Why do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination? -analysis of motivation for postgraduate entrance examination

A large number of data show that the number of postgraduate entrance examinations has been increasing in recent years, and the motives for postgraduate entrance examinations are different. According to different motivations, students who are most likely to give up halfway are divided into six schools:

Graduate school for the blind

Students in this school occupy most of the postgraduate entrance examination crowd. They feel that "postgraduate entrance examination" has become a kind of "popularity". When they see others taking the postgraduate entrance examination, they decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination themselves, and they don't want to be left behind! They have a strong herd mentality and think that most people will not do anything wrong. They have never thought about why they want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The typical psychology is "others take the exam, I also take the exam, I do the best, but I can't fail"; The typical behavior is that someone else buys a book for the postgraduate entrance examination. He turns around and says, "I'm taking the postgraduate entrance examination, too. Please bring me one ..."

Escape from school

Some students go to school early, and when they graduate from college, they still think they are naive "little girls" and "little boys". They don't want to live a nine-to-five working life. You talk to him about their future development, and he sings "I don't want to grow up." . 。” They haven't found a suitable job when they graduate, but they don't want to stay at home and chew on their old money in the future, thinking it's a waste of time anyway.

Some students are actually quite capable, and they may not be able to find a job if they really work hard. However, because they have never really come into contact with society during their study, they are completely unfamiliar with the "workplace", feel strange and afraid of the process of finding a job, do not know how to find a job, and are afraid of finding a job. They feel nervous and scared at the thought of looking for a job. There are also some students who have read several workplace novels, such as Du Lala's Promotion, so they are all the same when talking about work, but when you let him really start actual combat, he will tell you with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to find a job, but it's too difficult to find a good job now. My dad is not Li Gang or Li Ka-shing ... "

Therefore, in order to avoid employment, these three types of students have made a unanimous decision-"postgraduate entrance examination".

Nowadays, the employment situation of undergraduates is really not optimistic, especially those students with average grades and abilities during their college years. Graduate school is a good opportunity to improve your ability, a buffer period for preparing for employment, and a good choice to change the employment situation. Although the employment situation of graduate students is cold in recent years, many graduate students do find jobs that are not as good as some undergraduates. But in general, the salary of graduate students is still about 30% higher than that of undergraduate students, and their career development prospects are better. As long as we pay a little attention to the current job market, it is not difficult to find that graduate education has become a threshold set by many enterprises; Postgraduate education has also become the standard for distinguishing posts. For example, many enterprises recruit graduate students to do technology and undergraduate students to do sales. Even many technical sales require a graduate degree. In addition, even in the civil service examination, a large number of positions in central organs or directly affiliated institutions require candidates to have a postgraduate degree. Therefore, graduate school is still a good way to get better employment opportunities, salary and career development prospects. Although education does not represent ability, it can open a door to success.

Schools that rely on exams

There are some people who take the postgraduate entrance examination. They regard "university" as "high school". The daily life in college for four years is as regular as that in high school. They are never late, let alone skipping classes. They do their homework carefully, prepare for every exam carefully, get scholarships every year, and have almost no spare time! These students didn't start thinking about life and their future until their junior year ... After thinking for a long time, they found that exams were the most familiar thing from childhood, and others seemed to be unable to do it themselves. It seems that the postgraduate entrance examination is just an exam after all. They are very familiar with it and like it very much. Although preparing for the exam is very hard, at least they are familiar with the review routine and the review content. Looking for a job still needs self-analysis, industry research, resume, online application, written test, interview, image etiquette, eloquence marketing, physical examination ... or the postgraduate entrance examination is very simple, with only objective and subjective questions, as long as you can write down your name and paint an answer sheet, so they decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Angry graduate school

Some students didn't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination themselves, but because of the pressure from school teachers, their parents pressed them very hard, and the students around them shouted fiercely, so they simply reported to a school and major in a rage, reviewed casually, and it didn't matter which school they were admitted to, because they wanted me to take the exam anyway, so just give them an explanation.

Experiential graduate school

Some students have a high level, and their postgraduate entrance examination is called the Olympic spirit-"participation is the key", the result is not important, they enjoy the process. They think that the postgraduate entrance examination is a right given to them by the Constitution, and they may not pass the exam, but they swear to defend their right to take the postgraduate entrance examination. They firmly believe that "life without postgraduate entrance examination is an incomplete life"! For this goal, whether you love it or not, whether you have a goal or not, you have to go through everything! It's a pity that more than/kloc-0.0 million people participate in large-scale activities every year without participating in the experience.

Puzzled graduate school

Among the thousands of students who consult us every year, some students have inexplicable purposes and basically have nothing to do with the postgraduate entrance examination itself. For example, some students and girlfriends work in a city, and in order to pursue a princess like Super Mario, they pursue their love through postgraduate entrance examination; The reason why a classmate we contacted took the postgraduate entrance examination turned out to be to save money! He said: "Beijing's housing prices are so expensive, let alone buying a house after graduation. Renting a house is expensive. Graduate students can solve the accommodation problem and save tens of thousands in three years. No matter what you didn't learn in the master's degree, saving money is very refreshing ... "

Then, in the face of such fierce competition, what kind of mentality should we have to get a greater probability of success? According to the statistical analysis of the number of students we have successfully tutored for many years, the following conclusions are drawn:

Opportunities for further study

According to incomplete statistics, about 30% of the students who successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination chose the postgraduate entrance examination for the purpose of further study.

These students can be divided into three types according to their different needs for further study. The first category is mostly fresh graduates. They believe that, on the one hand, graduate school can exercise their professional quality, help them to establish their own professional "core competitiveness", so as to gain an advantage in the workplace, get a well-paid job or continue to deepen their professional studies and achieve extraordinary professional achievements. After two or three years of postgraduate study, I will stand at a higher starting point.

We believe that from the current situation, with the rapid development of China and the popularization of higher education, the society's demand for personal knowledge will gradually increase. In other words, with a higher degree, there will be more opportunities and more room for development.

During the four years in college, students can't learn much professional knowledge. Undergraduate course is not to teach students much professional knowledge. Most of the courses at this stage will be relatively broad, often with a wide range and insufficient depth. After entering the postgraduate stage, it is mainly to cultivate students' scientific research ability, so that you can go deeper in a certain field or a certain direction, so that you can have a clear understanding, accurate grasp and profound understanding of this direction, master relevant knowledge and technology, and have the ability to further develop technology or academic research.

For those who have the goal of further study, it is a worthwhile choice to choose postgraduate entrance examination and then graduate school, and this kind of postgraduate entrance examination is also the most likely to succeed, because graduate tutors like students who really want to do scientific research best.

The second kind of people hope to further improve their professional quality and improve their professional level in their jobs. Because the postgraduate period is a period when you can calm down and study and do things seriously. This is also the reason why many candidates choose the road of postgraduate entrance examination instead of high salary.

The third kind of people take the ideal postgraduate entrance examination for further study abroad. In their view, there is a broader world abroad, and even if they return to work in the future, they will at least be plated with gold abroad! However, it is difficult for some "not-so-good-born" undergraduates to directly apply for top foreign universities after graduation, so they have to choose to go abroad for further study after graduate school.

Pursue your own interests and improve your professional level.

Many people's undergraduate majors are not their own interests. Mainly because I didn't know anything about the research field, application value and development prospect of this major when I applied for it, or I was forced to adjust because of my low score, or my parents and relatives chose it for me. After entering the university, they found that they were really not interested in their major. By some coincidence, they began to be interested in other majors, so they wanted to continue their further study and development in their fields of interest. For many colleges and universities, if you study hard in the first year after entering the university, and your grades can rank 65,438+00% before the grade, then you usually have the opportunity to change majors at the beginning of your sophomore year. If you don't grasp this opportunity, it's also a good choice to choose your major of interest through postgraduate entrance examination. In addition, some people finally find their own interests after staying in their jobs for several years, so they want to further their studies in the fields they are interested in, so it is also one of the most ideal choices to take the postgraduate entrance examination and then go to graduate school.

During the postgraduate period, we can fully display our talents and pursue our interests without restriction. "Interest and hobbies are the best teachers", because of interest, so focus; Because of concentration, so professional; Because of professionalism, it is high energy; Because of its high energy, it is high. When we read the stories of those Nobel Prize winners, what we feel most is their love and infatuation with their major. Only by loving your major can you achieve extraordinary achievements.

Change fate

Some graduate students are not interested in their major or other majors. They are either unwilling to fail in the college entrance examination, holding the determination to "make a comeback", trying to dispel the haze of the failure of the college entrance examination with the light of the success of the postgraduate entrance examination, and reverse their fate through the postgraduate entrance examination; Or suddenly wake up in the cruel reality, regret wasting time, doing nothing, falling and sinking in the past, so make up your mind to renew your energy and regain your confidence in the battlefield of postgraduate entrance examination; Or I hope to get a chance to go to graduate school first, and then think about how to go in the future during graduate school. They go to graduate school more for change.

Change your destiny, climb higher steps, break the bottleneck in your work, and strive for better development opportunities and broader development space for yourself.

Build a higher social circle and pave the way for future development.

Among the students who succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination, there is a class of people who are quite resourceful. They believe that "the average strength of the friends you make is a reflection of your own strength." As we all know, learning resources and talent resources in colleges and universities are quite rich. Therefore, they choose to go to graduate school because they can further expand their circle of friends and establish a benign and higher-level communication network.

When we give lectures, we often say that people are social people and society is human society. Therefore, our future development depends to some extent on our teamwork ability, interpersonal skills and social circle we have established. The expansion of interpersonal relationship is an important gain during our postgraduate study.

In fact, there is no distinction between high and low motivation for postgraduate entrance examination, only strong and weak motivation. Whether you take the postgraduate entrance examination because you want to complete your dream of being a famous school since childhood, or compromise with reality, or choose the postgraduate entrance examination because of the stimulation of your lover like some of our former students, as long as you make up your mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you may succeed.
