In recent years, the graduate examination continues to heat up. There are 945,000 students attending the graduate examination. The college students who participate in the examination want to get rid of the shadow of employment by using the university degree. The tragic scene of the entrance of the university begins to appear again.There are several reasons for students to attend the examination:1. To correspond to the trend of the times(1) To become top-notch creative talentsWe all know the importance of the education. In todays world, knowledge becomes a decisive factor to enhance the overall national strength and the international competitiveness. Therefore, the top-notch talents who are in the top of the cultivation of innovative talents are the real lucky. Students after four years of undergraduate education have already been the qualified workers and specialists, but they also have one step away from the top-notch talents.(2) To occupy the high end of the education systemThe Chinese education system consists of four components, namely, basic education, secondary vocational and technical education, general higher education and adult education. Since 1981, China has adopted the degree system, which is divided into the bachelor degree, the master degree and the doctor degree. Master, known as the graduate students, is an important part in the educational system and it is also the only way towards the highest degreethe doctor degree.2. To achieve the personal dreams(1) To realize the value of lifeAny normal person, who would not like to be after others, will work hard and make courage to do the right things. As the new century young people, we should take action and make efforts to realize the value of life. So taking the graduate examination is the best choice to prove your ability and talent.(2) To control our own destinyAfter going to college, especially one or two years later, most people find that the school and the major are not what we want and are not satisfied. At this time, we can change the current status by taking the graduate examination. Then we can choose any major we want and our ideal school according to our own ideas.3. To ease the pressure of employment(1) To win more opportunitiesAccording to the Ministry of Education, there are 23 million college students in 2005. Faced with such a large group of students, can you be so optimistic about the prospect of employment? If you are an undergraduate, then in 2010, you are 1 / 5000000; if you are a graduate student, you are 1 / 330000. If you want to avoid the risk of employment as much as possible, then you should choose to be a graduate student.(2) To give you more time to prepareWe have touched some learning content that is completely different from the past during the four years in college, and we have paid too much attention on the professional knowledge so that we have no time to think about the society and the life. However, years of study as a graduate student provide us a good chance to learn the life better. With the increase of social experience, your mind will change from an emotional one to a rational one and you will become more mature and understanding to handle all kinds of things.(3) To have a better stepping stoneNowadays, the degree of graduate education is essential. For example, more and more positions are only open to graduate students, including the civil service examination. Therefore, if you dont have the master degree, it means that you will lose many opportunities.In general, the students who choose to take graduate examination have the following state of mind:1. Having interest in engaging in the research workSome students do have strong interest in academic research, but the knowledge of undergraduate level is still superficial. Take the legal profession as an example. The undergraduate courses are mostly public knowledge, and the expertise of legal is relatively weak. So with such a knowledge structure and background, the students cannot be equal to the job of legal research. Whats more, the students with a master degree can enter the field of law theory and carry out some researches.2. Reducing the pressure of employmentThis kind of state of mind is more general among the students. In order to find a better and a more satisfied job in the future, many college students decide not to get into the society but to extend their learning career through taking the graduate examination. They hope that the employment situation will improve in the next three years and they can have the higher qualifications and strength in the job competition.3. Being the springboard for students to go aboardWith the increase of the employment pressure, studying aboard has become an important choice for many students. Because it is unbearable for many working families to study aboard at their own expense and a student with a master degree is easier to apply for scholarships in foreign universities in order to meet their living expenses and tuition fees, some students think studying in their own country for a master degree as a springboard to go aboard.Although taking the graduate examination has many benefits, it still has some shortcomings.1. After obtaining the master degree, the pressure of graduation still exists, and the more the young competitors, the heavier the pressure.2. During the time studying in graduate school, it is possible that you will learn nothing about the professional knowledge but a waste of time. Because you can make use of these time to gain experience for the future work.3. After graduate, you will older than the college students so you will lose the advantage of age, especially the girls, they will face more age discrimination.4. When you have the higher level of academic research, you will the less choice of the career. After graduation, faced with the fierce competition, you already can not give up your major.According to the advantages and disadvantages above, there are some recommendations for the college students who want to take the graduate examination.If you have a strong interest and a corresponding research capacity in one kind of professional knowledge, then you should make further study and achieve your goal. But if you take the examination only to alleviate the employment pressure, I think, you should look for the job after the graduation from the university, so you may not lose many opportunities to gain experience.In addition, age sometimes is one kind of advantage. You will have the chance when you make a mistake if you are young. But these chances will be reduced once you step into the society when you are elder. Just imagine, a company will forgive your mistake easily if you are in your twenties, but it is hard to forgive a man in his thirties for the same mistake.
