答案 Post-graduate Craze Cools Off The post-graduate craze has long since been a hot issue on most campuses around the country. According to the statistics released by Shanghai Educational Test Institute, 79,299 students in Shanghai sat in for the post-graduate entrance exams in 2003, a dramatic rise of 32.6% over the previous year. The year of 2003 is the tenth year since the number of post-graduate test takers began to grow rapidly and steadily. However, since then, the rising line has gradually plateaued year by year, with a modest rise of 6.7%, 1.8%, 2.1% respectively in 2004, 2005, 2006. In 2007, the number of test takers even dropped by 6.5% in comparison with 2006. All these statistics point to an interesting phenomenon — the post-graduate test, after a ten-year craze, is starting to cool off. Three major factors account for the cooling off of the post-graduate craze. One is the post-graduate education reform. Post-graduate students used to enjoy a modest government subsidy for their three -year studies. But according to the new graduate program, they have to pay for all their living and learning expenses. Faced with the rising education costs, some students hesitate to apply for the test. Another factor is the pressure from the increasingly competitive job market. Many students used to believe that the more education they received, the better job opportunities they would have. With the expanded enrollment for both undergraduates and post-graduates, job hunt becomes more and more difficult. Many students fear that when they finish their post-graduate studies, the positions will have been already occupied. Moreover, many companies prefer experienced employees to new graduates who tend to know nothing but impractical book knowledge. As a result, some students decide to start work early so as to accumulate more work experiences. In my opinion, before we make the choice, we need to think twice. What kind of job do I really want to do? Does the job require practical work experience or theoretical knowledge? Can the graduate program offer what I want to learn? Our final decision should be based on our personal situations.
