In the past few months, many mainstream second-tier cities such as Changsha, Chengdu, and Wuhan have offered free houses, registered permanent residence, and money to attract college graduates. In fact, as early as when facing the college entrance examination application form, every friend whose score is hovering near the main line will encounter a similar problem: whether to choose a serious one in a second- and third-tier city, or choose a major in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. What about second-tier schools in first-tier cities?

I have also encountered this problem. I scored 21 points higher than the first-tier score in the college entrance examination. I originally planned to apply for a university in Beijing, but because my grades were not ideal, I couldn't choose a better university in Beijing. I could only choose the better of the two.

So I listened to my family’s opinions and chose a 211 university in a second-tier city. After graduation, I went to work in Beijing. I also regretted not choosing Beijing from the beginning, but going in the opposite direction.

For those who take the college entrance examination, applying for a volunteer is a tangled issue

I finally realized that the first one in the second and third tier cities or the second one in the first tier cities. The essence is to choose "first- and second-tier cities" and "first- and second-tier cities". Regarding this issue, everyone has their own different considerations. For this, we have made a comparison and analysis.

What can first-tier cities and second-tier and third-tier cities bring to you?

Many people say, "Choose a university and choose a city." When it comes to choosing a university, these people will prefer to choose first-tier cities. In their eyes, the resource advantages of the city are greater than the academic advantages of the school.

Take the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou as an example. In the list of universities announced by the Ministry of Education in 2017, there are 92 universities in Beijing and 67 undergraduate institutions (including first, second and third degree); Shanghai universities There are 64 colleges and universities in Guangzhou, including 38 undergraduate colleges and universities; there are 83 colleges and universities in Guangzhou, including 36 undergraduate colleges and universities.

These universities will implement "alliances" based on their different school-running characteristics. Students can study across schools and share educational resources to a certain extent.

First-tier cities have resources that second-tier and third-tier cities do not have

Xiao Nan originally studied at Beijing University of Graphic Arts, but she often went to Peking University to take classes. She completed the course by taking classes. A news commentary course offered by Cao Lin, chief commentator of China Youth Daily, at Peking University.

Teachers generally welcome students to attend classes. There is no distinction between one book and another in class. Everyone enjoys the educational resources of first-tier cities together, which is an advantage that second-tier cities do not have.

When you study in a big city like Beijing, you can go to the National Library to study on weekends, you can go to 798 to see exhibitions, you can go to Sanlitun to meet various celebrities, and you can go to attend professional lectures. This city has so much Public resources are available to you. In addition, big cities also provide a lot of internship and job opportunities.

According to incomplete statistics, there are 60 million registered companies across the country, including 8 million in Beijing alone. Beijing is the political and cultural center, and various industries such as the Internet, film and television media, and real estate are concentrated in Beijing. Shanghai is the economic and financial center, with investment banks, financial companies, and cultural industries all very developed.

Here, it’s easy to find internship and job opportunities, and it’s easy to work with great people. Every winter and summer vacation, first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou will welcome a large number of students studying in second- and third-tier cities. They choose to come here for internships during the holidays to find better jobs for themselves. Going to school locally can save a lot of living and transportation costs.

At the same time, this kind of experience can also "gold-plate" their resumes. Even if they return to work in second- and third-tier cities in the future, their internship experience in first-tier cities will make it easy for them to stand out and gain greater recognition. Choose space. And if you choose to study in a first-tier city from the beginning, you can start an internship in a large company from the beginning of your freshman year to expand your horizons.

Many people will give priority to employment in first-tier cities after graduation

Xiao Xue is now a junior, but has already worked in traditional media such as China Securities Journal, Internet company Sina NetEase, and startup company Logic Thinking internship. His internship positions were different each time, from reporter trainee to operations to product, and he tried every job he was interested in.

According to his words: "You won't know whether you like it until you try it. You can't wait until you graduate to try and make mistakes." In this way, he not only enriched his internship experience, but also increased his knowledge. Different companies have experienced different corporate cultures and are relatively mature. When he graduates, these experiences will provide him with more choices, and these are really only available in big cities.

No matter which city they come from, graduates will be more inclined to go to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. However, graduates who go to school in this city will be more likely to stay and work where the school is. Taking 2016 as an example, more than 50% of fresh graduates from Renmin University of China and Beijing University of Chemical Technology were employed in Beijing, and more than 60% of graduate students were employed in Beijing.

The report shows that 82.66% of fresh graduates chose to find employment in other places, and nearly 40% of them chose to stay in the city where the university is located; only 17.34% chose to return to their city of origin.

The proportion of people choosing first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen reached 43.75%.

In other words, if you choose a first-tier city to study at university, the probability of staying in a first-tier city to work is more than 50%. There are many job opportunities and relatively high salaries in big cities. Why not choose to stay?

Advantages of academic qualifications: How important is a book?

For some people, the reason why academic qualifications are more important than the city is that academic qualifications are the stepping stone to the future.

Is it reasonable for employers to set academic qualification thresholds? He Jia, editor-in-chief of gaming media 131, said: In the past, veterans generally had low academic qualifications because there were few talents at that time. Nowadays, academic qualifications are required to reduce the risk of recruiting people. I have interviewed many people who cannot even meet basic logical thinking skills and expression skills. How do I recruit people like this? Of course, the academic qualifications are low, but for capable talents, each company will definitely have special channels. Academic qualifications are not a rigid standard.

Academic qualifications are an invisible label in some matters. Some companies will also refer to academic qualifications when setting salaries. When employees compete for promotions, academic qualifications will also be a reference standard.

In job hunting, academic qualifications are a criterion for companies to consider

Of course, some people will say that although the competitiveness of a bachelor's degree in a second-tier city is not as good as that of a second-tier bachelor's degree in a first-tier city, this The first school is a real one, and the school’s educational resources and teaching staff are essentially different from those of the second school.

There are still many excellent teachers and scholars in a college in second-tier cities, and the resources and perspectives they can provide students cannot be underestimated.

For some graduates who have subject requirements but cannot enter the top school majors, some top-ranked schools in second-tier cities are still the best choice for many people. After all, major sometimes plays a decisive role in employment direction.

In 2017, the per capita monthly salary in these industries reached 10,000 yuan

Many second-tier cities have good exchanges and cooperation with foreign universities, and students can apply for exchange abroad. Moreover, the number of graduate school admissions in one school is much greater than that in two universities. If you choose a good primary school, you will have a greater chance of admission to graduate school, and you can also secure yourself into a better key university.

Many large companies still attach great importance to academic qualifications

A Yuan studied in a second school in Shanghai. Because the school did not have the opportunity to guarantee a postgraduate degree, the four roommates in his dormitory all chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. As a result, Only one person passed the exam; and the school I attended in a second-tier city had a star dormitory, and all four of them were admitted to 985 colleges.

This is the advantage of an institution. If you want to study for graduate school, an institution can provide more support than the resources provided by the city.

This is a difficult choice

For those friends who have faced the same choice, how are they doing now?

I interviewed people who have been in a dilemma about school choice, and each of us has a say in this matter.

@Summer Yiben from a second-tier city is currently working for an Internet company in Chengdu

I really wanted to go to Shanghai and liked Fudan University very much, but I didn’t do well in the college entrance examination. A dilemma arises. After struggling, I chose an insurance company in a second-tier city. After graduation, I returned to Chengdu to find a job. Overall, it went smoothly. It is true that many students stay and work locally after graduation, but when the time comes, they will still struggle with whether to stay locally, go home, or go to first-tier cities. You will find that this choice is not over at all.

@xiaoshu a second-level student in Shanghai now works for an Internet company in Beijing

I repeated my studies for a year, but I didn’t do well in the exam in the first year, so I could only go to a local first-level or third-level course. My family strongly urged me to go to a big city to study, so I repeated my studies for a year and passed the first-level and second-level courses in Shanghai. Shanghai is indeed different from my family. During the four years I studied in Shanghai, I completely changed from my appearance to my mind. After graduating, I worked in Beijing. I am very grateful for my four-year university experience in Shanghai, which completely reshaped me. So I feel that as long as you break through the restrictions and come to a big city to accept changes, there will be no limits in life.

@之江三级城二本 currently works for a company in Beijing

My goal was to go to a university in Beijing, but I didn’t get into it, so I had to study Erben at home. Later, I took the postgraduate entrance examination in Beijing and still failed, so I came directly to work in Beijing. I yearn for big cities, but I think my university is pretty good. I just think that if I had gone to Beijing to study at university, it might be easier to do some things now.

So, everyone has their own considerations when it comes to choosing where and what university to study.

In terms of teaching quality, one school in second- and third-tier cities is not necessarily worse than one in first-tier cities. In comparison, the atmosphere of the first store in second- and third-tier cities may be better than that of the second store in first-tier cities.

Considering the cost of living, second- and third-tier cities are lower than first-tier cities, but at the same time, the richness of entertainment life will also be lower than first-tier cities.

From the perspective of urban development level, the development of second- and third-tier cities is indeed not as good as that of first-tier cities. Therefore, from an employment perspective, first-tier cities have greater development space, better platforms, more jobs, and even Higher pay.

From a practical development perspective, China's second- and third-tier cities are developing rapidly, and more talents are needed to support them during this period.

In the past year or two, second- and third-tier cities have introduced better talent policies and housing purchase policies to retain talents, which is very attractive compared to first-tier cities.
