We often listen to a word that we must read a good book to make more money.From a certain level, reading can indeed help us find a relatively high salary.However, I have seen some Malaysian news recently. Graduation of a master's degree can only get a salary of about RM2,000 (about 582 yuan), and some doctoral students in Taiwan will eventually sell fried chicken steaks.Witness "inflation" or depreciation of the degree?Answer: Yes.
Mainland China is a very obvious example. Unless it is a prestigious school, it can be said to be very difficult.Even if they can employment, salary may not be satisfied with most people.There is something that impressed me very much, that is, the position of the position is clearly marked.A Chinese high -tech company comes to university to recruit scientific and technological positions, and directly indicates the price of each famous university's degree (annual salary, RMB): 100,000 yuan (about S $ 18,700) to 200,000 yuan; master's degree 200,000 to 300,000 yuan; Dr. 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan.
There is a universal phenomenon in mainland China and Taiwan. Many people continue to choose to study master's or doctoral degrees after completing their bachelor's degrees instead of going out to find a job directly.Because there is no advantage in finding a job with a bachelor's diploma, there are many people in the workplace in the workplace in competitive positions.
The example of graduating doctoral students from prestigious schools in Chinese schools is endless.Even the high school propaganda teachers have graduated (such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc.) or what majors to attract more people to register.It can be seen that the inflation of education is quite serious.
In 2020, the crown disease epidemic was outbreak, and the economy exacerbated the employment situation.The government encourages people to continue the further studies of the blog degree in order to alleviate the severe employment situation.This actually exacerbated the inner volume / inflation phenomenon of the later master doctoral graduates looking for a job.
Even the doctors of famous schools such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan, and Transportation may not be able to obtain opportunities for applicants in state -owned enterprises.The Ministry of Personnel will select the best applicants, such as who has published enough or good quality and good quality.Published an academic papers is quite common. It is usually necessary to publish three or four academic papers to be hired. It can be seen that the diploma is degraded in China.
After China's release and control, no expected economic growth rebounded.According to estimates, the growth rate of China's GDP (GDP) can create 10 million jobs every 5 percentage points.However, the recent economic growth is less than 5%, which means that the work created is seriously insufficient; however, there are tens of millions of undergraduates graduated every year in China.Limited demand, the supply of continuous output (labor force) will further depreciate the degree and allow the inflation of the degree into a vicious circle.
Due to the large population and other factors, other countries in Asia have also experienced different degrees of education inflation, but they are not as extreme as China.In our grandfather's generation, due to the scarcity of educational resources and relatively unlucky society, many families face three meals and clothing problems, and few people receive higher education.Being a bachelor's degree is a very amazing person. The degree looks relatively precious and has a high gold content.It is not a difficulty for many people to receive higher education today. Bachelor and even master's degree have been running on the street.As long as there is a "banknote ability", a bachelor's or master's diploma can be obtained at hand.Therefore, it can be said to be more and more difficult for the salary that wants to get a satisfactory from a bachelor's diploma, unless there is an extraordinary ability or experience.The first job often depends on college qualifications or internship experience, but as competition intensifies, this is obviously no advantage.The inflation of the degree may not be more reduced than the price.
