Is the application for "teaching resources" just an extra career path?
In the past two years, the teacher qualification examination has become a "true fragrance" choice for many people.
In 2016, there were 2.6 million registered teachers for the teacher qualification examination. In 2017, it reached 4.1 million. By 2019, it has climbed to 9 million.
On the day of the teacher qualification certificate examination in the first half of this year, the online discussion directly sent the #教资# entry to the hot search on Weibo.
In stark contrast to the "teaching upsurge" is the unexpected "upset" of some teacher posts.
In the ranking of the nation's most lacking jobs in the third quarter of 2020 released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, elementary and middle school teachers are on the list for the first time.
People who are keen to test "teaching resources" do not seem to be all about becoming teachers, but with an attitude of "more choice" and "preparedness" and silently paved their career "back road".
Objectively speaking, which qualification certificate is sought after is a manifestation of the professional tendency of the society.
In our country, teachers have a high social status and relatively stable treatment guarantee. The unique advantage of winter and summer vacations has made many young people yearn for.
In recent years, the state has also paid special attention to education, and has repeatedly emphasized the requirements that "the wages of teachers in various regions should not be lower than that of civil servants" and "effectively reduce the burden on primary and middle school teachers."
There are more people applying for "teaching resources", which at least shows that the teaching profession is more respected.
However, for individuals, the tendency to squeeze wherever they are hot and go with the flow of research is too blind.
Certified Public Accountant Certificate, Legal Professional Qualification Certificate, Human Resource Manager Certificate...Many people who are keen on "collecting" certificates believe that more skills are not overwhelming, and more certificates can bring them a sense of fulfillment and future prospects. Sense of security.
However, in many cases, burying one's head in textual research is more to create an illusion that "I work hard", and it is also an escape from the bottleneck and predicament of the current career.
As a result, the "back road" has become more and more paved, and the "front road" has become increasingly confused.
In fact, after working for a few years, people will inevitably have a sense of job burnout, such as being stuck in day-to-day repetitive processes, finding challenges and breakthroughs in the job, and working overtime to "suspect life" and so on.
For these problems, the ideal solution is not to make detours at every turn and seek self-comfort through continuous research, but to face the heart and clarify their career plans.
If you look at it in the long run, the trivialities and difficulties in front of you are only temporary obstacles.
If you have determined your ambition to work in a certain field, then instead of distracting your energy and passively reserve “backup” options, you might as well adjust your emotions and move forward with a positive attitude.
If, after a rational analysis, you find that you are not suitable for the current "track", you must make a decisive decision. After you have a full understanding of the objective conditions of other industries, you should make more targeted preparations for a career change instead of "multiple research." "Widely cast the net."
Many times, when people are dissatisfied with the current professional situation, they often unconsciously add a layer of "beautiful filter" to other industries.
For example, in the eyes of many people who are keen to test "teaching resources", teachers mean "guaranteed income from droughts and floods", "get off work at the end of the day", and "don't worry."
These advantages are undoubtedly "fatal attraction" for some people who are in a startup company, are "serial call" by their boss at any time, or feel "emptied" by their work.
As everyone knows, to really do a good job of education, it is not as easy as imagined.
From mastering the learning situation and personality characteristics of each student to finding out scientific and efficient teaching methods, education needs to be continuously irrigated.
In lectures, hoarse voices, unusual busyness during exams, and the accumulation of clerical work from time to time are also the side that many grassroots teachers find it difficult for outsiders to work hard for.
If you just hold on to the beautiful imagination of the teaching profession and lack the enthusiasm and patience for "preaching to be puzzled by karma", then even if you finally enter the profession, it will be difficult to truly do well in this career, which is a delay to education and self.
In the professional life, the most important thing for people is to "know yourself".
Rather than go with the flow of research and lay a "runway" for yourself that you may never start at all, it is better to face your heart through the fog and make a more rational and pragmatic career plan and life choice.
