How to improve your academic qualifications at the age of 50?

How to improve your academic qualifications at the age of 50? There is an old saying in China that it is never too late to learn. It's never too late as long as you make up your mind. Everything needs a gradual process. At this stage, there are mainly the following ways for you to choose to upgrade your academic qualifications:

First, take the self-study exam and obtain a nationally recognized education;

The second is to apply for radio and TV universities and obtain nationally recognized academic qualifications after graduation;

The third is to participate in online distance teaching and learning in relevant schools, and obtain a nationally recognized academic qualification through examinations;

Fourth, if the unit is large, the staff university sponsored by the unit is also a way;

Fifth, Party schools at all levels, colleges of education (training teachers) and other schools also undertake some adult education tasks.

Just say dry goods, not what others can say, not to mention what they are fooling.

Back to the topic, "How to improve academic qualifications?" On this issue, no matter how you search online, Baidu, Zhihu, Today's Headline, Tik Tok, Phoenix, Wang Qiuzhu and so on. , there will be no positive solution.

What is your highest education at present? The kind that has been certified. Click below to see how many peers have the same educational background as you.

You search Zhihu to see "How to improve your education?"

There must be hundreds of answers, and the high-ticket answers are nothing more than these four categories:

1, orthodox nonsense: a high degree is really important;

2. Answer irrelevant questions: Why is high education important?

3. Shake your wits: I have a little classmate who just graduated from elementary school. At present, I have a successful career and ten suites.

4. Soft-text advertisement: The main reason for the counterattack of TA career is that you come to our elite training class to improve your academic qualifications!

The above four answers are all nonsense, they don't solve the problem and don't consider anything else. But their useless answers are really the vast majority that your eyes can see, not just Zhihu's answers.

By the way, let's congratulate the handsome guy who read my article in the third year of high school, otherwise he might just give up and drop it.

Books, tradition and secularism all gave him a feeling that "double non-master's degree is not as good as 985 undergraduate course", "graduate students in non-key universities are useless in employment" and "unpopular majors are not as good as undergraduate courses in the future" ... It is no exaggeration to say that one of his classmates changed his life even if he inadvertently forwarded my article to him.

Get to the point, everything must be combined with personal circumstances, don't blindly follow, you have to do what others have done?

If you are 40 years old, education is not the main thing at this time. Your nearly 20 years of professional experience is your greatest asset in the workplace.

Middle-aged people can have a junior college, an undergraduate college, even an adult college, and even a junior college. Although 50 years old can improve academic qualifications, it is of little use. It's icing on the cake (the director is promoted to vice president), not a gift in the snow (keeping a job, avoiding a midlife crisis, and applying for a job by upgrading your academic qualifications).

If it's in a small city, don't bother. When it comes to relationships in small cities, you might as well maintain good relationships and develop sideline business outside your main business.

What is a small city? Cities below the provincial capital are called small cities. In a small city, you have a job with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan in a public institution or a large local foreign company. Doctors come to compete with you, and it is useless for you to improve your education.

People within the system, employees of large state-owned enterprises, regional leaders of chain companies, small foreign bosses, bank employees and local teachers in small cities constitute the main middle class in this city. If it doesn't matter, you can only work in small private enterprises, private enterprises, jiaozidian and other training courses outside the system. The salary is low and you are ready to be laid off at any time without compensation.

Therefore, in small cities, relationships must be well maintained, platforms of enterprises and units must be selected, and it is even more difficult to start a business in small cities, so small cities are not suitable for starting a business. But you can develop a sideline, especially one with poor information. Because the information in a small city is blocked and the format is incomplete, you can use it to do some sideline work, but it doesn't mean you have to study for a master's degree or a doctor's degree.

The latter is true. If you are in a big city, at least a city above the provincial capital, or a city in two coastal metropolitan areas (Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta), your academic qualifications should be improved, and the higher the better.

Start with the minimum education. For example, when you are 22 years old, you didn't think academic qualifications were important before, but now you just graduated from primary school. Here it is. You have to have a college degree. This is relatively simple, Baidu yourself or find someone around you to get one.

Then, you just graduated from high school or technical secondary school. You are 24 years old at present. You can get a college or undergraduate degree through "upgrading from junior college to undergraduate college", which is mainly divided into two forms: adult examination and self-study examination, which is a bit difficult.

Go on, if you are a junior college student or an undergraduate, you can study for a master's degree. For example, in the screenshot below, my old Hu, who is only 27 years old, is now a small supervisor in a first-tier city. At this time, she is studying for a master's degree and can't delay any longer. 27 years old, no graduate school, married and childless. Next time I have time to pick up a book, I will be 35 years old.

There are five main ways to get a master's degree.

1, go abroad for postgraduate study.

This is a master's degree for 1 -2 years overseas.

Tuition and living expenses should be 300,000-600,000, which means there is no upper limit for 600,000, depending on your family's economic situation. This is the greatest benefit in the future and the wisest at present. A three-year master's degree in China is not bad, but it takes more time for tutors to abuse students. The point is that you have missed the opportunity now, and then you are not cut out for the exam. You meet these two conditions: the family economy is acceptable and you are young (at least under 30 years old).

2. Master of Unified Examination

This is to take the unified examination in 65438+February every year. This kind is to take the exam before entering the school, commonly known as Yan Jin Kuan Chu.

Although I have graduated from work, I can also take the unified examination with the fresh graduates, and finally I can get a diploma and a degree certificate. There are two forms, full-time and part-time.

This emphasis is mainly on the ability to test. Whether you can graduate in the end depends on the paper, mainly on whether you have time and whether the paper is done well. Thesis is the biggest way for you to graduate. Generally, you can also apply for an extension of graduation for up to 8 years.

3. Shen Shuo

Every year in May and June, Shen Shuo has the same academic ability. This kind of threshold is slightly lower, commonly known as wide entry and strict exit.

Attend the advanced seminar face to face, get the certificate of completion, and get the degree certificate after passing the exam, commonly known as the certificate. This kind of diploma can't be obtained. This document is the corresponding statement of unified recruitment and double certificates in just 2.

Chatting is better than nothing. This relatively simple master's degree in documentation is more suitable for people who graduate from junior college after 7 years or from undergraduate course after 5 years. Why? You don't look at my figures for these seven years and five years, but you think it's nine Niu Yi hairs. I have statistics. After five to seven years of social experience, you haven't taken the exam for many years, and your brain can cope with the level of the senior high school entrance examination, which has rusted.

Don't be dissatisfied, you can either take the postgraduate entrance examination yourself. People over 30 often say "I can't learn", don't be a joke. Be more realistic and learn. Do you have time to study?

I have answered thousands of questions in the knowledge planet, and one of them frequently appears: "I graduated from junior college 10, and want to improve my education." Is it good to register for a master's degree, such as Beiqing, or my local Ningbo Institute of Technology? " The former is expensive and the latter is cheap! "This question has been asked too many times. Let me answer in words.

First, the master's degree of well-known universities with expensive tuition fees is indeed better than the unknown master's degree in the real job market, but the degree of good is limited;

Secondly, this is the most important thing. Can I get into a master's degree in a prestigious school? I haven't studied for ten years, and he (she) will take the master's degree in Tsinghua Peking University and Zhejiang University in one breath;

Third, I think your salary has not been high for ten years after you graduated from college. More than 200,000 tuition fees are afraid that you will call Shui Piao. This tuition fee is the cash deposit left after tax.

Secular thinking is stubborn. When we come into contact with books again, we become scholars' spirits, always wanting to reprimand Fang Qiu and say "Do the best if you don't do it" ... You are a social person. How much have you earned, worked and performed in society in the past ten years? Do your best.

4. Foreign universities run schools in China

In fact, this is a more flexible method, that is, go to domestic universities around you and even academic upgrading institutions to find the registration points of these overseas universities in China.

Mainly through studying in domestic courses, you can get a master's certificate issued abroad within one or two years. This kind of certificate is more suitable for people after the age of 30, and the cost is not much. The registration fee ranges from 30 thousand to 400 thousand.

I'll just list some:

monash university

Carnegie Mellon University

Wollongong University

Queen Mary College London

University College London

Atlanta International University (Atlantic International University)

Adam Smith University

National University (National University)

American World University.

American Open University

American Nobel University

Patriot Bible University

American University of Science and Technology (USTA)

I am just giving examples above, but some people say that these may be suspected of "diploma workshops". No matter what kind of university, at least give you a master's degree certificate. In your job interview, in your career, when you need a degree, you will get a master's degree.

As I have said, when you compete for the same position in your city that month, you will only compare your master's degree with another applicant if your salary requirements, working years, interview performance, industry matching, household registration, gender and appearance are very similar. This possibility is close to zero, remember, close to zero.

5、EMBA

This is aimed at particularly rich people, at least corporate executives, and is not aimed at making money.

I don't encourage this, but although you graduated from junior college or technical secondary school, you are now a director, so you can wash your hands of it. I suggest you sign up for one, basically you don't need to take the exam, and your contacts can also be improved.

The above five channels, which vary from person to person, can improve academic qualifications. These five channels are all bachelor degree or above. If you are in a first-tier city, the salary alone will be 5 million yuan higher than the average level of undergraduates in the next 30 years. If inflation is included, it will be100000 yuan.

I recommend these five channels, no matter which one. If you want to make a comprehensive choice according to your own situation, be sure to tell me which of these five channels is better or worse. That's true. What should I eat with 8 million yuan/100000/1 1? Porridge, jiaozi or western food? Which hotel to choose ... let the poor talk about their feelings, fool students into doing personality tests and career planning, and ask fresh graduates to be sales managers and get high commissions. 996 or even 007 is a blessing. When you enter a private enterprise to protect the national industry, every time you apply for a job, let you regard your next job as a lifelong career, let poor tenants discuss where a single-family villa is better than a townhouse, and let the murderer cross the road without running a red light. ......

Far from the point, but look at the theme of this official number. Almost every article is designed to make you resist traditional thinking and avoid detours in life. This is to save your youth. Many people wash their minds back in three days after reading my article or receiving guidance.

After all, few people can help me, so someone recommended his (her) friend to come to me. How can I have time to answer them one by one? I don't need to introduce them. I just ignored it before I finished reading 30 articles. Reference is useless. Normal thinking can't read an article, because it's different from her traditional cognition in the past twenty years, so naturally she can't read it.

Recite, education does not mean ability, diploma does not mean level, but why is education so important?

This article "The results of postgraduate entrance examination have come out, what should I do next?"? "It has been made very clear. After the commodity economy entered the fortieth year, it began to enter the era of professional managers. The most important symbol of professional managers is high education. From this point of view, the bigger the urban education, the more useful it is, and the smaller the urban education, the less attention it receives. Because the development process of commodity economy in small cities is not obvious and lags behind, small cities believe in popular concepts such as "no one is an official in the DPRK", "once every emperor is a courtier" and "hungry craftsmen in famine years".

Back to the present, we also remember that it will become more and more difficult to get a certificate in the future, such as taking the postgraduate entrance examination. You've only heard of World War I and World War II at most, and the next five, eight and ten wars are not news. Tell me, how did you make it look like Jin Fan's move? Yes, there are not many opportunities to fight back, and the only remaining lifeline is education.

China's market economy has developed for forty-one years, so we can't face your present with the thoughts of our elders in the past. They all worked in the same era, working all their lives, and they can buy a house, a car and get married. If they are unhappy, they can start a business. Even "it is better to sell tea eggs than to make money from atomic bombs", and "going to sea" is better than "being an official".

However, in your time, the purchasing power of wages is extremely low, and the times are gone forever. The success rate of starting a business is one percent. Your era values the highly educated professional manager culture, not the small boss.
