White-collar workers: white-collar workers, enterprise managers, are the "coolies" who mainly use their brains. Because I wear a lot of white shirts, so I call it this.
Silver collar: Silver collar, also known as "gray collar", generally refers to senior skilled personnel who can use their brains and hands, have a certain level of knowledge and master high skills. It can be roughly divided into two parts. Most of them are concentrated in new manufacturing industries, such as automobile maintenance engineers and senior welders in automobile and electronics industries; Some of them are in emerging service industries, such as network management and animation.
Golden collar is a new group in the network age. The name "Golden Collar" is the social recognition of these people's knowledge structure, public relations ability, league coordination ability, management and operation ability, social relations resources and other comprehensive qualities. It is generally believed that Jinling is not only a top technical expert, but also has the right to manage the fate of white-collar workers. They are generally over 30 years old, and many of them got their degrees from abroad, and won the respect and recognition of others by virtue of their profound professional knowledge, excellent professional women's quality and understanding of life. Jinling is a down-to-earth doer, good at solving problems independently, full of risks and challenges for the future, eager for greater development space and his own professional field. Compared with white-collar workers and pink collars, the income of gold collars is much higher, and the monthly salary exceeds 1000 yuan. They own their own house and car. They don't follow suit when buying clothes, but pay more attention to quality, brand and grade, and can enjoy various leisure services in high-end clubs. Life is full of flavor at this moment, enjoying the leisure and calmness that ordinary professionals cannot experience after work.
As a family opposite to white-collar workers, blue-collar workers mainly refer to workers. They get paid by giving their own physical strength. Therefore, their wages are not high. According to relevant statistics, the salary of Lanling is usually not higher than 1000 yuan.
White-collar workers in office buildings were first known to people. Most of them are well educated. They were hired by the boss because of their skills. They know how to dress appropriately and are independent in their work. Facing the impermanent world, it is more philosophical and the way to deal with problems is more practical. According to American standards, white-collar workers refer to people who earn $80,000 a year and do pure mental work (American standards).
Pink collar refers to freelancers who work from home. They can sleep late and eat at noon without being too particular. Home is both their habitat and their workplace. They communicate with the outside world by computer, telephone and fax, and know little about many stressful ways of the world in the white-collar working environment.
When college students in the early 1980 s had not had time to get out of the feeling of being favored by heaven, the pressure of finding a job shattered their white-collar dream with reality. We are used to using white-collar workers and blue-collar workers to distinguish job grades, and suddenly we found a long list of strange but attractive new names in newspapers and magazines, such as "golden collar", "pink collar" and "gray collar". In this era, people's lifestyles are becoming more and more diversified, so that each of us has to change.
No matter how colorful life is, after all, office workers working from nine to five are still the mainstream of society: few people can become "golden collars" such as CEO, and "pink collars" are the unique names of SOHO women. What about most of us? Suddenly found that the original most popular turned out to be the "silver collar" clan.
What is a "silver collar"?
Zhou Ji, Minister of Education of China, stressed at the Third Industry-University-Research Experience Exchange Meeting of National Higher Vocational Education that the main task of higher vocational education is to cultivate high-skilled talents. He said that such talents are neither white-collar nor blue-collar, but applied white-collar, which should be called "silver collar".
In our game industry, this was first called "gray collar", and "silver collar" is a relatively new term. Someone complained earlier: "A gray collar is sitting in a white-collar office, doing a blue-collar job." This statement is right or wrong, but one thing is right. "Silver Collar" is a compound talent with both knowledge and skills. Silver collar, to put it bluntly, is a senior technician, some highly educated and creative technicians.
Insiders pointed out that the emergence of "silver collar" is the need of the times and economic construction. The higher the technological content of the product? The greater the role of the "silver collar". In recent years, the number of blue-collar workers in developed countries has decreased by 20%, but the number of silver-collar workers has been expanding.
American economist Theodore? W? A study by Schultz shows that when the economic growth capacity of "material resources" reaches the limit, it must be "transferred from material resources to human resources". In the growth of American economy for more than half a century, the input of material resources has increased by 4.5 times and the income has increased by 3.5 times. The investment in human capital has increased by 3.5 times, but the income has increased by 17.5 times.
China's economy has entered the era of "high cost" operation, which indicates that the long-term growth of "material resources" has ended. "From material resources to human resources" has become the only choice for China's economy, and the arrival of the "silver collar" era has become a natural result. The appreciation of RMB has pushed this trend to the historical front.
As a result, "Silver Collar" has become a hot topic in recent years, and its demand far exceeds that of college students. It is reported that the salary of authentic "silver collar" is higher than that of small white collar in office 1/3. The market has proved the value of "silver collar" talents: in the employment guidance price recently announced by Guangzhou Labor and Social Security Bureau, the average annual salary of highly skilled talents is more than 38,000 yuan.
However, blue-collar talents are still a minority in China, and the supply is still in serious shortage. Nationwide, among the 70 million industrial workers, only 3.5% are senior technicians. Compared with 40% in developed countries. The gap between technicians and senior technicians is as high as 68% among the10.2 million enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta 16 cities with the most developed manufacturing industry in China.
In China, the general vocational school graduates' cultural quality is not too hard, while undergraduate students lack professional skills. Therefore, the state has formulated the strategy of "running schools jointly". That is, schools and training institutions set up professional enrollment to train students according to the needs of enterprise development; Enterprises * * * enjoy the educational resources of the school and cultivate intellectual elites who agree with corporate culture; Students plan their career direction in advance, study in a targeted way, choose the knowledge needed for the post, and realize zero-distance employment.
These methods are very suitable for fresh graduates with high academic qualifications (according to statistics, more than 2 million per year). These people have enough theoretical level and knowledge structure, and after short-term training and exercise, they can completely meet the requirements of a "silver collar". Of course, for high school graduates and secondary vocational schools, it takes a relatively long time to continue their studies.
In addition, the country has started the compilation of the "Silver Collar Project" series of teaching materials, and the series of teaching materials for the training of skilled talents in various professional fields will be included one after another to broaden the learning channels.
The game industry is one of the earliest industries to be included in the "Silver Collar" project. More than half of the first 25 industries included in the "gray collar" system are related to the IT industry. Compared with traditional IT, the game production industry is still a new industry because it started late, and the "silver collar" talents are even scarcer. The game industry is maturing step by step, bringing together a creative management team with various professional skills and educational backgrounds. In China, there is basically no academic education to train game talents. As the contemporary elites who are about to enter the society and students on university campuses, they will become the main force in this industry in the next few years. In the overwhelming advertisements, there are endless attractive statements such as "600,000 gap" and "high salary". Whether this data is credible or not, the lack of talents is an indisputable fact. For you who want to enter this industry, it is the most practical choice to become a "silver collar" talent. What to do depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.
