Campus Certificates Craze

　　If you just randomly ask a student on campus what he is busy doing, very possibly, he may answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Investigating a little more, you will find that this has become a new craze among college students.

　　The reasons behind the phenomenon can be summarized into just one: the pressure of finding a job after graduation. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to compete for the limited job posts. How to make oneself more competitive? Maybe more certificates at hand. Hoping that the employers might find one of them more attractive, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.

　　As far as I am concerned, the students should have a more rational attitude toward certificates, because exam certificates do not necessarily represent one’s ability.

　　For me, one should work hard at his or her major. Opportunity will come to you if you are competent enough in your field.

　　校園“考證熱”

　　如果你在大學(xué)校園里隨便問一個(gè)學(xué)生他在忙什么，他很有可能會(huì)回答，他正準(zhǔn)備考取某個(gè)證書。再進(jìn)一步調(diào)查，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，這在大學(xué)生中已成為一種新的熱潮。

　　現(xiàn)象背后的原因可以歸結(jié)為一個(gè)：畢業(yè)后的就業(yè)壓力。隨著高校擴(kuò)招，更多的畢業(yè)生不得不爭取有限的就業(yè)崗位。如何使自己更有競爭力?也許就是手中擁有更多的證書。期待雇主會(huì)對(duì)其中的某個(gè)證書感興趣，學(xué)生們不得不參加一場又一場考試。

　　我認(rèn)為，大學(xué)生應(yīng)該對(duì)證書持有一個(gè)更為理性的態(tài)度。因?yàn)榭荚囎C書并不一定代表一個(gè)人的能力。在我看來，一個(gè)人應(yīng)該努力學(xué)好自己的專業(yè)。只要你在自己的專業(yè)領(lǐng)域有足夠的能力，機(jī)會(huì)就會(huì)來到你的身邊。
