Now when I go out and look left and right, most of the people I can bump into are college students, and I want to find a mechanic? That's even harder! But compared with the current situation of vacant technician positions, it is like hot oil in a cold pot, and you are in a hurry but have nowhere to spill.
Let's talk about this college student first, the data for 2023 is a staggering number - more than 11 million! This means that you have to find suitable positions among the large number of graduates.
But the reality is that it is a small position, and other units may still pick and choose, and they have to ask for 985 and 211 master's students. So what about these ordinary undergraduates? I can only watch those "high" positions being occupied by others.
You may not believe it, but the wages of skilled workers are actually higher than many so-called white-collar occupations, and the job is stable, so you don't have to worry about not being able to go to work tomorrow.
The current situation is that on the one hand, college students cannot find jobs, and on the other hand, there are no people in skilled worker positions. Under such circumstances, both the state and society began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
The education sector has begun to slowly change its concept, and it is no longer simply advocating academic education. Technical education has also been gradually put on the agenda and has begun to be taken seriously.
In the final analysis, we have a lot of college students, but what society needs is skilled talents. Changing the status quo requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. The first is to improve the social status and treatment of skilled workers, so that vocational education can become a high-quality option.
It is also necessary to renew the concept of society, and we cannot always blindly advocate academic education and ignore the importance of skills. The wages of mechanics are actually very good, and the jobs are stable.
Looking at those college students who worry about finding a job every day, this comparison is quite embarrassing. Isn't there a saying that "craftsmen are everywhere, and a high degree of education does not necessarily lead to success".
Although this is straightforward, it shows the realistic side. The importance of skilled workers is becoming more and more prominent, which requires guidance from an early age to change the perception of career choices in society as a whole.
The current situation is that many parents and children choose a career path with university as the first choice, and often dismiss vocational education as a technician.
