The Craze of pursuing Graduate Studies 　　

Each year, millions of Chinese college students sit for qualifying examinations for graduate studies, primarily in Masters programs. Students prepare for those examinations either through years of arduous self-education or by spending large sums of money attending local training schools. The publishing of examinations-related study materials and the training programs offered, both online and offline, have combined to form a sizable industry. 　　

An alarming fact about this craze is that most students pursue graduate studies not out of their voluntary will. Faced with the harsh reality in the employment market, which is forever looking for graduates with higher degrees, many college graduates find going to graduate schools is a good way to avoid unemployment and to enhance ones competitiveness in future job hunting. 　　

However, without that voluntary initiative, most students who do enter graduate schools are not motivated. For them, the only thing that ultimately counts is the degree or the diploma which they expect could give them an upper hand against other job hunters. As to the actual substance of their graduate studies, its not a big deal for them, as long as it leads to that degree or diploma. It is really pathetic to see that students undertake graduate studies with an ulterior motivenot for the sake of loving what they study, but for the sake of merely landing a job, which in many cases might be unrelated to what they have studied. 　　

The chill truth is that students soon find their anticipations are a mere dream. As so many undergraduates proceed onto graduate studies, the employment situation remains as severe as ever. Instead of bringing about apparent competitive edges, two or three years of additional academic training is simply a waste of time and energy. They need to reflect on this craze and would have been better off distinguishing themselves with outstanding knowledge and skills when they were undergraduates.

每年，数以百万计的中国大学生参加研究生入学资格考试，主要是攻读硕士学位课程。学生准备考试的那些通过数年艰辛的自学，或通过花大笔的钱参加当地培训学校。与考试相关的学习材料的出版和提供的培训课程，无论线上线下，一起构成了一个规模可观的产业。

关于这股热潮，一个触目惊心的事实是，大多数学生读研究生不出于他们自愿。面对着就业市场的严峻现实，这是永远寻找学历高的毕业生，许多大学生发现，进入研究生院去是为了避免失业和提升未来求职过程中的竞争力的一个好方法。

然而，没有主动性，大多数的学生进入研究生院没有动机。对他们来说，唯一重要的是最终的学位或文凭，他们期望相比其他求职者这能给他们一个上风。至于他们研究的实际的物质，他们觉得没有什么大不了的，只要能拿到学位或文凭。看到他们为了这样一个目的，不是热爱他们所研究的东西，而是为了找一个好工作，还不一定是跟他们专业相关的，真的觉得他们好可怜。

令人寒心的事实是，学生们很快就会发现，他们的期望是一个单纯的梦想。因为如此多的大学生走上研究生这条路，就业形势会依然严峻。而不是带来明显的竞争优势，两年或三年额外的学术训练，简直是浪费时间和精力。当他们本科生的时候，他们需要反思这股热潮，要更好的区分自己卓越的知识和技能。
