4. Are college students inferior to migrant workers?

Lead:

In today's society, college students are no longer the "pride of the sky" in the past, and even migrant workers can "speak on the same day" as them, is this a euphemistic exaggeration or an absurd reality? Who is the resounding "slap in the face" to college students who are falling to the point where they are today? Whose face should this "slap" be slapped? Should we be happy for the "migrant workers" or sad for the "college students". Who is to blame for the embarrassing situation of college students? From the perspective of college students' survival skills and psychological endurance, the survival ability of "college students" in the workplace is far inferior to that of migrant workers who have a craft.

According to China Youth Daily, "college students are not as competitive as migrant workers. "In 2008, the number of graduates from ordinary colleges and universities in China reached 5.59 million, an increase of 640,000 or 12.9% over 2007. China is still facing relatively heavy employment pressure, which is manifested in the fact that the outstanding contradiction between the quality of workers and structural adjustment has not been fundamentally alleviated; The low employment rate of the new labor force, especially college graduates, is becoming increasingly prominent.

For example, the average salary of graduates in Beijing is 1200-1500. Second- and third-tier cities will be reduced accordingly. The wages of migrant workers are usually 100-150 yuan a day, and the monthly salary is 3,000-4,500 yuan. This is a very cruel social reality, when a family invests a lot of money to train a college student, and the return given to the college student is such a low return.

Regarding this phenomenon, some people will say that it is normal for college students to have a low salary after graduation, and it will gradually increase in the future. But in fact, the traditional Chinese concept is that buying a house and getting married, and no matter how much the wages of college students rise, they can't keep up with the housing prices, and most migrant workers have no intention of settling down in a certain city. Therefore, in terms of happiness index, the happiness index of migrant workers is as high as that of ordinary college students.

In today's society, college students are no longer the "pride of the sky" in the past, and even migrant workers can "speak on the same day" as them, is this a euphemistic exaggeration or an absurd reality? Who is the resounding "slap in the face" to college students who are falling to the point where they are today? Whose face should this "slap" be slapped? Should we be happy for the "migrant workers" or sad for the "college students". Who is to blame for the embarrassing situation of college students? From the perspective of college students' survival skills and psychological endurance, the survival ability of "college students" in the workplace is far inferior to that of migrant workers who have a craft.

What is "talent"? Talent is a worker who has a skill and can play a role in social production. In this sense, as long as you are a person with the ability to work, no matter what your identity and gender are, as long as the value of your labor can be recognized by society, you are a "talent". There was a time when a large number of "peasants" flocked into the city, carrying the fragrance of the earth, and the city people avoided it. The look of contempt and cynicism did not scare away these "mud legs". It is precisely because of the spirit of the "peasant workers" who are not afraid of dirty, tiredness, can endure shame, have the courage to bow their heads, and endure hardships and stand hard work that the "peasant workers" have firmly gained a firm foothold in the cities.

People always say that "labor is the most glorious", maybe the psychology of "migrant workers" is not so complicated, they only think about how much return can be exchanged for today's labor. There is not much knowledge, but there is strength. In fact, we have always despised these "floating special groups" in the cities, and when China's cultural and educational process is advancing rapidly, we have always used "ignorance and ignorance" to measure the "migrant workers" group.

The popularization of compulsory education, the rapid spread of information technology, and the transmission of culture such as radio and television have made it impossible for peasants and urban people to have a fundamental "gap" in ideological and cultural awareness. Between urban and rural areas, the only thing that remains is the incomplete "household registration system" and the irrational urban and rural "public finance" coverage system. For decades, the people of the city have retained a superior arrogance. Because the number of migrant workers is too large, sometimes it even affects the environmental health of the city and becomes a hidden danger to public security, which has attracted a small number of urban people to have a reason to ridicule and despise the "peasants".

To this day, the call for fairness and justice calls for breaking down the urban-rural divide and unreasonable income distribution. However, the people in the city are still unwilling to give up the opportunity to be above the "peasants" and are still trying their best to make a final defense for the maintenance of their dying "hukou identity". Naturally, college students are "city dwellers", and a considerable number of them are from rural areas. For quite some time, the children of the peasants aspired to go to college and become city dwellers. Going to university as a "top student" has been prevalent in rural areas for a long time, which shows the extraordinary status of college students.

Historically, people have had a habit of making a mistake if they read too many books, and intellectuals mostly look down on laborers, and college students often regard themselves as nobler than peasants. However, today is different, under the pressure of difficulty in finding employment, many children who have come out of rural areas to go to university have asked to change their "household registration" into peasants because they have been unable to find a job for a long time, so that they will also have a contracted land to make a living. People often say that the world is impermanent, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Today, it is finally the turn of the "migrant workers" to look at the "college students" on the sidelines.

The reason why migrant workers are more competitive than "college students" is that "migrant workers" are not greedy, they will not give up as long as they have the opportunity to work, and they are not afraid of dirty, tired, and bitter. This spirit of hard work, regardless of remuneration and gain or loss, has won the job market. Most of the "college students" are the only children in the family, who have been in school and are pampered. Due to the serious social differentiation and the huge disparity between the rich and the poor, the society is not able to provide abundant jobs for every college student. College students, who are accustomed to a leisurely and comfortable life in the metropolis, do not know what they can do when they look for a job after graduation; The second is to fantasize about high treatment and respect from the beginning. In the end, in the cruel social and professional competition, college students face huge problems in employment and survival.

Of course, there are also people who say that it is nonsense to compare college students with migrant workers. This is a derogatory disparagement of the university student group and a trampling on the national education system. In any case, college students are more knowledgeable and creative than migrant workers, and have development potential. The serious "employment pressure" faced by college students is temporary, or it can be said that there is a staged imbalance in social development, and it cannot be said that college students as a whole are inferior to "migrant workers". "Heroes are not judged by success or failure", there are many outstanding elements among college students, and all college students cannot be allowed to compete with migrant workers for "construction workers" or "garbage removal workers". If college students and migrant workers are asked to compete for food, it can only mean that the situation of national education and economic development is very bad.

It is true that college students find it difficult to find employment, but it is more due to the mistakes of the university's education system and the irrational development of the country's economic structure. Whose fault is it that several years of university education have wasted the youth and financial resources of college students, and in the end they have not been able to fully work and be employed? Why can't social and economic development have sufficient employment opportunities and jobs for every college student to find employment?

We have been emphasizing the importance of university enrollment and education, but in the end, college students are facing the crisis of "not being able to get married". If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. "It's better to marry well than to do well," says a female college student. More female college students act as "second wives", "mistresses" or "prostitutes", and have to do this for the sake of tuition, for tragic reasons. This is a deformed social phenomenon with more economic causes.
