【畢業後該先讀研究所,還是先工作呢?|為什麼我們總是害怕來不及?】自由工作者問答系列
-
大學畢業後到底該繼續念研究所「取得碩士學位」,還是先「出社會卡位」呢?這是很多年輕朋友們在大三、大四時無比苦惱的問題。最近國內外研究所申請結果陸續放榜,幾家歡樂幾家愁,這個時候大家肯定會覺得考沒考上攸關生死。但是放心吧!讀了研究所不會讓你瞬間能力身價翻漲,沒考上研究所其實也真的不會怎麼樣,拉長遠來看簡直完全沒有什麼大不了的。

(PS. 其實這題是一位讀者幾個月前在IG私訊中問我的問題,謝謝你。不好意思我對於這個問題思考了很久,想寫篇文章回覆,但之前卡了很多事情和工作,所以拖了這麼久才寫出來。🙈🙈🤣)
-
-
一、人生不用總是「害怕來不及」,搶先奔向終點也不過就是死亡而已(被集體毆打🙈🤣🤣)。
-
「先讀研究所」的人怕來不及在職場上搶得先機;「先工作」的人又怕趕不上已經獲得碩士學位的同儕們。為什麼我們總是在「害怕來不及」呢?
-
我一直很喜歡我床上那隻大野狼衣服上所寫的話:
-
「Don’t take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway!~(人生呀!活得那麼嚴肅幹什麼呢?反正也沒有人會活著走出去!🤪🤣)」
-
<特別感謝大野狼陪我拍攝一列意義不明的中二照。XDD🤣🤣>
-
最近身邊發生了一些難過的事情,更是讓人深深感慨生命的脆弱。但換個角度想,我們終免不了一死,不論人生長短,只要能活得精彩、開心,愛過人也被人深愛過,這麼多人記著、念著,也不枉此生到這個世界上走一遭了。大家都要好好照顧自己,「日日是好日」珍惜、享受的過好每一天啊!
-
「盲目衝刺」所到達的終點不見得會是「自己想要的」。與其過分嚴肅的逼死自己,有時候適時的浪費一點人生其實也是挺不錯的!😆💕
-
舉例來說:
-
我當然很想要讓自己用心經營的這個「野放上班族」平台趕快破萬人追蹤、破十萬破百萬人追蹤,然後每次分享都收到如雪片般飛來的熱烈迴響!!!! (哈哈哈哈哈不小心說出心聲🤣🤣🤣🤣) 但比起追求快速的成功,我更享受一切的過程。如果這個平台一下子太夯,而我卻還沒有準備好自己,沒辦法定期產出足夠豐富的高品質內容、無法兼顧和粉絲們的深層互動,或追不上平台演算機制與操作技巧的日新月異,那麼「過早的成功」也會「難以長久維持」。
-
先停下來想一想:「你為什麼念研究所(或為什麼不念研究所)吧!」。不要給我一些「爸媽叫我繼續念」或「念完出路可能會更好」的答案,那都是別人的想法,那你自己呢?你是怎麼想的?照著「社會的期待」衝太快,反而最容易「忽略了自己內心的聲音」。
-
比如:
-
剛出社會的我,在職場上埋頭苦幹,好想向全世界證明自己,好想成為讓親戚、朋友們都刮目相看的職場強者,最好是能有一份「體面的工作」,在大公司上班、薪水越高越好,然後持續追求加薪與升遷...。
-
可是有一天靜下來,突然發現:如果我照著這條路徑跑,做得很好的話就可以變成像我現在的「小主管」一樣,繼續再做得更好更好的話就可以變成像我現在的「大主管」一樣。
-
嗯...我猶豫了,大主管和小主管們都是很厲害又值得尊敬的人,可是我突然驚覺這樣「垂直發展的職涯路徑」好像並不是自己想要的。我一點也不想管理人、管理公司,一點也不想和冰冷的營業數字為伍,然後拼命從中找到足夠證明自己「領導有方」的證據去告訴老闆我真的值這份薪水。
-
相反的,我更喜歡「實際操作的過程」與「在實務專業能力上的自我提升」;喜歡分享、喜歡以學術的角度研究新知識,然後用它們去為社會解決問題。還有,比起追求每天待在豪華辦公室裡享受「上班族的一切方便與福利」,我更嚮往「全然獨立自主的自由」。
-
所以我停下腳步,然後在深入了解自己之後充滿自信的轉換跑道,成為「小小博士生」與「自由工作者」,同時認真經營「個人品牌」平台,直到現在都一點也沒有後悔當初的選擇。如果我當時瘋狂的趕往終點而沒有停下來,又怎麼會知道原來人生還有這樣的風景呢?
-
-
二、「碩士學歷」對「找工作」與「薪水」會有幫助嗎?
在大部分的情況下,碩士學歷對找工作的「加分」的確是會有的,「加薪」也是很常見的事情,但並不是絕對。而且以台灣職場現況來看,大學和碩士學歷的「起薪差別」大多也不過就是一開始的「幾千塊」罷了!(PS. 感謝網友補充,「理工科系」的工作可能會差比較多,有時也可能差到幾萬塊喔!🙈🤣🤣)
-
如果你真的完全只是為了這點而讀研究所,甚至出國留學的話,那麼「投資報酬率」很有可能會讓你大失所望。
-
像我英國碩士畢業回台後,在「行銷領域相關工作」求職所獲得的offer大概是「平均月薪4-6萬」。而有些比較厲害的同學,「大學畢業」馬上開始找工作,獲得的offer一樣也是「起薪4-6萬/月」。所以說文憑只是個敲門磚,並非一切的保證。如果只是為了「薪水」的話,那麼「找對職務 & 產業/公司」、「能力夠強」、「懂得談薪水和跳槽」...等等,可能對加薪的幫助還更大!
-
不過有些「高階主管職」、「特定職務類型」或「比較傳統的產業」,的確是會「直接要求學歷」,或因為一個人的學歷而更加重視、信任他。但職場上「長久的尊敬」,還是要靠自己的「實力」和「作為」來真正贏得!「文憑」在求職上簡單來說,就是在大家還沒真正認識你之前,所看到的一層華麗外衣。的確有用,但必要的程度就端看個人了!
-
-
三、「先讀研究所」和「先工作」的好處分別有哪些?
-
1. 「先讀研究所的好處」:
-
「學習本身」就是一件很驚喜、快樂的事情,尤其是在研究所的期間,你可以有「充分的時間」去更「深入鑽研自己感興趣的領域」。如果你已經出社會過了就會知道,這是多麼難得又珍貴的時光啊!!!🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥 尤其當你真的很喜歡一門知識的時候,一切過程都會是無比浪漫的!
-
以我自己的經歷看來,研究所的教育和大學真的很不一樣。不會有人告訴你一定要學什麼東西、一定要做什麼研究題目,教授也沒有義務要告訴你「該做什麼」或「該怎麼做」,更多的是「”全然自主” 的學習與探索」。所以在英國研究所期間,我大部分都是在「自學我想學的知識」、「研究我想研究的問題」,然後「應徵我想嘗試的實習工作」...。畢業之後確實發現自己更加獨立、自信,能力上也更準備就緒了!(不過研究生生活各有各的過法,也很難保證每個人的收穫都會是一樣的。🙈🤣)
-
另外一個先讀研究所的好處就是,你可以獲得1~2年類似「Gap Year」的「自我探索時間」。讓你可以放慢腳步,一邊精進某一個感興趣的專業領域,一邊思考人生!
-
很多台灣學生都是聽從家人和社會的期待一路讀到大學。突然問他「畢業以後想做什麼」,許多人還真的會一時答不出來。所以能在「出社會前」,偷得一些「摸索與思考的時間」還是很棒的!
-
不用太擔心自己繼續升學,會趕不上已經出社會的朋友們。有時候「慢慢來,會更快」。年輕時的我們總是習慣一個勁的往前衝,瘋狂參加活動、玩社團、實習、參加商業競賽、申請出國交換、各種國際志工,研究所也是一窩蜂的使勁往上讀,因為看見「身邊的人都這麼做了」,自己不做就好像「落後了」一樣。但「忙碌並不等於精彩」,很多時候我們就只是喜歡讓自己瞎忙,多去體會做完這些之後「收穫、思考、釐清了些什麼」才是重點!
-
還有一件很重要的事情是,建議大家研究所至少一定要選一個「自己喜歡的領域」,然後大力利用這段期間去「嘗試各種感興趣的事物」,培養「自己找答案的能力」,同時「多利用實作去學習」。這對「釐清未來方向」會很有幫助。畢竟生活都已經被他人主宰到大學畢業了,難道還不能過回自己的人生嗎?(20歲之後你就完全成年且自由嘍!🙈🤣🤣💕🍻🍻)
-
-
2. 「畢業後先工作的好處」:
-
如果你真的很不喜歡讀書、覺得「課堂式的學習」十分枯燥乏味,或很想趕快出社會實際工作、經濟獨立的話,大學畢業後「直接進入職場」體驗最真實的世界,然後從經驗與挫折中去學習也是非常棒的選擇!
-
職場上有很多「有趣的面向」,也有一些非常衝擊的「震撼教育」,這種經驗式的學習是最有感也最記憶深刻的。先出社會的你,比直接繼續升學的朋友們,擁有「更充分的時間」去適應這個職場與社會,然後慢慢站穩腳步。
-
離開校園進入職場,是真的會「一點一滴的改變一個人」的。這種改變有好有壞,你會變得更加成熟、世故,更內斂也更淡定。「健康、合適的職場環境」會讓你精力充沛;「壓抑又不適合的職場環境」則會以一種幾乎察覺不到的方式,一步步蠶食你的身心靈。希望懷抱理想踏入社會的「職場新鮮人」們都能一直記著自己的「熱情」和「初衷」,「在改變世界之前,別讓世界先改變了你」。
-
出社會後,若因為有了一些體悟而想要在職進修/重返校園;或者和我一樣體會過了職場生活之後,發現自己更喜歡學術的路線而回到學校,其實都是可以的。學習是一輩子的事,什麼時候開始都不嫌晚。
-
「工作過再回來念書」的學生,通常都會「更知道自己想要什麼」、「喜歡或需要加深哪方面的知識」,也更清楚自己「為什麼要回到校園繼續讀書」。
-
繼續攻讀博士班後,常聽教授們說:「大學是 “創造知識的地方”,所以我們要更謹慎的做每個研究,為人類社會 “拓展知識的邊界”。」這種自我期許的學者精神,真的會讓人很感動、敬佩。
-
很多以前覺得十分無用的理論,重新認識之後都有新的發現,原來一門知識的創造是這麼嚴肅又不容易的事情,理論之所以可以成為理論,需要經過多少學者無比嚴謹的反覆驗證啊!當初覺得沒有用,原來都只是因為自己不懂得應用罷了。
-
其實不管透過什麼方式「持續學習」,都是很棒的。如果可以在學習中帶入工作經驗、結合理論與實務的話更好,對職涯發展和自我的提升都會很有幫助喔!
-
總結來說,「先讀研究所」或「先工作」各有各的好處,按著自己喜歡的步調走就是「最好的選擇」啦!

We don't know what's ahead.
But we know we have to keep moving.
We don't know what future gotta bring us.
But we know, we just can't stop and wait.
Live when we're still alive and make the best out of it.
Nobody gets out alive anyway. 💚❤️💙💛💜

nobody gets out alive 在 pennyccw Youtube 的最佳貼文
Allen Iverson finally shook his shadow and shook up the NBA Finals.
Hounded by unheralded Tyronn Lue, Iverson scored seven of his 48 points in a one-minute span of overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Los Angeles Lakers with a 107-101 victory in the opener of the NBA Finals.
Iverson scored 30 points in a scintillating first half, letting everyone know that the 76ers were going to be more than another pushover for the powerful Lakers. His late flurry silenced the Staples Center and unceremoniously ended Los Angeles' run at a perfect postseason.
"Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there," Iverson said. "I'm glad nobody didn't bet their life on it 'cause they definitely would be dead right now."
Instead, the Sixers -- double-digit underdogs -- are very much alive as they again displayed their heroic heart.
"Our guys just try hard," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is kind of unexpected but it's neat."
In between Iverson outbursts, Lue stymied the NBA Most Valuable Player for nearly 20 minutes, using his quickness to prevent Iverson from even getting the ball, let alone shoot it. He had spent the last two practices impersonating Iverson and apparently got pretty good at it.
"I just try to deny him the ball as much as possible, because when he does get the ball, the best penetrator in the game is going to be hard to stop," Lue said. "We were trying to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible."
"He was holding me the whole time," Iverson said.
But the third-year reserve let his guard down for just a second and it cost the Lakers. Iverson's two free throws pulled the Sixers within 99-98 with 1:46 remaining and the Lakers called a timeout.
Lue drove and threw up a wild shot as he fell out of bounds. The Sixers rebounded and Iverson ran out in transition. With Lue nowhere in sight, he drilled a 3-pointer that gave Philadelphia the lead for good at 101-99 with 1:19 left.
"That was really the knife that wounded us," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.
Rick Fox spoiled a solid game by throwing away a pass and Iverson made a step-back baseline jumper for a 103-99 lead with 47 seconds to go.
Kobe Bryant, who shot poorly and could not defend Iverson, hit a baseline jumper with 33 seconds to play. But Eric Snow, whose runner late in the fourth quarter saved the Sixers, made a similar shot to seal it with 10 seconds left.
On the eve of his 26th birthday, Iverson made 18-of-41 shots and 9-of-9 free throws, adding six assists and five steals. Playing his first NBA Finals game, his explosion offset 44 points and 20 rebounds by Shaquille O'Neal as he won the duel between the league's last two MVPs.
The Lakers rallied from a 15-point third-quarter deficit only to blow a five-point overtime lead as they lost for the first time since April 1, a span of 20 games. They had come into this series as huge favorites, having romped through the postseason with 11 straight wins by an average of more than 15 points.
"I'm kind of relieved it's over in some ways but but it does put some pressure on us to get a win on our home court," Jackson said. "We've got to go out on Friday night and find a way to get this series tied up."
The Sixers came in with no one expecting them to win a game, let alone the series. But they used their trademark toughness to do in just one game what the weak knees of the Western Conference could not do in 11 -- beat the Lakers.
"They thought we were gonna get swept and that was like a slap in the face to us," Iverson said.
Game Two is Friday at Los Angeles. Philadelphia is trying to knock off the defending champions and win its first title in 18 years.
"Now it's a series," O'Neal said.
However, Philadelphia may have to try a little harder. Guard Aaron McKie, who did a superb job of defending Bryant, suffered a chip fracture of his right ankle but is probable for Friday.
Both Iverson and O'Neal abused a series of defenders. Iverson sent starter Derek Fisher to a permanent seat on the bench and also had his way with Bryant before Lue came on.
"You can't take anything away from Tyronn Lue," Iverson admitted. "A lot of guys go out against a player that's named MVP of the regular season and won't give it his all, act like he's scared. But he gave his team a great lift."
O'Neal met some resistance from Mutombo but manhandled Matt Geiger and Todd MacCulloch at the end of the third quarter. He made 17-of-28 shots but just 10-of-22 from the line.
Most of O'Neal's offense came against single coverage from Dikembe Mutombo, who sat down with foul trouble for most of the third quarter but still contributed 13 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks.
His presence allowed Philadelphia to swarm to Bryant, who had an awful game with just 15 points, on 7-of-22 shooting, and six turnovers.
"They got into Kobe's body, and bodied him on the dribble, stripped the ball when he picked it up," Jackson said. "He really didn't clear himself for shots very easily tonight."
Snow scored 13 points and injury-hampered Matt Geiger provided an unexpected 10 for the Sixers, who shot 48 percent (40-of-83) and missed just two of 25 free throws, which came at the worst possible time.
O'Neal's dunk off a feed from Bryant with 1:57 left in the fourth quarter gave the Lakers a 94-92 lead, their first since midway through the second period.
Snow answered with his first running jumper and the Sixers had a chance to take the lead when Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and was fouled with 34 seconds to go. But he missed both after Philadelphia had hit its first 19 from the line.
Bryant and Snow missed, sending it to overtime, where it looked like the Lakers were ready to win. O'Neal threw in a hook, Bryant spun for a layup and O'Neal split a pair from the line for a 99-94 lead.
The Sixers looked dead when Raja Bell found himself trapped in the lane with the shot clock running down. But he pivoted and threw in a scoop shot with his left hand with 2:19 remaining, sparking the comeback.
Fox scored 19 points for the Lakers, who were playing for the first time in 10 days and shot 44 percent (40-of-90).
At the start, it looked like another Lakers landslide. A 16-0 burst capped by Bryant's first basket gave Los Angeles an 18-5 lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go -- and perhaps allowed complacency to set in.
"We watched games that they played when they jumped out on guys and guys just packed it in and stopped playing," Iverson said. "But we've been like that before. We've been in games where we started off slow and ended up winning."
Iverson scored 10 points in the rest of the period, then opened the second quarter with a jumper over Bryant for a 24-23 lead.
The Lakers still held a 38-36 lead midway through the second quarter when Jackson was hit with a technical foul for arguing a non-call against Mutombo.
Iverson made the foul shot, Geiger hit two jumpers to give the Sixers the lead at 41-40 and Iverson took over from there as he scored Philadelphia's last 15 points of the half, mostly off his trademark crossover dribble.
His 3-pointer gave the Sixers a 56-48 advantage before O'Neal hammered home a miss by Bryant in the final second.
At intermission, Iverson had 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting, lighting up Bryant, who was 2-of-10 for four points with five turnovers.
"Allen really stepped it up," Brown said. "His first half was about as good as it gets."
It continued in the third quarter, as Iverson fed Jumaine Jones for an alley-oop slam, sank a jumper and dropped a layup over O'Neal for a 64-54 lead. He took a steal in for a layup and hit a fading corner shot before Eric Snow's three-point play gave the Sixers their largest lead at 73-58 with 5:23 left.
But with Mutombo on the bench, Philadelphia could not fight off O'Neal, who overpowered Geiger and MacCulloch and muscled Los Angeles back into it. He scored 14 points in the final 5:10 of the period, and with Lue shadowing Iverson, the Lakers pulled within 79-77 entering the final period.
Philadelphia led by as many as seven points early in the fourth quarter, when Mutombo picked up his fifth foul and again sat down before returning less than a minute later as Geiger fouled out.
