Postgraduate study is an pursuit, not an answer to other things.

Editor’s note: This article is from WeChat public account “Spenser” (ID:spenserandhk) author: Elliot.

A few days ago, I attended the opening meeting of the company’s overseas projects.

After the meeting, the company’s senior intern designer secretly pulled me aside and told me that he would resign this month and take off the postgraduate exam at the end of the year.

After I heard this news, I was actually very sad. After all, he joined the company from his freshman year. He has been very good during the period, and his income is higher than that of the same-age interns. He can immediately turn positive, and the result will be Leave the team.

I looked at his sincere eyes and asked him: “What is your postgraduate exam?”

He told me that I feel that the social pressure is too great now. I want to stay in school for two more years and improve my education. This may lead to better opportunities in the future.

So today, I want to talk about my views on postgraduate research.

1, Don’t study for delay in finding a job

In 2018, the number of undergraduate graduates in China reached 7.53 million, corresponding to 600,000 graduate graduates.

Under the background of university enrollment, more and more students began to take the postgraduate examination as a way to avoid work.

Your so-called postgraduate study is just an escape

After work, I watched the intern who was going to the postgraduate exam to leave the company with his own box and remembered another little colleague two years ago.

It was probably more than three years ago, when our company was still small, and there was only one colleague in the operation group.

Everything is fairly smooth, and everyone recognizes him.

But at the end of the year, he thought the company was growing too fast and his pressure was getting bigger. He wants to go back to school for postgraduate study and stay in school for another two years.

The leadership did not retain.

Before leaving the job, he was very responsible and recommended us a teacher to take over his previous work.

He was admitted to his favorite 211 college.

But everyone should know that work stress will not fade because you read the book for two or three years.

This spring, he started looking for a job again.

After allPreviously, there was a lot of experience in Beishangguang, but everyone knows that the situation is not good, and sometimes it is reflected in many opportunities, but the salary is not good.

Helpless, he thought of returning to our team after graduation this year.

It’s very dramatic. On the day of the interview, sitting in the interview with him is the younger brother he recommended.

The younger brother has become the operations manager of our company.

Sometimes, the mature advantage that you think may be unconsciously become an age disadvantage.

The age is not worth the money, even the experience is not valuable, and the valuable vertical experience is the core wealth.

Or else just give the company a reason to fire you.

Our HR once told me that our small and micro enterprises should be extra cautious about the graduate students of the 985 colleges. Because if they are good enough, they should have been dug up by the big factory before they graduated.

Everyone should never think that they have been through the four years, and the seniors have tried hard to get a postgraduate from a good school, and then they have a bright future.

No company will want a “student” who has no social experience.

Business is not a school.

2, There is no “standard process” in life, Society does not have “standard answer”

Everyone should know the story of Bill Gates’s entrepreneurship from Harvard.

Afterwards, someone asked Bill Gates: Everyone knows that you drop out of school to start a business because you realize that computer revolution is starting, but if you insist on studying at Harvard, the situation may be very different.

Bill Gates replied:

If I continue to study, I can really make Microsoft take a better path, but that opportunity does not belong to me.

And although I dropped out of Harvard, I have never stopped studying and have been making up for the loss of my school dropout.

At the same time, Bill Gates also said: If his daughter re-enters the old road of dropping out of school, he will not hesitate to support.

Because even if the company is not successful at the end, it can still return to school. The risk in this process is very low.

I want to tell you through this example that there is no “standard process” in life.

I know a lot of successful people, they will go to an MBA or EMBA after a successful career. You can learn knowledge there and make high-end contacts.

Many people think that people should graduate from college and take the time to continue their studies and go to graduate school.

But in fact, in the process of life, learning is accompanied by life, not by school.

People who have studied after work know more about what they need.

The society will never tell you the solutionThe “standard answer” of the matter is because there is always a “better solution”.

Poster is a quest, not an answer to other things.

3, Yesterday’s method can’t solve tomorrow’s problem

A lot of people think about it when they are frustrated or not going well, so it is better to go to a degree.

That’s because we are only familiar with this model of getting along with the world from small to large.

Why do our parents always feel that the best way out is to study and test civil servants?

Because they tried to solve the problems you encountered today with the methodology of 20 years ago.

In the late 19th century, when electricity was about to replace kerosene lamps, Rockefeller’s standard oil company was hit hard because his family relied mainly on oil from kerosene lamps to make money.

When Rockefeller discovered that he could not stop the development of the power industry, he aimed at a by-product of refining. For years, it was only treated as toxic waste – gasoline.

Rockefeller firmly believes that gasoline has great potential, so he hired a group of scientists to study the use of this toxic substance, and finally found that gasoline is the most ideal fuel for internal combustion engines.

Standard oil companies have also escaped the elimination of the era.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said:

“The founders of big companies, if they encounter difficulties, they will find their own way and will not use a textbook approach to solve the problem. You will try something new because you believe it will work.” p>

People can never use only one model to deal with all the problems of life.

Hiking on campus is very happy,

But if you have been hiding for a long time,

It may take a lifetime to “flowers in the greenhouse.”
