The two most talked-about issues in today's society are education and employment, and these two topics are closely related. In the era of academic qualifications, educational background has a profound impact on employment, and with the improvement of academic qualifications, employment options are also more extensive, which is the fundamental reason why students continue to pursue higher qualifications.
A doctorate degree is considered the "highest allocation" in the academic system and should theoretically have an advantage in the job market. However, this is not the case, and many doctoral students are facing employment difficulties, and fierce competition in the workplace has caused many doctoral students to switch to a more stable career direction.
Professions such as doctors and teachers, which are regarded as "iron rice bowls", have become the first choice for graduates, especially university teachers, and they are ideal places for doctoral students. However, Professor Chu Yin put forward a different view on the career prospects of university teachers, and his remarks were both realistic and pertinent.
Professor Chu Yin pointed out that university teachers have entered the sunset industry, and many students plan to pursue the establishment of university teachers when they are studying for graduate school, but Professor Chu Yin usually discourages him from quitting because there are too many practical dilemmas that cannot be ignored.
The competition for university teachers is fierce, and it takes up to 16-18 years to be a lecturer, associate professor, etc., before they can really get a stable position. In addition, the future of university teaching positions is not "safe", and college students have a surplus of talents, and may face the problem of reemployment in middle age.
Professor Chu Yin also mentioned that the work of university lecturers is not as easy as it seems on the surface, they need to constantly write articles, participate in scientific research experiments, work pressure, and the income standard is relatively low, the monthly salary of newly hired university lecturers is only 5 or 6,000 yuan, compared with undergraduate graduates, it takes 15 years to reach the level of more than 10,000 yuan, and the gap is obvious.
Therefore, Professor Chu Yin believes that university lecturers already belong to the sunset industry, and choosing this career route requires loneliness. For doctoral students, due to the overabundance of academic qualifications, they have fallen into the employment dilemma of high but not low.
Considering the high cost of doctoral education and the older age at the time of graduation, it seems reasonable to choose a relatively stable job. Although university faculty members do not earn much, their jobs are relatively easy and relatively stable after obtaining the establishment, making them a good choice for recent doctoral graduates.
In the fierce competition for the workplace, it is relatively cost-effective to become a university teacher, and many students want to get a place in the university establishment, but this also means that the competition will become more intense.
In order to become a university teacher, students can communicate with their tutors in advance to understand the requirements for staying in school, while maintaining excellent academic qualifications, abilities, and grades. In addition, applying for the preparation of teachers in other colleges and universities needs to pay attention to the recruitment information and prepare for the exam comprehensively to ensure that they are competitive in the written examination and interview.
Overall, Professor Chu Yin's analysis makes some points worth considering about the employment prospects of university teachers. When making a decision, doctoral students should fully analyze the pros and cons of the position, consider whether the individual can cope with the relevant difficulties, and make a decision after rational thinking to avoid detours.
