It is not uncommon for young people born after 1995 to change jobs to pursue their own hearts and do jobs that make them happy.
But my friends, you must have rarely heard of the "weird" job hopping like this young lady below.
This 24-year-old post-95 generation studied at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and is a 211 graduate who once worked in the training department of a Fortune 500 company.
Recently, Xiaodai suddenly made a decision that left outsiders puzzled, which was to resign from that glamorous big company and join a housekeeping company to become a professional cleaner.
This shocked some people who knew her and couldn’t help but exclaim: Oh my God! Is this true?
Some people may say that Xiaodai was hot-headed and made this decision easily.
However, according to the little girl’s own words, the reason why she chose her current job is that she doesn’t like to talk. In the original company, the work intensity was very intense, almost 24 hours a day on standby. The huge physical and mental pressure made Xiaodai very painful. At one time, he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep. He was scared when he heard the WeChat notification sound. Sometimes she had to conduct online training, and giving speeches on stage was also part of her job. This kind of work mode made her very resistant, and she finally chose to leave her job and find a job that made her mind more relaxed.
As you can see, Xiaodai’s decision to quit her prestigious white-collar job in a Fortune 500 company and switch to a blue-collar job that mainly involves physical labor was not her temporary decision. It is a life and career path choice made after careful analysis of one's own strengths and weaknesses and careful consideration.
PART01
Family members should respect and support their children’s diverse career choices
The famous college students who graduated from 211 went to work as cleaners. For some people, this may be difficult to accept. In their view, they may feel that college graduates working as cleaners are overqualified and wasteful, because they believe college students should engage in higher-level or professional-related jobs.
One time when Xiaodai was doing a door-to-door order, he was asked three ridiculous questions by a young mother owner in succession: "Your parents know what you are doing now." "This?" "Why didn't you take the postgraduate entrance examination?" "Do you want to take the civil service examination?" Obviously, the subtext of this owner's question revealed an inherent prejudice that 211 graduates should not To do such a seemingly low-end job, you should choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the public service examination, or develop in a large company.
However, for other people, they may feel that cleaning students from prestigious universities does not mean that they are overqualified, because this profession also requires professional skills and long-term efforts, and not everyone can do it as outsiders imagine.
Especially when your children or the children of relatives and friends are seeking employment after graduation, and their choices and wishes conflict with traditional cognition, we hope that everyone can be more knowledgeable. Respect, understanding, care and tolerance.
If a child chooses to work as a cleaner, deliver express delivery, food delivery, or care for pets after graduation, and finds his or her own value and happiness in these professions, then as the child's family, we should respect and support them. s Choice.
PART02
Family members should support their children to jump out of their comfort zone
For every child who has received higher education, academic qualifications should not be a "concern". "Yiji's long gown", parents should support and encourage their children to recognize the reality and have the courage to step out of their comfort zone.
In today's society, it is undeniable that academic qualifications are indeed very important. As a stepping stone to finding a job, if you want a decent job, you must have an academic qualification, but academic qualifications should be a bonus in life rather than a "hole". "Yiji's long gown", especially in the context of the era when higher education is sinking from elite to mass, every graduating child must recognize the social reality.
For graduating children, it is of course best to find a job that satisfies themselves and their families, but don’t be limited by your academic qualifications and educational experience. While the pressure of social competition is high, there are also With more room for industry development, anxiety is inevitable. Don’t be held back by academic qualifications and inherent ideas.
The reason why Xiaodai’s job choice has aroused heated discussion reflects that many people nowadays cannot understand the diversified choices made by college students based on their own conditions.
Whenever the agent finishes the work, the owner praises and says, "You are indeed professional." The agent will feel very happy. However, even if many people do not understand college students like Xiaodai who make bold choices, they still hope that everyone can give recognition and encouragement, especially parents of college students, so as not to hurt their children's hearts because of their own incomprehension.
PART03
Everyone who works hard deserves respect and blessings
Everyone’s life path and pursuit are different.
We cannot simply use academic qualifications or occupation to measure a person's success. What’s more important is whether they are fulfilling themselves, making progress and feeling happy on their chosen path.
As long as young people rely on their hands to earn income and provide services to others, they will be able to obtain corresponding value.
There are many people with master's degrees and doctorates from prestigious universities who deliver food and express, and there are also many ordinary undergraduates who work in factories to "drill screws". Perhaps a large part of them are forced by the pressure of life. You have no choice but to choose jobs that are not suitable for you.
There are also some students who want to change their thinking, change their way of life, and choose jobs that make them comfortable and happy. However, these things may not be decent jobs in people’s inherent perception, so they will be criticized by others. Incomprehension or even discrimination.
As long as these older children who have just entered society are working hard, they all deserve respect and blessings.
Success has no definition, as long as it contributes value to society.
Everyone has their own way of living and pursuits. Some are ambitious, while others just want to live a plain life. Life only lasts a few decades. If you live a satisfied and happy life, then your life is not in vain.
Real life, be grateful for life.
Be yourself and live happily!
