College degrees, like the RMB, are losing value at an incredible rate. I often hear that master's students and doctoral students working as security guards or food deliverymen, I am not sure if it is true, they have studied for so many years, but have to do the work that does not require much education.
More than 20 years ago, I went to Shanghai alone. In order to learn English, I chatted with all people who I could contact to practice English. Such as chatting with foreigners on ICQ and chatting with people whose net name written in English on QQ. I often was shocked when I knew where they were. They studied in Fudan University as a master student or in Jiaotong University as a doctor student. Sometimes the person on the other side of the screen was an international student.
The top students on Internet chatted with me to practice English, I felt flattered. At that time, a person with a high degree was considered to be the most intelligent in society, he must be a pillar of the country. They had bright prospects and employment directions.
I envied people with a good education background so much.Today, the situation is not optimistic. Students graduated from ordinary colleges, could not find a god job, have not a better way. But our children still study so hard, in order to enter universities, go to bed very late, and get up very early, and do their best.
This really makes me thinking a lot.
