Some students may struggle: first find a job to support themselves, and then review and prepare for the World War II postgraduate entrance examination while working. Is it reliable?
As an old senior who took the postgraduate entrance examination more than ten years ago, I think it is completely feasible to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working in the second year.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, in recent years, the proportion of in-service graduate students has increased year by year, reaching nearly 50%.
20 17 * * * 20 10000 registered, including new candidates 1 13000, and 880,000 previous candidates, accounting for 43.8% of previous candidates; In 2065438+2008, * * * 2.38 million people applied for the exam, of which 13 1 10,000 were fresh candidates and107,000 were previous candidates, accounting for 45% of previous students.
Number of applicants from recent graduates and previous graduates
Ratio of fresh graduates to previous graduates
China Postgraduate Admissions Information Network 20 19 shows that more than 1/3 candidates have taken the postgraduate entrance examination twice or more.
20 19 Proportion of candidates taking the postgraduate entrance examination
Such a large proportion of former students and students who have participated in the postgraduate entrance examination for many times show students' persistent pursuit of postgraduate entrance examination and also confirm everyone's recognition of postgraduate education. Some of these candidates are full-time reviewing for postgraduate entrance examination, and some are reviewing for postgraduate entrance examination while working. I think it's okay.
Full-time postgraduate entrance examination has plenty of time, but it does not mean that on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination is not enough. Among my graduate students, there are many graduate students who successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination in World War II and World War III, and they are basically graduate practitioners who review while working.
Next, I will discuss the feasibility of on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination from three aspects: the significance of working while taking postgraduate entrance examination, detailed pros and cons analysis and review suggestions full of dry goods.
What's the point of taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working? 1. Prove yourself and complete your graduate dream.
Most of the students who lost the postgraduate entrance examination in World War I will not give up the postgraduate entrance examination. Because they all have a postgraduate dream in their hearts, a small setback can't stop them from moving forward. After all, they know that people are different from salted fish if they don't have dreams.
Life should not be static and calm, but in the pursuit of dreams, to achieve a different kind of wonderful.
There is a team motto on the wall of the NBA Boston Celtics training hall:
Which is more painful, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret? Which is more painful, effort or regret? A person's life should be a process of constantly shaping himself and realizing his dreams. Students who lost in World War I chose to continue their efforts without regrets. While working, they bravely embarked on the road of re-studying for graduate students with a last-ditch attempt, just to prove themselves and not worse than others.
Re-taking the postgraduate entrance examination is to give yourself more choices and grasp the initiative in life.
Huang Zhizhong said in Qi Yuan Shuo:
At any time in life, always keep as many choices as possible. There's always a choice. Lulu has a chance. Re-taking the postgraduate entrance examination is to give your life one more chance to choose while you are not willing to lose the first world war. What you choose is the infinite possibilities in the future; It brings a different kind of wonderful life.
At present, it is an indisputable fact that the starting salary of graduate students is higher than that of undergraduates, and through graduate study, students' academic ability, comprehensive quality, vision and platform resources will be improved to varying degrees. Therefore, students who choose to go to graduate school after graduating from college must want to better control their future life and achieve a better life through hard work.
I quite agree with Gao's sentence in "Short, Big, Tight, North 1: Wen Qing Manual":
For life, you either endure or fight. You will find that you have to fight in the end, so it is better to fight early. Don't wait until you graduate from college for a while and find that you really need to improve your academic qualifications before you think about taking the postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination was beyond your imagination.
For the postgraduate entrance examination, this sentence also applies: the greatest pain in life is not failure, but that I could have.
Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of postgraduate entrance examination while working.
1. While working, you can accumulate some practical experience on the spot, which is a powerful supplement to the book knowledge learned in the university.
With certain work experience, I will know more about my shortcomings and what I want to improve through graduate school. And if you are admitted to graduate school, you will adapt to the academic life of graduate students faster than fresh graduates.
For example, I have a classmate who was admitted to graduate school after working for 3 years. He did well in graduate school and was an academic madman. As soon as the first-year graduate student entered school, most of his classmates were still studying professional courses, and he began to do research and issue papers. During the whole postgraduate period, he published more papers and applied for patents than other students, published many international authoritative journals, and finally obtained excellent graduates in Beijing. This is due to his three years of work experience. Moreover, after he returned to work after graduation, he was promoted in only three years, which is the fastest person in his unit who has never been promoted before.
2. you can have a certain economic income during your work.
After graduating from college, you will have a certain economic income. At least it's not pure gnawing at the old. Using my earned salary to buy review materials and apply for remedial classes will make me feel more at ease, at least I will feel less guilty about my parents. After all, it is inspirational to realize your dreams with your own income.
This job is also a way out for graduate students.
Why can I find this job after graduating from undergraduate course? Fresh graduates? Halo blessing. For non-fresh graduates, it will be relatively difficult to find a job.
Of course, there is also the possibility of failure in the postgraduate entrance examination in World War II.
If it is a full-time postgraduate entrance examination, if it fails, it is necessary to find a new job. At this time, you are no longer a fresh graduate, and it is not easy to find a satisfactory job. Moreover, the two postgraduate entrance examinations failed, which must be a great psychological blow to myself. I feel frustrated and less confident when looking for a job.
If you take the postgraduate entrance examination while working, then this job is a powerful guarantee after the postgraduate entrance examination fails. Maybe you won't continue the postgraduate entrance examination, but your work and life will continue. In this way, there will be no heavy psychological pressure when reviewing, so you can go into battle and review lightly.
If you are not satisfied with your job, you will cherish the opportunity to take the postgraduate entrance examination more.
College students usually quit their first job after graduation. LinkedIn released according to 20 18? First job trend insight? Data display:
The average on-the-job time of the first job in the workplace shows an obvious downward trend with the passage of generations. After 70, the first job was changed for more than four years, after 80, it was three and a half years, after 90, it was reduced to 19 months, and after 95, it was only seven months to choose to resign. The main reason for resigning is that I am not satisfied with my job.
If you find that this job can't help you learn useful knowledge and skills, the future salary growth space can't meet your psychological expectations, or your ability is not enough for this job, then you will be more determined to take the postgraduate entrance examination and cherish your second chance. This is your deep thinking after you have a clear understanding of the social reality, which will bring positive incentives to your postgraduate review, so that you have enough internal driving force to firmly invest in postgraduate review.
5. World War II postgraduate entrance examination has experience and psychological advantages.
For students who take part in the postgraduate entrance examination for the second time, it will save a lot if they are familiar with the postgraduate entrance examination process, review the plan, choose the target school and review the materials. Cross the river by feeling the stones? Time has more experience and psychological advantages than students who take the postgraduate entrance examination for the first time.
Second, the disadvantages.
1. Taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working will definitely take up some review time.
As a newcomer in the workplace, you need to learn a lot, from corporate culture and rules and regulations to professional knowledge and business skills. At this time, you have little time to review your work during the day. If you encounter temporary work such as overtime and business trip, it will further squeeze your review time and disrupt your review plan.
After all, it is difficult to succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination without a certain review time guarantee.
2. Lack of comrades who are taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
Don't underestimate the strength of comrades in the postgraduate entrance examination, it is a very important spiritual companion.
Reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination at school, you will have many classmates to work with you. Comrades can encourage each other, urge each other and exchange information. After work, the people you deal with are basically colleagues. There are almost no comrades around to cheer you up, help you answer questions and pass on useful examination information in time, which is also a hurdle on the road to postgraduate review.
3. In the process of work, it is likely to change the desire for postgraduate entrance examination.
Some people you meet at work and some things you have experienced are likely to make your desire to take the postgraduate entrance examination less intense. For example:
You might like this job. It may be because the income from work makes you satisfied, it may be because the company environment makes you feel comfortable, it may be that the company leaders value you more, or it may be that you have found your own interest and gained interest in your work. All these will make you feel that you have found a good job, so why take the postgraduate entrance examination? In this case, it is completely unnecessary to take the postgraduate entrance examination. After all, most students take the postgraduate entrance examination in order to find a satisfactory job. If you are satisfied with your job, what's the point of riding a donkey to find a donkey? Another possibility is that you meet some professionals who are content with the status quo at work and think that such an ordinary and simple life is also good, thus killing your will and losing the motivation to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I have a college classmate, who thinks very well and takes the postgraduate entrance examination while working. But after work, he met several colleagues, drank with them every day, and lived a very chic life. However, the dream of postgraduate entrance examination has already flown to the outside world, and I don't know where the postgraduate entrance examination materials are thrown.
Then, how should the on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination be reviewed? The following are 10 review suggestions for the postgraduate entrance examination, and the dry goods are full.
1. Firm the goal of postgraduate entrance examination.
Since your goal is to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you should eliminate all external interference in the process of work. Except for the working hours at work, everything in this year is for the postgraduate entrance examination service. Don't shake your goal of taking the postgraduate entrance examination because of some trivial things at work and some noises in life.
The most important thing in the process of postgraduate entrance examination is perseverance; The hardest thing is that the enthusiasm is fading.
Roman? Roland said.
The future belongs to those who, once decided, will persevere and never give up until they reach their goals. Please remember: only when you are firm in your heart can you flow freely.
Don't look for a busy job.
Don't be too busy at work. It is an important prerequisite for the success of the postgraduate entrance examination while working.
There is a simple reason. The guarantee of going ashore for postgraduate entrance examination is sufficient review time. Work that is too busy or requires frequent overtime and business trips will definitely affect your review time, so when looking for a job, be sure to ask about the time and nature of the work. I'd rather have a lower income than find a job that works from nine to five and doesn't work overtime on weekends. As for 996? You tell him 886!
3. Make a detailed review plan
First of all, we should fully sum up the experience and lessons on the basis of the failure in the first year of postgraduate entrance examination. You can learn from the students admitted to graduate school, learn from their learning methods and time schedule, adjust your mistakes in time, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Then we should make a detailed review plan, carefully sort out the review progress and time arrangement of each subject, and avoid the phenomenon that there is not enough review time because we have to take care of our work.
It is suggested to break down the daily time by hours, so that you can know more about how many hours of review time you can have every day and which course to review in each time period. The more detailed the better. For example, recite English from 6: 00 to 7: 00 every morning, and review how to allocate the time of other courses from 7: 00 to1after work.
When making a plan, we should arrange the review and rest time reasonably. You can't blindly arrange too much review time, which will affect your normal rest. This will not only bring you too much psychological pressure, but also affect your health, thus increasing the possibility of not persisting, which is not worth the candle.
4. Establish the confidence to win the postgraduate entrance examination.
The postgraduate entrance examination in World War II has already had the first year's experience, and it takes one more year to review than those who took the postgraduate entrance examination in World War I.. At this time, they must have a certain psychological advantage and cannot bear heavy psychological pressure because of the last defeat. All you have to do is be firm? Will this battle be won? Confident. Can you give yourself positive psychological hints every day, such as saying to yourself in the mirror in the morning? Are you sure you can do it? I will work hard for your one-day review.
When you choose to persist confidently, the whole world will make way for your running.
5. Choose a suitable target institution.
When choosing a target institution, you must evaluate your own strength reasonably and don't underestimate your talent. If the scores of the target institutions in the first year are too high and the scores of the postgraduate entrance examination are too low, the gap is quite large, then the target schools for postgraduate entrance examination should be appropriately adjusted during World War II. It is very unlikely to blindly rush to a prestigious school without weighing your own weight. It is basically a waste of time as cannon fodder, which is quite stupid.
Never look at the cards in your hand or the road under your feet. That's not looking to the future, but thinking.
6. Appropriate review environment
One disadvantage of taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working is that there is no good learning environment like school, such as library and study room, which can make you review with peace of mind. At this time, I suggest that students who take the postgraduate entrance examination rent a house alone near the company, which can reduce the commuting time on the road and have more time to review; On the other hand, a person's life can also eliminate all kinds of interference, maximize the use of their own space time, undisturbed review.
7. Review with strict self-discipline
Hugo said:
The real strong is the kind of person who has self-control. Self-disciplined learners are terrible because they make rapid progress. All the students admitted to the graduate school, without exception, are strict and self-disciplined, and can resist the temptation of the outside world and the loneliness of reviewing alone. Those who are not self-disciplined, fishing for three days, surfing the Internet for two days and playing mobile phones at their desks for two hours are doomed to failure.
Japanese master of habit formation, samurai Furukawa, believes that our bodies all have one kind? Accustomed to gravity, that is to say, I like to keep the status quo fixed and refuse new changes. What you need to do as a graduate student is to turn the daily regular review into the new normal of physical adaptation, isn't it? Three minutes of heat? .
I have a roommate who successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination. After work at 5 o'clock every day, he eats some food in a hurry and reviews alone in the single dormitory. He often studies until midnight 12 or 1. And how to maintain vigorous energy every day? He has a good sleep at noon every day.
8. Resist the interference of unfavorable external environment
As the saying goes, if you are near Zhu Zhechi, you will be black, if you are near Mexico. The influence of external environment on a person is self-evident In the review, we should be good at learning to use the positive factors in the surrounding environment and resist the interference of people and things that are not conducive to the review of the postgraduate entrance examination.
When Li Jian spoke at his alma mater, Tsinghua University, he recalled such a thing:
On a cold winter weekend, two students who studied better in the dormitory got up after 7 o'clock, and another student who studied a little worse was woken up and asked the two students: Did you go to self-study so early on Saturday? ? The two boys hurried out without paying attention. After a while, the students who were awakened also got up and went to study by themselves.
This is the power of the environment.
9. Make full use of debris time
Zeng Guofan said:
All the mediocrity in the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, have been defeated by a lazy word. Nothing is difficult in the world. In-service graduate students can't spend the whole day reviewing, so they must make full use of the fragmentation time like a sponge squeezing water. When these fragmented time is broken down into parts, it will also produce unexpected and gratifying results.
For example, on the way to and from work, the gap between work and rest, the waiting time in line and so on. , can make full use of. You can listen to tapes, recite words, recite formulas, recite political concepts and so on.
Learn to make full use of smart phones, instead of just talking and playing games as a job. For example, if you recite words, you can use apps such as Chinese characters and scallop words. Knowledge concepts that need to be memorized repeatedly can be recorded and listened to by yourself. You can also organize knowledge points and take photos with your mobile phone, which is convenient for viewing and reviewing at any time.
10. The highest level of review? Flow?
Psychologist Mihaly? Hiszant Mikhail suggested it? Flow? Concept, that is, the feeling that the individual spirit is completely devoted to some activity. This is your mental state when you are absorbed in a certain behavior. When a person is immersed in this state, he usually does not want to be disturbed.
Do you need this for the postgraduate review? Forget me? The state of. When we review, because we are absorbed in it, we often forget the passage of time, just like the feeling during the exam. This is the highest level of review, and it is also the moment with the highest learning efficiency.
On the basis of the conclusion, I discussed in detail the feasibility of on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination from three aspects: significance, advantages and disadvantages analysis and review suggestions.
Postgraduate entrance examination has always been a self-investment with high cost performance. I was admitted and my dream came true. Failure to pass the exam is also an unforgettable learning experience, which is a useful supplement and promotion to the work.
On-the-job graduate students should be prepared for hardship, scientifically arrange and make good use of every minute and every second, and review with all their strength.
The dream is at your feet, and I hope every World War II postgraduate can make a beautiful turnaround. The moment you resign from the leadership with the graduate admission notice must be your most handsome moment!
Finally, give Wang Guozhen's "Marry Happiness" to the students who are struggling on the road to postgraduate entrance examination:
In the days of infatuation
Who knows?
What is sweet and what is bitter?
As long as you know that you are sure, you will never look back.
If you want to lose, you will lose to pursuit.
If you want to get married, marry happiness.
