After a hard time reading for more than a dozen years, I finally graduated. Students who have long been eager to graduate to achieve economic independence must always experience it, only to discover that reality is not simply based on “shaping hair into an adult.”

Dust graduated from the journalism department of a general university in June this year. Now he works as a photographer in a photo studio. He goes to work at 10 in the morning and gets off work at 7:00 in the evening. This is a new job she just found not long ago. .
As a native of Yunnan, after graduation, Dust did not think about going to the big cities, nor did he choose to go back to his hometown – “The first is that my boyfriend is going to school in Kunming; the second is that the home is too small, I want to be young.” It’s awkward outside. “Leaving in Kunming, there is no pressure from a big city, and there is no occlusion in a small city, which will make her life comfortable and facilitate her “economic independence”.
How much is economic independence? Dust has calculated an account for himself, renting a house in Kunming 15 per monthAround 00 yuan, the living expenses are about 2,000 yuan per month. Counting transportation expenses and other expenses, the monthly salary is at least 4,000 yuan. She set the target salary for the job search to 5,000 yuan, so that there are still some balances every month.
Like many of my classmates, Dust is also actively involved in the job search. Just entering the senior year, he began to look for work: Civil servants, institutions, teachers, and double-elections did not fall.
When the autumn move last year, Kunming was a sunny day, the ultraviolet rays in the sun, and the skin of the sun was sore. Dust and classmates with a thick resume squeezing in the crowd of the double-choice. In the beginning, if you see the company you like, you will vote for it. When you see the company that meets the requirements, you will vote. “It’s all printed, I can’t bring it back.” This is the consensus of many students. “The company that wants to go doesn’t want me. At first glance, the company that is flickering is eager to call me to work.” This situation, and the news reported ” Students are difficult to find employment, and it is very difficult for companies to recruit people.
After each interview, the expectations of salary in the dust will drop. Near graduation, she lowered the initial monthly salary of 5,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan: “If you are low, you will not have enough living expenses.”
Even so, she still did not find a satisfactory job, and loss and anxiety followed. In the eyes of others, the conditions of the dust are good: everything is good, it is an excellent class cadre, and the results are among the best. It is also a rare classmate who passes the English level 6 and has good professional skills. She also feels herself. Not bad.”
A month before the forced departure from school, a teacher from the college called her. A provincial state-owned enterprise had to recruit comprehensive management personnel. The salary was not high, but after all, it was a state-owned enterprise and it was guaranteed. Dust decided not to pick, she wanted a job too much, accurately said that she wants economic independence.
“My parents have raised themselves for so many years, and they will definitely not be able to ask for money from them.” Yang Chen said, “It’s cool to spend money on your own.”
Although I vowed not to ask for money at home, she wanted to cry a few times when renting a house. “To pay annually, at least half a year.”
In the end, she still opened her mouth to the house.

The dust has been in the state-owned enterprises for two and a half months and was defeated by reality. These two and a half months have also transformed her from a imaginative college graduate into a “social person” who is willing to accept reality.
After entering the state-owned enterprise, the dust was distributed to the group headquarters. “Began to do party building, and later transferred to do manpower, but also to write articles, take pictures, maintain public numbers, prepare for meetings, buy insurance for employees, recruit, etc.” Although the work is mixed, she feels that the working atmosphere is very good. Work is also very easy, commuting to work every day and lunch break. The most important thing is that the seniors admire her, so it is very pleasant to start the dust.
Dragon Boat Festival, the group did not treat the newcomer who had just worked for a week as an outsider, and distributed the same gift as the old staff.
However, Life is always unsatisfactory. Soon, the dust was transferred to the branch to do human resources. “Working is a little hard work, and the boss is not very reasonable.”
In the first month, the dust received a salary of 1,250 yuan, and the second month received 1,500 yuan. When interviewing, HR promised her.The 3,500 yuan is a far cry. Since the transfer to the branch office, the dust has been inexhaustible, and the most important thing is to take the wages of the food, and only pay the rent.
One heart only thought that the dust of “economic independence” was defeated in the face of reality, and she decided to leave after thinking about it.
After resigning, the dust is living in anxiety every day, watching the flower money owe more and more, and the next job has not yet settled, she began to doubt herself, and sometimes even felt naked The words are too naive; sometimes she feels that her abilities are problematic…

Like the dust, Xiaoning wants to hurry to be economically independent when he is about to graduate. “University graduates are already in their twenties. They are adults. If they are not financially independent, the university will read it.”
This girl with a quiet appearance is very stubborn in her heart. She insisted on being a real estate agent after graduation. The reason she stated to everyone is “I want to exercise myself.” But the friends around me know that everyone else is raising strengths and avoiding weaknesses, but she is just the opposite. Even my colleague asked: “It is a pity that you are an undergraduate to do this. This is all we have not read the book.” She is the only undergraduate graduate of the whole company – this is her only pride as a newcomer. Capital.
In the first half of the career, Xiaoning is full of passion, such as playing chicken blood. “I am very touched, I can feel that my colleagues are helping me in good faith.” According to the company’s regulations, there are two salary models, the first basic salary is 2,000 yuan, the commission is 15%, the other is no bottom salary, the commission is 60. %, she chose the former.
She has always believed that as long as she works hard, she can do her job well. After the business is familiar with it, she can get tens of thousands of salary every month like some colleagues. “A colleague has taken 80,000 a month.” These legendary stories are widely circulated in the industry, inspiring a group of young intermediaries, including Xiaoning.
But they don’t seem to understand, the legend can look up, but it’s hard to imitate.
In the first month, Xiaoning opened two lists of renting houses, with hundreds of commissions. “At that time I felt that I could do it.” But the list of renting a house is relatively small. She also looks at the sales list that her colleagues have opened, but she is lucky not to fall on her. In the next few months, her performance was almost zero.
But in Xiaoning, I don’t have to rent a house myself, and I’m crowded with relatives who are far away from the company.
