The Post-graduate Craze
Each year, millions of college students will sit in for the post-graduate entrance examination. More and more students have regarded the pursuing of a master degree as an indispensable part of their education.
What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma? First, it is the demand of the time. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society. Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more than ever. That is why many students will further their studies.
Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment, for example, better salaries, more opportunities for promotion and training. A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career.
Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce. One way to gain some advantage over others is to have a higher degree.
No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree.
考研熱
每年，成千上萬的大學生將參加的研究生入學考試。越來越多的學生認為追求碩士學位教育的不可缺少的一部分。
如何解釋他們的熱情為研究生文憑？首先，這是時代的要求。在這樣一個時代，知識更新和資訊爆炸，你學到大學難以滿足社會的.需求。高質量的人都配備了最新的知識和技能的人才將會比以往更需要。這就是為什麼許多學生將進一步研究。
其次，我們都知道你受的教育越多，你就越有可能成功。與那些沒有碩士學位，大師將享受更多的優惠，例如，更高的薪水，更多的機會宣傳和培訓。一個研究生學位可以保證更有前途的職業。
最後但並非最不重要的，隨著大量大學生畢業，工作競爭越來越激烈。為了獲得一定的優勢比其他的方法之一是有一個更高的程度。
難怪成千上萬的學生會考慮考研。
