Why do master’s and doctoral students gather in counties?

The reason why master’s and doctoral students gather in the county: The main reason is that the county recruits very hard-core people, with more money and good benefits. Compared with first-tier cities, the employment pressure is smaller, and the talent service atmosphere is good. This is the development of the county and the "Two-way rush" for talent employment.

Small counties have made their “truck cards” clear, such as salary benefits, housing subsidies, and living allowances, and some benefits are comparable to those in first-tier cities.

Judging from the recruitment and admission situation of county public institutions, many master's and doctoral graduates from prestigious universities are on the list, and even "gathered" and returned to a small number of counties due to high salaries and high benefits. In some counties, under the requirement of high academic qualifications, no one applied for some positions. The recruitment documents stipulate that if the number of applicants does not reach the planned number, appropriate adjustments or reductions will be made, or the academic requirements will be lowered.

In the past, big cities had a "siphon effect" on talents due to their advantages in location, salary and benefits, education and medical care, while small counties found it difficult to retain people. Nowadays, with the development of urbanization and higher education, small counties also hope to have the courage to compete with big cities for talents. Relatively speaking, the recruitment requirement of high academic qualifications is more conducive to avoiding "carrot recruitment" of "connected households" in small counties and truly attracting talents.

Employment Advantages of Small Counties

Nowadays, the enrollment of graduate students is greatly expanded, but in terms of employment, there are only so many positions in the big city system, and it is impossible to increase significantly. Therefore, it is now common for masters to work at the county level, and competition is fierce.

The number of postgraduate students has increased significantly in recent years, but the positions that were originally only qualified for master's and doctorate degrees have not changed much, so many postgraduate students have to find another way out. In the past, the jobs for masters and doctoral students were all scientific research and high-end jobs. Now there are more and more masters and doctoral students. In the past, positions and occupations that were not suitable for masters and doctoral students have become their choice. This is the inevitable development of society.

Masters and PhD students also hope to have higher incomes, more decent positions, and realize social value. When some counties can provide these conditions, it is normal for them to apply for jobs.
