Should recent graduates go to a first-class design institute or become civil servants?
Thread Content
My nephew is a recent graduate, and he’s unsure whether to work at a top-tier design firm or to become a civil servant after graduation; I would appreciate some advice.
Personally, I would suggest becoming a civil servant; after all, there’s no need to worry about salary. It may be lower, but it’s paid on time, in full accordance with what is stipulated by labor laws. Take this pandemic as an example: aside from civil servants and those working in public institutions similar to civil service roles, as well as large state-owned enterprises, employees in all types of companies are worried about their salaries. Companies with strong financial resources find ways to cut costs in other areas, while those with moderate or weak financial conditions are forced to cut back on employee salaries, which is the most immediate area where cuts can be made
If the conditions at top-tier hospitals are good and stable, it’s better to go there; it’s better for boys to do practical work. Of course, personal interests also need to be taken into account; if one aspires to a career in government and has the potential, then becoming a civil servant is the natural choice. . .
Reality: Those in design firms want to become civil servants, while civil servants want to work in design
Indeed, it’s true that one mountain seems taller when viewed against another.
These days, there are many who pretend to be one thing but are actually something else. Don’t think that having an A-grade qualification makes someone outstanding, and don’t assume that being a civil servant means everything
Anyway, civil servants won’t be worse than those in design institutes. . . .
There was a student who studied cost engineering; right after graduating, he worked at a Class A design firm for two years, and later switched careers by becoming a civil servant.
