Yesterday, I saw an article on a platform, which probably mentioned that in recent years, many people who have graduated from undergraduates, and those who are in their thirties choose to repeat their undergraduates. And this phenomenon has also caused a certain amount of discussion, and many readers have come up with different interpretations of this phenomenon according to different perspectives.
1. University Hollow
I believe that from the mainstream point of view, most people choose to study for undergraduate purposes for employment - of course, this morning, a reader left a message to this editor, saying that he thinks the purpose of university education is quality education. Of course, from a literal understanding, there seems to be nothing wrong with this kind of rhetoric, but from a practical point of view, behind this kind of rhetoric is often based on the reality that many parents of the bottom group spend huge amounts of wealth for their children to go to college, only to find that they are unemployed after graduation, and they have not learned real talents at all- In other words, spending money to buy a worthless diploma, but it is very difficult to expect to use this worthless diploma to get back the investment money of the mixed diploma, so many parents are unwilling to face such a situation, but they feel helpless, so they have to deceive themselves and declare: studying in college is not for employment, but for quality improvement.
At least the current education model does not have this function - because many parents have said very frankly: quality or something, artistic cultivation or something, the college entrance examination is not examined, so there is no need to pay attention to it. In fact, from the perspective of the college entrance examination to raise the score, there is really nothing wrong with this statement - the college entrance examination is originally about the ability to do questions, and the actual cultural literacy, scientific literacy, moral level, and artistic literacy have nothing to do with it. For many college entrance examination candidates, what they know is how to do the questions on the exercises, that's all. Besides, there are now male college students who commit the crime of "aiding and abetting" because they take advantage of small advantages, and female college students who become juniors abound.
Those who choose to re-study for undergraduate after graduation are nothing more than because the university education is too empty, so there is no real talent after graduation, so they choose to re-study for undergraduate.
2. Path dependence
Then there's the issue of path dependencies.
Many people's concept of future is limited to going to college, then looking for a job and sitting in an office. But in fact, this idea is out of place in the 2020s - you know, every year fresh graduates, full-time undergraduates + full-time junior colleges, there are more than 10 million, excluding the general junior college students, there are also millions of undergraduates - of course, many undergraduates are ashamed to say that after all, the undergraduate rate accounts for 20% of their peers, so they are very expensive, but the absolute number of millions of undergraduates every year has made the society not have so many suitable positions to solve their employment problems.
Many undergraduates face the embarrassment of being unemployed after graduation, and the only other solution for this helplessness is path dependence - that is, repeating undergraduates.
So for this phenomenon, many people think that this is actually an escapist option. After all, after graduating from undergraduate, you have to think about a new way out, and it is impossible to hide on campus for the rest of your life.
3. Restart your life?
The group of people in their thirties who repeat their undergraduate studies can actually be divided into two parts.
For example, around 2022, there will be undergraduates from Chongqing University, who will re-study for a junior college for many years after graduation, on the grounds that there is a clinic at home, so if you want to take over, you have to study a medical college and then take the license. In fact, in this case, it is indeed necessary to re-take the college entrance examination.
The other is simply that his major is not easy to mix in society, so he is in his thirties and re-studies for undergraduate. But in fact, this is also the point of no return: if there is no industrial support and resource support, in this case, after graduation, as a middle-aged novice, to compete for jobs with young fresh graduates?
