Salary or Interest
Upon graduation,virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice.It is truly a tough choice.Students’ opinions differ greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to their interest in jobs,but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices.
As to myself,I prefer the latter view.A well paid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people,with no exception to me.Although it might be impossible to measure the value of one’s job in terms of money,salary counts most when I choose my future career.In my view,our career choices largely depend on how and where we have been brought up.I come from a poor urban family and my parents were both laid off workers.In order to finance my tuition,they have been working hard over the past four years.As the only son in my family,I have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family.In short,salary is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.
Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years,getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite possibly,you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon.First,it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admission expansion of colleges,a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market.How can one make himself more competitive?More certificates at hand,maybe.Second,diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability.In order to increase the qualifications for a job,the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view,we should be more rational when it comes to certificates,since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability.Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time.To conclude,we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.
