Chapter 583: Graduation Season
The graduation season at Japanese universities is in March and September, respectively. The reason for the two months is that different universities have different enrollment times for freshmen.
Rena Fujiwara's Seikei University is in the graduation season of this school. She is already a senior and is about to graduate.
Often, before the fresh college graduates leave the campus completely, in addition to being busy looking for a job, they are left to eat "casual meals". Japanese college students need to eat N meals of "loose meals".
A class needs to eat, a major needs to eat, a club needs to eat (if you participate in several club activities in college, you will eat more), and good friends need to eat......
Once this officially enters the society, the social attributes and identity of the whole person will completely change. I am no longer a college student, but as a member of society, I am busy trying to survive is the first priority.
For non-Tokyo residents, if they want to stay in Tokyo and work without going back to their hometowns in the countryside, they naturally have to work harder than their local classmates.
New university graduates in Japan know that if they are separated, they will never see each other again. Even if you have a good relationship during college, you will still face going your own way.
College couples face choices and trade-offs. Graduation means breaking up, which is not a joke, but a real stage at this time.
It's not like men and women need to say goodbye to a life chapter or dislike each other. They have begun to realize that love is really vulnerable in the face of reality, and sometimes.
Especially after graduates from non-prestigious universities graduate, it becomes even more difficult. The pressure on them to survive in the future will not be small.
If you don't have a family in Tokyo, you have to stay in Asia's number one city to work and live, and just having to deal with the bills at the end of the month can be stressful.
Graduates of prestigious universities will have at least one regular meeting every year based on connections, interests and other connections. Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future.
Whether a person, especially a man, can get ahead, in the past, it was basically around 30 years old, but now it has become about 35 years old, or even about 40 years old.
The reason for this is due to the delay in retirement. If the old guys don't retire, the seats won't be vacant. If the people in front don't vacate their positions, how can the people in the back have a chance to get on the top?
Not a fresh graduate of a prestigious university, and not to mention that he is unemployed after graduation. Most of them are confused about where they are going or what they want to do in the future.
Even if a small number of people have a clear understanding of themselves or a certain plan, they will continue to be frustrated for various reasons.
This often happens, what they look up to, others don't look down on them, and what they don't look down on, others may not look down on them.
However, as long as you are young, there is definitely a job in today's Japanese society. Restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets...... There is still a shortage of labor in these places.
It's just that young Japanese people are not willing to do those jobs from the bottom of their hearts. Even if there are only people who have graduated from junior high school, even if they do, it is still with a kind of forced and helpless, after all, people have to eat!
In the eyes of today's young Japanese, not only are they undignified and can see the bottom at a glance, but they also have low incomes and no social status, and are generally looked down upon.
Those with high incomes need to endure hardships even if they do not have requirements for academic qualifications. They can't endure hardship. Doing heavy physical labor is also a job that I don't want to do.
There is no need to engage in heavy physical labor, work long hours, and there are no so-called holidays, such as truck drivers, taxi drivers...... It is also something that young Japanese people are reluctant to take the initiative to do.
In their minds, that is the occupation that middle-aged and elderly people should engage in. If a young person like himself does it, he will inevitably be ridiculed by his peers.
In short, they would rather be a cowherd than do those jobs so much that they don't know where they are, and they have a better future.
If the parents in the family have a pension, and he is the only child, then nine times out of ten such a person will choose to be an otaku.
Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for fresh graduates from non-prestigious universities to get an official offer from a local Japanese company.
If you still want to join a major company as a full-time employee, it will be more and more difficult. This is a difficult thing for fresh graduates from prestigious universities.
However, Japanese college graduates generally have an unprecedented attachment to the full-time employees of large-scale companies, which is far better than the civil service examination in the past.
On the one hand, it is decent, with high social status, good income, and sound benefits, and on the other hand, the company has strong stability, is not easy to go bankrupt, and will not easily lay off employees.
Public servants in Japan, especially local civil servants, are no different from ordinary employees. This is often the person at the end of the crane who likes to take the test.
Except for some central cities, Japan is not very good. Like Karuizawa Town, it is one of the very few.
The salaries of local civil servants are closely related to local finances, and it is absolutely not because they are all mayors of the same level and village chiefs of the same level, and the town chief will get the same annual income.
Not to mention the mayor of Yubari City, Japan's first bankrupt city, even the vast majority of mayors in Japan do not have as high annual incomes as the mayors of Karuizawa Town.
Although Japan's political system is capitalist, it is divided into many autonomous organizations. Local governments do not pay local taxes, and some even require subsidies from the central government.
Because the finances of each local government are different, there are many differences. Even within the same city, there are differences. Minato-ku, Tokyo, provides free dental cleanings twice a year for residents of the area.
It is the only one of the 23 wards in Tokyo. Even Chiyoda Ward and Chuo Ward only offer free teeth cleaning once a year.
Other wards, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Setagaya, and Bunkyo, offer an annual scaling for a nominal fee of 500 yen.
As for the poor areas of Adachi and Arakawa Ward, even if they still provide annual cleanings, they will have to charge more.
This does not include the various check-ups for women once a year, which are still free in Minato-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Chuo-ku, while other wards are charged.
More expensive vaccines, such as those for the prevention of uterine fibroids in women, are only charged at the lowest price, even if they are not free.
