A friend who graduated with a master's degree from a prestigious school spent all his time taking the civil service exam in Beijing, but his salary was not the rent, and food was a problem. In order to be more magnanimous in the future, he read a doctoral degree. He has been married for more than two years, and his wife is not too young. He is worried about missing the best reproductive period and is planning to have a child. All the situations piled up together, making him feel a lot of pressure.

He shouted: "I'm so poor, I'm so poor, if this goes on, I have to leave work and set up a street vendor to make a living." Then he added, "I want to quit my job, I knew I was so poor in Beijing, I might as well go back to my hometown along the coast to do something. Business."

In the end, he boiled it down to one sentence: "Alas, after reading books for so many years, why do you feel that the more you read, the poorer you are?"

These days, when it comes to wages, it is inevitable to feel a strong sense of grief. High prices, especially high housing prices, have made most of the "post-80s" a generation that has to "eat the old".

Everyone thinks that they earn less and don't have enough money to spend. This is especially true for people with higher education. They always feel that the salary they get is sorry for their nearly 20 years of hard study.

I am quite open to this question.

If a person keeps studying, he has no money.

Educational qualifications and ability may help us get a job with a good income, but after all, most industries cannot make us "rich", and everything is better than the other. The more you study, the higher the level of interpersonal circles you enter, which makes people with higher education more likely than the average person to feel that they earn too little money.

Someone once asked me, "Which is more important, 3 years of graduate school or 3 years of work experience."

I think this question is very interesting, because obviously, not everyone who is a graduate student has the opportunity and ability to study, but 3 years of work experience is something that everyone who has worked will have sooner or later.

However, when you enter the society after 3 years of postgraduate studies, those who have already entered the workplace after graduating from undergraduate are likely to have been promoted and raised their salary. From the perspective of "earning money", your starting point is not necessarily better than How tall is he. But your salary at this time may be a little more than the undergraduate students who entered the company with you in the same period. This can also be regarded as a kind of recognition and respect for higher diplomas by the society.

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress." This ladder is a spiritual and technical promotion, and has nothing to do with money. That being the case, why do they say that knowledge changes destiny?

Why do people read books? I understand it this way.

First, "reading" based on basic education is to relatively quickly master some necessary common sense of life that cannot be mastered only by daily experience, and some methods to solve specific problems in a limited time. Reading outside the classroom is an indispensable way for a person to expand their knowledge, study their areas of interest, improve their horizons, and develop their own careers. A person who can read can get his thoughts to get the help of his predecessors and go further on the spiritual level.

If you want to learn and do academic research, then you will probably be inseparable from books in this life. If you run a business and don't read the knowledge in the book, it's hard to say how big an impact it can have. Because "management" is originally a knowledge that can only be learned through practice, and no amount of talk on paper can produce gold.

Second, the national compulsory education and the college entrance examination that everyone has to go through actually gives us a transition period before we integrate into society, and it is also a watershed.

Through the college entrance examination and higher education, people are able to move between different classes of society. Therefore, knowledge can indeed change destiny, but it cannot directly bring money. If your purpose is to make money, then you should master a technology as soon as possible and invest in the front line of making money, instead of studying for a lifetime.

Whether a person is noble or not has nothing to do with his occupation, the key depends on what you want.

If you want to do learning and scientific research, you should keep reading; if you really want to make money, you must go into business and start a business. If you really want to be able to run a listed company, you must have extraordinary courage and wisdom beyond ordinary people. All that has nothing to do with how many diplomas you have taken, how many papers you have published, or how many world famous books you have read. But some people put the cart before the horse. The poor still keep thinking about how useful it can be to get rich by studying.

Maybe it's because our generation has always listened to adults saying "reading changes one's destiny" from childhood to adulthood, but no one has ever told us that reading is a luxury.
