The employment environment in China is becoming increasingly harsh. Recently, a female postgraduate student who had just graduated released a video saying that in a job interview, she was offered a salary of only 2500 yuan (RMB). She had spent over 10,000 yuan per year on tuition, and she couldn’t help but cry out that educational qualifications are now too cheap.
A young Chinese woman with a delicate appearance posted a video on social media, revealing that she had graduated as a master’s student this year. She managed to secure an interview opportunity at a school, but the salary offered was only 2500 yuan. There was a three-month probation period, with only one day off per week and uncertain working hours, even having to attend evening self-study sessions just like other students.
Upon witnessing such treatment, the young woman couldn’t help but complain, saying, “This is outrageous! I might as well work as a waitress. Why are educational qualifications so undervalued these days?”
The video of the female master’s graduate complaining about the 2500 yuan salary quickly sparked a heated discussion. Afterwards, she posted another video response, explaining that she had originally just wanted to vent about the current job market and the undervaluation of educational qualifications, but she had not expected it to generate so much interest.
Some netizens criticized her for not being able to take off the “long gown of Kong Yiji,” to which she openly admitted that she indeed could not take it off due to a very practical reason. “I admit that I really can’t take it off because I spent over a decade on my education, seven years on my undergraduate and postgraduate studies, with an annual tuition fee of 10,800 yuan.” The low salary of 2500 yuan has truly made it difficult for her to accept.
She mentioned that she took a teaching exam for fresh graduates in July but did not pass. Feeling drained from the process, she expressed that she does not want to take the exam again.
The job-seeking experience of this female master’s graduate has struck a chord with many young people in China. Some netizens expressed their own anxieties, with one saying, “I am a doctoral student, and now every day I am anxious about not being able to find a job…”
Previously, another female master’s graduate had posted a video crying about not being able to find a job and questioning the value of going to college.
