, the label effect of "educational background" is probably going to run through life-

If everyone is a graduate student from a prestigious school, priority will be given to "first degree" (generally referring to undergraduate); The same job performance, promotion opportunities will give priority to those who are from famous schools; Urban household registration naturalization, "bachelor degree or above" gives priority to extra points, and also receives "talent subsidy" according to the level of education;

Guangzhou No.1 Primary School even needs to "test parents" when enrolling students, requiring that "both parents have bachelor degree or above". ...

In addition, the connections and resources attached to the "aura of prestigious schools" are equally strong. On major life issues such as children's enrollment, house purchase, household registration and medical care. Graduates from prestigious schools can often ask "alumni" to help solve them with a phone call; There are too many intangible assets brought by "prestigious schools" ...

The ruthless reality is hurting the face of the advocate of "the uselessness of academic qualifications" again and again.

And the "academic uselessness theorists" who flew with me were all "miserable champions"

About ten years ago, public opinion began to exaggerate that the top student in the college entrance examination "failed to achieve the expected results", wrote all kinds of articles that "hurt Zhong Yong" and slapped China's exam-oriented education.

However, many people have overlooked a problem-the bottom line of the champion who is "down and out" is usually much higher than that of ordinary people.

Most of the top candidates in provincial and municipal college entrance examinations failed to become the world's top academic bulls and scientific research gods, but many eventually became corporate executives, county and city officials and engineers with the highest titles! 99% of these top scholars have achieved career achievements far beyond the ordinary middle class.

It is not a fair comparison to evaluate the "failure" of N provincial and municipal champions in a year by taking the world-class revolutionary achievements that may not produce one in N years as the yardstick.

Moreover, even if the top students really "fail", the problem is not "academic qualifications are useless", because low academic qualifications and embarrassing situations are the most common and prone events in the workplace.

Of course, in reality, we can indeed see some people with low academic qualifications. Through personal struggle, intergenerational inheritance, nepotism or luck, he finally achieved wealth and status far higher than his academic achievements.

However, the success of these small probabilities will never happen to those who are keen to spread the theory of "the futility of reading".

If the disadvantage of academic qualifications has become a fait accompli, the only way to remedy and catch up is lifelong learning, lifelong cultivation of core competitiveness, and waiting for luck on the basis of self-efforts.

God will only reward those who actively help themselves, and will not save those who only complain about the world.
