Recently, it seems to be a storm in the system. From the overwhelming sharing of experience in preparing for the public examination on social media, to the various popular articles on "how to live in the system", you can feel a surging "examination fever". So, has the system really become the only way out for young people?
It is undeniable that stability within the system is a major attraction for young people. Compared with the frequent layoffs and fierce competition in the private sector, the work within the system seems to be more "iron rice bowl". Stable income, five insurances and one housing fund, and various welfare benefits are undoubtedly very attractive to young people who pursue a stable life.
In addition, the system also provides a certain social status and network resources. Traditionally, work within the system has been seen as a "decent" profession that brings a certain amount of social recognition to individuals and families. The accumulation of network resources also provides more possibilities for future development.
However, the system is not a paradise. As the number of public exams continues to rise, the competition is becoming more and more fierce. In order to get a desired position, candidates need to put in a lot of effort, and the phenomenon of "involution" in the preparation process is also intensifying.
In addition to the pressure of competition, the "involution" within the system is also reflected in the work. Many jobs in the system seem easy, but in fact, there are a lot of cumbersome processes and complex interpersonal relationships. In order to get promotion, employees have to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with various entertainment and appraisals.
So, what options do young people have in addition to taking the public examination? (1) Entrepreneurship and innovation: With the rapid development of the Internet and technology, entrepreneurship and innovation have become the choice of more and more young people. Although starting a business is risky, the rewards of success are also huge. (2) Freelancing: With the rise of the concept of "slash youth", freelancing is also becoming more and more popular among young people. By leveraging their strengths, freelancers can have more flexible ways of working and higher incomes.
What kind of career path you choose is an important decision for your personal development. Young people should consider various options based on their interests, abilities, values, and other factors to make the most suitable decision for themselves.
It's not the only way out within the system, but it's still a good option. For young people who seek stability and aspire to contribute to society, the system is still an option worth considering. However, young people should also be aware that the system is not perfect and has certain limitations.
Before making a choice, young people may wish to do more research, listen to the advice of their seniors, and communicate with people from different industries to better understand their career plans. After all, the path of life is diverse, and only by finding the path that suits you can you truly realize your self-worth.
