Why do people go to school?

According to the popular saying nowadays, knowledge can change destiny.

This point is especially important for people from ordinary families, Wu Minxia back then, Liu Xuewen was the same, and Wu Xiaozheng before rebirth, the reason why they went to school was that they were eager to learn knowledge to change their fate.

But this point is not of much significance to the reborn Wu Xiaozheng, because even if he no longer goes to school, his existing knowledge and experience are enough to ensure that he will succeed again in his career.

For the family?

No, Wu Xiaozheng believes that as long as he wants, it is not difficult to find a good woman to start a family.

In this way, it should be for the sake of experience.

Judging from Wu Xiaozheng's previous life, his career can be regarded as a success, but his family is in a mess, and what makes him feel most regrettable is his experience.

Because of many things that happened in junior high school, Wu Xiaozheng embarked on a completely different path from others, on this road, he was full of anger and resentment, and walked very lonely, which had a great impact on his future character and behavior, and also made him regret it.

At the reunion of later generations, his classmates envied him for his successful career, but he was envious of the health and integrity of his life experience.

When he saw his classmates happily talking about their school experiences, he was jealous because his normal middle school career was only the first year and a half, and the subsequent experiences were all distorted.

Wu Xiaozheng understood that the reason why he was still obsessed with going to school was that he wanted to have a complete student experience to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

The most important thing is that the next semester is the key to a big turning point in Wu Xiaozheng's life in his previous life, if Wu Xiaozheng doesn't go through it anymore and experiences it again with the mentality of an adult, then his rebirth will not be in vain!

It's still the same sentence, what you want is what you want.

For Wu Xiaozheng, he will not lack a sense of accomplishment in his career, but if he does not go to school, he will lack this normal experience.

That's the real reason why he wants to go to school again, all for no regrets.

He even wondered if the famous Bill Gates regretted dropping out of school at that time after his success?

It's an inexplicable thing because everyone thinks differently.

Wu Xiaozheng decided to confirm this answer with Yu Jun again.

"If you had a career right now that would make you hugely successful, would you still go to school?"

Yu Jun was in a hurry again, and this time he didn't rush to answer.

After thinking about it, he said, "No." ”

And he immediately gave an explanation: "Going to school is for a career, and since I can already be successful, why should I waste time going to school? Spend four or five years going to college, just to get a diploma, but if I have a successful career, that diploma doesn't mean much to me." ”

Wu Xiaozheng has to admit that Yu Jun's words have a certain amount of truth, which is very consistent with a popular point of view, that is, the theory that reading is useless.

This is an interesting paradox.

Wu Xiaozheng knew that from the founding of New China to the time when he jumped off the building in his previous life, there were three trends of thought that "reading is useless."

The first time was in the late stage of the "Cultural Revolution", which culminated in Zhang Tiesheng handing over a blank paper and going to university. In those years, "I am Chinese, why should I learn a foreign language, do not learn ABC, and still do revolution" became the mantra of the vast number of young people, schools were suspended, students were suspended, and intellectuals were "stinky old nine" and became the target of criticism.

The second time appeared in the late 80s and early 90s, in the early days of reform and opening up, that is, in the current era.

The most typical mantra is "It is better to build an atomic bomb than to sell tea and eggs, and it is better to hold a scalpel than to have a razor."

This is a phenomenon and a fact.

In the wave of reform and opening up, many people who had not read much and had not entered the so-called "units" such as state-owned institutions and collectives were the first to enter the ranks of self-employed individuals and became rich through hard work.

However, due to institutional and other reasons, professors, doctors, teachers, civil servants, engineers, etc., still receive fixed salaries that have not changed much in the unit, and the income gap between those self-employed is very obvious, resulting in an extreme psychological imbalance, which once again breeds the "theory that reading is useless".

This kind of controversy has been hyped up by the people, and it has a tendency to become more and more intense.

Obviously, Yu Jun is one of the supporters.

In fact, this "theory of the uselessness of reading" will continue in the future.

The third climax of the "uselessness of reading" will occur around 2010.

By that time, the university had long since been free of allocation, and the dream of rural students to change their fate by relying on the college entrance examination had become a bubble, and the high university tuition fees made it difficult for poor families to afford, and the phenomenon of spending huge sums of money but not finding a job after graduating from college had made the proportion of rural students giving up the college entrance examination as high as more than 30%.

In fact, in later generations, an ordinary college student looking for a job is far inferior to a technical school student with a skill, and even worse than a migrant worker who sells coolies, and even if he finds it, his income is far inferior.

Wu Xiaozheng has no intention of refuting this view, because he knows that if you start from a utilitarian point of view, the amount of study is not necessarily related to whether you can make money or whether your career can be successful, and as far as he knew in his previous life, many successful entrepreneurs themselves are not highly educated, including himself.

But now he has something to say to Yu Jun.

"You'll regret it!"

"Why?" Yu Jun was a little puzzled.

Wu Xiaozheng didn't answer directly, but asked another question: "Do you have many friends?"

Yu Jun shook his head and said, "Those classmates of mine are too naïve. ”

Wu Xiaozheng laughed again.

He knew that because of his family background, and Yu Jun himself was a little smart, he might be outstanding among his classmates, and such a person might lack friends, because he would become arrogant, he would become look down on others, and others would not look down on his lofty virtue.

Yesterday's Yu Jun put on such a posture.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled: "I'm already feeling sorry for you, I'm sure you will regret it in the future." ”

"Why?" Yu Jun said again.

Wu Xiaozheng said seriously: "In addition to career and success, family, friends and experiences are equally important in life. These seemingly naïve classmates of yours now, they will mature later, and if you have their friendship now, they will be your real friends in the future. It's a pity that you seem to have lost. ”

Yu Jun retorted: "I can also make real friends in society in the future." ”

"It's not the same. ”

You will find that those friends made in the society, because of the lack of common growth experience and common good memories, the purpose of their friendship with you is more utilitarian, and may not be able to stand the test of time and major events. ”

Yu Jun fell into deep thought again, because Wu Xiaozheng's statement was the same as what his cousin said last night.

What is a true friend?
