In today's society, jobs are scarce, countless college students are facing the status quo of being unemployed after graduation, and the old employees in the company are facing the status quo of retiring at the age of 35.
The person we are going to talk about today, he obviously graduated with a master's degree in 985, has a bright resume, and has served as a company executive.
However, when he was 38 years old, he came to the predicament of only more than 100 yuan in his body, and finally could only become one of the tens of millions of "takeaway brothers".
So, who is this person? Why did he play "sparsely" when he had a "good hand"?
Master's degree delivery worker, a new turning point after unemployment
This middle-aged unemployed man is named Chen Tao, and he is a man with great ambitions who has been crushed by reality.
2019 was the hardest year for Chen Tao, when the epidemic broke out, countless small businesses suffered from the catastrophe, and so did Chen Tao's company.
At this time, Chen Tao was already too busy to take care of himself, and it was difficult to maintain the company's operation, so he could only start blindly submitting his resume, hoping that a company could have a suitable position that would allow him to earn some living expenses.
But Chen Tao never thought that he had been in the society for many years, and his education was not too bad, but he couldn't find a job.
Among them, a large part of the reason is that Chen Tao is 35 years old.
The entire working environment has been affected by the pandemic, and the demand for labor has dropped significantly.
There is also a curse in the work circle, which is the "35-year-old curse", and they generally believe that people over the age of 35 have reduced their thinking ability and have difficulty getting their work done.
This has led to the current situation that people like Chen Tao, who already have certain social experience and excellent academic qualifications, cannot find a job.
A 35-year-old man is the pillar of a family, they not only have to take care of the elderly, but also have their own children to raise, and the financial pressure on the family basically falls on the man, and the same is true for Chen Tao.
He came to Beijing far away from his hometown in Sichuan, one is to realize his life ideals, and the other is to earn money to take care of his family, but in the current situation, Chen Tao can't even take care of himself.
Seeing that no one answered the resumes, and the work left him again and again, Chen Tao also became anxious.
Now he can't even pay the rent, and his daily life is difficult to maintain, Chen Tao just wants to find a paid job, and he doesn't care whether the job is in line with his heart.
Just when Chen Tao needed to find a job to make a living, he discovered the delivery man industry, which invested less money and was suitable for people like him who didn't have much money.
Chen Tao didn't bother to think about it, and immediately started to act. In order to save money, Chen Tao found a small house that was only enough to sleep and settle, and spent 700 yuan to rent a battery car for food delivery, and started his own food delivery career.
Due to the epidemic situation, there is a large demand for takeaways, and Chen Tao's salary for delivering takeaways during this period is also considerable, which is at least enough to support his life in Beijing.
It's just that it's hard to deliver takeaways, and it's a trivial matter to be exposed to the wind and sun, and sometimes the urging and difficulty of customers are enough to make Chen Tao uncomfortable for a while.
But these are nothing to Chen Tao, because he can always hear the two words "thank you" during the delivery of takeaways.
The power of these two words is beyond Chen Tao's imagination, and this is the most valuable moment since he entered the society for so many years.
Looking back on the life I have been chasing my dreams in the past, it seems that it is better to deliver food to be happy.
A rising star in literature, a path to growth with character
Speaking of Chen Tao's dream, this has to start from when he was in school.
During his studies, Chen Tao had excellent grades in liberal arts, and what he liked most was to delve into the content and deep meaning of liberal arts.
After that, he entered the city's key high school with the first score in the city in the high school entrance examination and became a top student in the eyes of many people.
The teachers all believe that Chen Tao will definitely be admitted to a first-class university, and the future will be limitless. But they didn't calculate that Chen Tao's literati arrogance would come with in his bones, which affected his education.
If Chen Tao can show his usual level in the college entrance examination, he will definitely be able to get an excellent score and enter a first-class university in one fell swoop.
But when he was taking the exam, he wrote a poem on the answer sheet, which caused the overall score to drop, and the final score only reached the ordinary line.
However, Chen Tao didn't care what school he went to, he just did what he liked to do.
After entering the university, Chen Tao still developed in the direction of literature that he liked.
During this period, Chen Tao's academic performance was very good, and he wrote a book of 200,000 words in addition to studying, which was loved by many people.
A person like Chen Tao, who excels in learning, only needs a little effort to achieve good results that are difficult for others to achieve, such as being admitted to a master's degree in philosophy at a 985 university.
During his master's studies, Chen Tao also did something that made people laugh, that is, he only used a piece of paper to submit a 3,000-word assignment.
Such an attitude made it difficult for the teacher who taught Chen Tao's class at that time to accept, and he directly gave a 59 points.
Few people can understand Chen Tao's behavior, nor can they understand what Chen Tao thinks, but I have to say that Chen Tao is indeed unique.
However, a little thing is not enough to affect Chen Tao to graduate with a master's degree with excellent grades, the year was 2011, and the title of "master's degree graduate of 985 college" can definitely bring Chen Tao an excellent job.
After graduation, Chen Tao went directly to Beijing, when he was young and vigorous, and he wanted to realize the revenge in his heart, he relied on his excellent resume to successfully enter a company as an entertainment reporter.
And this is just the beginning, entertainment reporters are not what Chen Tao wants, he doesn't like entertainment content, and he doesn't like to write some articles about entertainment.
After working for the company for half a year, Chen Tao joined China News Weekly to start his second job.
He is undoubtedly doing some manuscript writing here, but he is involved in the field of literature, which happens to his appetite.
Here, Chen Tao met a lot of literary masters, increased his knowledge, and learned a lot of writing skills.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Tao would take root here, Chen Tao left China News Weekly angrily because of some ideological conflicts.
However, based on Chen Tao's qualifications, it is not difficult to find a job similar to it, but in the end, Chen Tao chose "Southern Weekly", which has a relatively small salary.
Here, Chen Tao has reached unprecedented heights, with a very considerable monthly salary and a house of 80 square meters.
But no one thought that self-media would become an emerging industry, which directly put the paper media into a predicament.
This is also the first crisis that Chen Tao encountered, because the arrogance in his body did not allow him to integrate into the self-media.
In this way, Chen Tao left the industry he was familiar with.
Exploded overnight, and life changed
Chen Tao also thought calmly, he didn't know where he could go to realize his dream and what kind of job he would be able to do after leaving the field he was familiar with.
What is the use of literati arrogance, when life encounters difficulties, Chen Tao can only let go of his literati arrogance.
In order to be able to earn money to support his life, he still entered the self-media industry and began to write something that he was unwilling to write, which was undoubtedly a torture for Chen Tao for a period of time.
This kind of torture is ideological torture, it is quietly changing Chen Tao's thinking, and after Chen Tao found out that something was wrong, he immediately stopped his losses and became a member of the unemployed army again.
"If finding a job doesn't work, then start a business?" Chen Tao heard his friend's words, so he had the idea of starting a business, and the two opened a joint venture.
And just when Chen Tao thought that the company would get better day by day, he had an irreversible conflict with his friends, and in the end he could only break up.
Coupled with the arrival of the epidemic, Chen Tao was caught off guard, and this is why Chen Tao became a delivery person.
And the days of making money from food delivery are not always there, all industries will encounter twists and turns, and Chen Tao once again caught up with the changes in the food delivery market.
During this period, the demand for takeaway surged, and many delivery workers took advantage of their own clubs to make money, but after the opening up, the fact that delivery workers made money quickly spread, and a large number of unemployed people crowded into the delivery market, resulting in the rapid saturation of this market.
Chen Tao's job soon entered the so-called off-season, the system does not send orders every day, and sometimes Chen Tao can't grab an order, if there is no list, it means that Chen Tao has no money to make.
Soon, Chen Tao's monthly delivery money was once again insufficient to cover the money he had to spend every month, and he once again fell into a life where he couldn't afford the rent.
This blow was undoubtedly huge for Chen Tao, at this time he only had more than 100 yuan on his body, and the landlord on the other side was still trying to collect debts.
The pressure hit again, making Chen Tao breathless, he thought about his life late at night, thinking about the changes in the whole society, and there were countless emotions in his heart that were difficult to express.
After hesitating, Chen Tao opened Douyin and recorded a video of himself.
Its content is roughly some of my own thinking, which is clear and decent, which has attracted many people's attention and resonated with many people.
Chen Tao in the video became a topic of discussion overnight, and everyone sighed that the 985 master's graduates should have a better job and life, but in the end they became delivery workers who could not make ends meet.
However, the explosion of this video made Chen Tao, who has thoughts himself, quickly grasp the traffic password, and he took this opportunity to directly start the live broadcast, taking advantage of his popularity to make a wave of money from the media.
It is precisely because of Chen Tao's explosion that more companies and enterprises have noticed him, ironically, no one paid attention to Chen Tao's resume, but now many companies have taken the initiative to find Chen Tao, hoping that he can join their own companies.
And Chen Tao also chooses companies from these companies that have a decent salary and meet his inner needs.
Although Chen Tao is no longer as popular as before, he is still active in self-media, and has become a philosophy teacher in a school to realize his dream.
epilogue
Everyone says that as long as you master the traffic password of self-media, you can open the door to a new world and let more companies know about you, and you can be regarded as having the capital to choose.
But it is not easy to become popular overnight, not everyone has the luck to explode, not everyone has Chen Tao's experience and strong core, and if we want to succeed, in addition to grasping the opportunity, we must also be down-to-earth, step by step.
Maybe everyone will encounter a midlife crisis at one day, but before that day comes, we must be prepared to make our hearts strong to face more challenges and unknowns.
