Instead of focusing on "why to choose", it is better to focus on "why they can make a choice."
A few days ago, the news about two talents' job-hopping has been on the hot search list together, "subverting" the perception of ordinary people.
According to reports, Gao Feng, the former fund manager of the Index Investment Department of Harvest Funds, resigned after being admitted to the China Securities Regulatory Commission as a civil servant in the Issuing Supervision Department.
Gao Feng has a master's degree in finance from Peking University and has managed 19 funds.
On July 2nd, the product of Gaofeng as the fund manager Qiqi issued a fund manager change announcement. The announcement stated that Gaofeng had resigned due to personal reasons.
Also in recent days, the Education Bureau of Baiyun District, Guangzhou has announced a list of candidates to be recruited for doctoral postgraduates in 2021 openly recruiting teachers. One of them is Mr. Lai, an associate professor of Hebei University, and his proposed post is a physics teacher in primary and secondary schools.
According to the official resume, he has presided over 5 projects including the Special Scientific Research Fund Projects of the Ministry of Education for Doctoral Disciplines and the Natural Science Foundation of Hebei Province, and participated in 10 projects including the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
A master of Peking University and an associate professor are all high-level talents in the eyes of people.
The reason why their career choices have aroused heated discussions on the Internet stems from the impact of the "gap" in their cognition.
In ordinary people’s perception, university professors are higher than middle school teachers, middle school teachers are higher than elementary school teachers, and so on.
Fund managers are a typical high-income group. Mature fund managers' annual salary of one million may be just the beginning.
Nowadays, abandoning university teaching posts to teach in elementary and middle schools, leaving fund managers to be civil servants improperly, it is inevitable that this kind of "reverse flow" will impact public consciousness.
Therefore, some people feel that this is the "involution" of professional positions, and they think that it is also a kind of "laying flat". High-level talents reduce dimensionality and make life easier.
Is this view correct?
Obviously not.
The current society is becoming increasingly rich and diverse, which is reflected in the career orientation, that is, two-way or even multi-directional flow has become the norm.
Only when society has mobility can there be vitality, and only when there is mobility can there be progress.
People try different positions, whether it is advanced job-hopping or "counter-current" job-hopping, it is part of the normal state.
In fact, no job is easy, and no career can be laid flat.
Perhaps the income of some people in their new positions cannot be compared with the previous ones, but our evaluation of a profession should not only have money as a dimension.
Income, interest, social value and contribution, and even the location of work, are sufficient factors to consider in choosing a career.
If a person obeys his heart and chooses to pursue a career that he believes can be more valuable and reap a sense of accomplishment, he is also worthy of understanding and blessing.
For "fund managers taking civil service examinations" and "university associate professors hopping to primary and secondary schools", instead of focusing on "why to choose", it is better to focus on "why they can make a choice."
The so-called "reverse flow" is by no means lying down. Their past experience has witnessed their struggle, and struggle has given them the right to choose their lives.
And this should become our value orientation.
