At the beginning of the new year, experts came out to "do the whole job" again. Recently, Dr. Deng, the vice president of a public fund, caused a heated discussion around the remarks that young people complained about their low income and dared not spend. Dr. Deng thinks that many young people are really disgraceful now. When they have no money to spend, they feel that their parents give too little, that the wages given by the bosses of enterprises are too low, but they rarely reflect on whether they are not competent enough. For example, because my professional quality and personal ability level are not enough, I have such a low salary. He also said that in fact, for many young people in China, living in Thailand or Vietnam at the same point, people may be as capable as half their salary.

The implication of experts is that the wages of young people in China are not low, and the low wages are also their own reasons, and they are more than the lower ones. In fact, they are high. Coincidentally, earlier, some experts suggested that young people should not choose jobs for money, and graduates should not consider how much money they can earn. Instead, they should devote themselves to what they like at this stage before the age of 3. The salary is enough to meet the basic needs of life, and work should be combined with their hobbies. Do these remarks of experts sound familiar with the flavor of "why not eat minced meat"?

In recent years, the word "expert" has gradually become anti-intellectual and stigmatized, and there are some reasons behind it. Although most experts have struggled all the way, after being in today's high position, they tend to selectively forget the hardships of the past, so they can't feel * * * with the audience, and they are too lazy to empathize.

In the above case, the reason is simple. For the same job, it is true that young people in Thailand or Vietnam can do it at half the salary, but the prices and consumption standards, especially the house prices, in Thailand and Vietnam are obviously very different. After the equivalent replacement, even if young people in Thailand and Vietnam only get half the salary, it may be equivalent to young people in China getting a high salary. Different socio-economic conditions and stages of development are different, so we can't compare them casually and criticize others for being melodramatic simply because young people complain a few words.

As for job choice, which graduate doesn't want to combine work with hobbies, and need not worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Is there a choice? Work is cruel, and most people can only choose passively, especially at the stage of entering the workplace, which is more important, hobbies or decent income. I believe many people have experience. Parents' expectations and all kinds of expenses in life can be described as real, and they must get used to working hard under pressure. The difficulties of young people are obvious, and this situation is believed to be experienced by people who have experienced it.

Of course, the salary is the most direct reflection of whether young people are competent enough, but the problem is that everyone is facing severe competition. Even if young people are competent enough, there are not many enterprises that can pay sky-high salaries to select outstanding talents like Huawei. This is largely determined by the logic of the market. Even if you graduate from a prestigious school, you have to go through the baptism of the market. In reality, some young people who had higher expectations can only "roll" in the industry with a lower salary.

although we often hear that people in the industries of take-away, express delivery, nanny housekeeping, etc. earn more than 1, yuan a month, whether it is official data or third-party statistics, the monthly income exceeds 1, yuan or even 8, yuan, which has already surpassed the average of all regions in China. The monthly salary of 5, seems not high, but it has long been reminded that this figure is already in the middle and upper reaches among the 1.4 billion people, which is determined by the stage of social development. Everyone faces different problems, so it is obviously biased to simply blame the low salary on personal ability.

With more similar news, young people are also calm, and they all think that the expert's advice is "really good", so don't give it next time. Experts who are outspoken and angry young people, the external feeling of "sea water on one side and flame on the other" is not impossible to change. Young people can be flames. It is believed that relying on individual unremitting efforts will achieve an upward breakthrough in personal salary and level, especially not to let yourself fall into the misunderstanding of reading uselessness because of temporary dilemma. Experts, on the other hand, can be seawater, which should be used to break through their own horizons and strive for more possibilities for ordinary young people who work hard. This is the responsibility that professionals should have.

Now all sectors of society are helping young people, especially college graduates, and their difficulties cannot be ignored. Viewed from this angle, the above-mentioned experts have turned their focus upside down, staring at young people to be demanding and forgetting their grievances and complaints when they were young.
