The college entrance examination is a defining moment in the lives of many students, and this selection process shapes the beginning of their careers. For the vast majority of children from ordinary families, this is almost one of the most important opportunities.
The results of the gaokao are not determined by the scores alone. There is a saying that "three points for the test, seven points for the report", even if the score is high, if you can't use it effectively, and you choose a major that is not suitable, it may be difficult to have a good development after graduation.
Medicine and education are seen by the average student as the two preferred directions to achieve "ascension". The vast majority of students who take the college entrance examination every year come from ordinary families. Some well-known educators have emphasized that medicine and education majors are the first choice for ordinary students to pursue "ascension".
To become a doctor or teacher, the most important thing is to have a strong academic degree and professional ability. Even if the average student does not have the support of an extensive family background, as long as they have good grades and are willing to put in the effort, they still have a chance to succeed.
Once you have successfully entered the industry, this not only means that you can earn a relatively stable income, but also enjoy a higher status in society than many other professions. As a result, they are considered the best career path, and it's no wonder they've been consistently favored.
In fact, there are quite a lot of differences in family conditions among "ordinary students", and there is now a popular term called "three-no family". For these students from poor families, they need to be more cautious when choosing a major.
When choosing whether to study medicine or a normal major, the suggestions of the college entrance examination candidates who came from the past were surprisingly consistent.
Before entering university, many students may mistakenly think that academic excellence means a bright future. However, the reality of graduation has made people generally realize that whether or not they can get the "support" of their families often determines different outcomes when they apply for a job.
College entrance examination candidates in the "three-no-family" are relatively lacking in terms of economy, network resources and family background, and need to rely more on themselves when studying and working.
Faced with the choice of studying medicine or studying normal, it is necessary for the college entrance examination candidates with "three nos" to weigh carefully. Some of the people who have come here have shared their experiences and have given a surprisingly unanimous answer: choose a teaching major.
First of all, the most obvious reason is that the medical profession has a longer duration of study and a higher barrier to entry. Even if candidates can only reach the college level and graduate in three years, they are likely to face the dilemma of choosing a new career due to insufficient academic qualifications.
In contrast, undergraduate medical education, such as clinical medicine, medical imaging, stomatology, etc., usually requires a five-year study period. Moreover, if you want to enter a regular public hospital, you basically need to take the postgraduate entrance examination, which is difficult for students with no family to bear in terms of study costs.
In addition, it may be difficult for medical students to earn a significant income during their internships, and some parents are too simplistic to think that obtaining a degree is enough, not realizing that in some hospitals, even nursing students who want to do internships need to pay a management fee.
Since internship experience is crucial for future contract with a formal employer, there are many medical students competing in each city, and students from three-no families often have more limited opportunities.
Parents are investing in the cost of learning, and candidates are putting more time and effort into it. If they end up not being able to work in a regular workplace, it will be worse for families who are not wealthy in the first place, and parents and students may feel embarrassed.
Therefore, most experienced people are more inclined to support students from three-no families to choose to study teacher training majors, and their study duration is comparable to that of general majors. At the same time, even if the number of graduates who take the teaching exam increases, there are still greater employment opportunities.
Even if the industry threshold is raised, graduates can choose to "take a step back", for example, those who originally planned to teach high school can consider applying for a job in elementary or junior high school. In addition, there are advantages such as winter and summer vacations, and the possibility of changing careers is lower than that of medical students.
When making a choice of major, it is necessary to take into account family conditions, as majors with high cost of study do not necessarily bring more rewards.
Leaving aside the adage that "choice is more important than effort" is entirely accurate, it underscores the importance of making the right decisions to achieve greater value for students.
In the author's view, the college entrance examination is not a separate individual event, and the admission results, the choice of future universities, and the quality of career development all require the support and assistance of all family members.
For most families, there are some limitations in thinking and analysis, and their support for students academically and professionally is relatively limited, which means that the cost of trial and error can be high.
Therefore, candidates and parents need to consider more comprehensively, and comprehensively consider the cost of learning and the "rate of return" after graduation before choosing a major. Majors with high costs of study are not necessarily more rewarding, and high-paying jobs may only be available to a very small number of graduates.
