Which is the most important, ability or diploma?

Generally speaking, ability and diploma are very important. If we have to ask which is more important, we should discuss it in detail. Which is more important is closely related to the characteristics of the times, industry, family background and age.

Next, I will elaborate on these four main aspects respectively:

First, the influence of the characteristics of the times.

Different times have different characteristics, and people in different times also have different social responsibilities.

For example, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, social infrastructure construction was urgently needed. For most people, education is not important. At that time, thousands of industrial and agricultural jobs in Qian Qian needed manpower. What is most needed at this time is a large number of people who have the ability to work. Most of these jobs are very simple and basic manual jobs, and they can be competent for the actual production experience handed down from the previous generation. At this time, most of the division of labor does not require high ability.

For another example, during the national war, academic qualifications were even less important. The most important thing is to mobilize all manpower and material resources to win the war. Don't say that adults need to join the army to fight and support the country. Even school-age children should take an active part as long as they can help. At this time, they can't even go to school. How can they have a degree? Numerous anti-Japanese heroes emerged in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, including 12-year-old hero Hai Wa, 13-year-old cowboy Wang Erxiao, 12-year-old hero Yulai who was good at swimming and diving, and so on. Their skills are all learned from life, and their abilities are all obtained from repeated anti-Japanese practices. They have almost no academic qualifications, but they have made due contributions to the country with their own abilities and even sacrificed their precious lives.

Second, the influence of industry characteristics.

Different industries have different requirements for academic qualifications and abilities.

For positions in industries within the national system, such as military officers, civil servants, central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, institutions, etc. There are still certain requirements for academic qualifications. In addition to academic qualifications as the basic standard, the state should also hold an examination before entering the job to comprehensively judge whether a person is qualified for the basic work within the system.

For some large multinational private enterprises and large domestic private enterprises, there are also certain requirements for academic qualifications. Because of the fierce competition in the domestic and even the world industry environment, these enterprises naturally require the comprehensive ability of talents. On the other hand, because the number of job seekers far exceeds the number of positions, in order to reduce the time cost of recruitment, there has been a phenomenon that resumes are screened by academic qualifications and graduates from prestigious schools are preferred.

For some basic industries in society that are not within the system, the requirements for academic qualifications are not so harsh. For example, if you want to be a senior chef in a certain cuisine, you can start working after graduating from a vocational high school at the age of 65,438+08. After 65,438+00 years of deep cultivation in a certain cuisine, by the age of 28, you can make small achievements, and your income level will not be lower than that of a doctor who just graduated, but will be much higher than that of a doctor.

Third, the influence of family background.

Different family backgrounds will also have a great influence on a person's career.

On the one hand, parents' concept of workplace exerts a subtle influence on the family. Different families, different parents and children's future career plans will be subtly passed on to children from their daily words and deeds. For example, both parents have received a good education, and naturally hope that their children will become knowledgeable and educated people in the future, and become doctors, lawyers, teachers and senior engineers. These industries all have some basic requirements for academic qualifications, so the importance of academic qualifications is self-evident.

On the other hand, the parents' occupation and the influence of the existing industry in the family. It is easy for us to find that many people are engaged in the same industry as their parents, or many people directly inherit the existing industries (companies, stores, etc.). ) at home. For example, many parents of acrobats are acrobats, and many parents of doctors used to be doctors. In addition, many companies or small shops are jointly run by parents and children. When the parents are old, the children will inherit the family business completely. Therefore, for some basic technical jobs that are not in the system, or for children (women) to inherit their father's (mother's) career, academic qualifications may seem less important.

Fourth, the influence of age.

At different ages, the importance of academic qualifications will vary greatly.

Although education is an important parameter and label for society to know a person quickly, many times people say that education is very important, but it is actually only for young people who have just stepped into society. Yes, young people who have just left school and entered the society for job hunting really need academic qualifications to let employers know themselves quickly. At this time, education may be more important in some industries.

But with the passage of time, the growth of age and the extension of working years, everyone will have other new parameters and labels, which can be quickly recognized and understood by people around them. For example, a chef who has won many awards and worked for many years, a novelist who has written hundreds of works, a municipal backbone teacher with 10 years of teaching experience, and a professional manager who leads a team in a well-known multinational private enterprise and has many successful projects, at this time, their academic qualifications are just a thing of the past and basically have no more value.

Because it is not uncommon to change jobs and job-hopping in this new era, for these people, the old parameter of academic qualifications obtained from schools may not be as good as the new parameter of industry achievements obtained by ability.

In short, academic qualifications and industry achievements are branches and leaves, and ability is fundamental. With the root of ability, even if you don't have the opportunity to receive higher education when you are young, you will have the opportunity to constantly reflect, learn and make progress through social practice at work, and finally make some achievements in the industry. Education, only in a specific background of the times, family background, industry and age, has a certain short-term effect, and its validity period is very short, and only ability has a longer shelf life.

What is ability? The material of ability comes from the dribs and drabs of daily life and social production practice, but the formation of ability needs to be constantly reflected and sorted out in the mind to form its own ideological system and framework. These ideological systems that can be used to guide practical behavior are your abilities.

Life is a long-distance race, and education is only a small achievement in life at most. Only by constantly improving their comprehensive ability can we go more steadily, further and longer.
