After the master’s training program was proposed, there were many opinions that it should not be wasted, because when they graduate, they will not be of any use and will not have a job, and their salary will even be lower than that of someone who graduated from a university.
First we must understand what `people’s knowledge` is?
Poor countries with low GDP are often attributed to low educational attainment.
Today’s society is the same, if a country is rich, the educational level of its people will be high.
I saw a video in which two girls threw their car and ran away because the car’s gas tank suddenly caught fire. Immediately, two very `enthusiastic` young men brought a large bucket of water to put out the fire.
So is studying for a graduate degree in engineering, master’s or doctorate good for yourself or society?

I myself was fortunate to go through a period of `ignorance` at university. At that time, I only graduated from a vocational construction school, so I very well understand the guilt, inferiority, and conservatism of someone without a university degree.
The knowledge I learned was from the cafe and used it to argue when possible.
The purpose of arguments is to see who wins and not to care about who is right. Sometimes I even criticize the engineer for not being any better than me and challenge him to build a wall with me to see who can build it faster.
The second luck I had was during my university and master’s studies.
If my opinion is not sure, I will listen and go home to check and research further.
Many people keep criticizing that studying at university is only theoretical and not practical.
In reality, there are many cases where you ignore theory because they think it is too cumbersome and impractical, but when catastrophic accidents happen, you blame it on `bad luck`.
For example, Japanese engineers create motorbikes based on the theory that they know that with a certain weight, the vehicle’s displacement will be the same.
You may wonder why in college you study so many useless subjects, while in high school you only specialize in one thing with very practical skills?

When I was in college, even though my major was IT, I had to study math, physics, logic and graphics… I also thought why not focus on learning only things related to computers instead of
Studying vocational secondary school is also very good and of course it will be better than not studying anything, but the mistake is that you think that vocational secondary school is realistic and better than university or master’s degree.
The general problem I want to compare here is that the master’s level is far different from the intermediate level.
The middle school student is diligent because he himself works diligently, not because he works diligently because of his high school education.
