among the top 15 candidates for dormitory administrators, six are postgraduate students. the top three will be admitted based on their comprehensive exam scores. the three dormitory administrators to be admitted are from the major of mechanical engineering at north university of china, the major of environmental science at yunnan agricultural university, and the major of agricultural management at southwest forestry university.

in response to the controversy, a reporter from jingshi live contacted baoshan university, and a staff member said that they had no comment. a staff member of baoshan university logistics service co., ltd. said that the duties of dormitory administrators were written in great detail during the recruitment process, and that specific tasks would be assigned according to the company's arrangements. "you can take a closer look at the recruitment notice. we hired him because he performed well as a master's degree candidate."

shang chongsheng, deputy director of the urban security and social management research center of wuhan university, introduced that the reason why masters work as dormitory managers in schools is that there are too many talented people and the school has the right to choose; secondly, the current employment pressure is relatively high; job seekers all hope to have a stable job, so everyone should not be too critical.

shang chongsheng said that the devaluation of academic qualifications is indeed a real problem. with the development of society and the improvement of education level, more and more people have received higher education, resulting in an oversupply of academic qualifications, which has caused the devaluation of academic qualifications. there is a gap between the supply of academic qualifications and the supply of academic qualifications. now there are too many academic qualifications and too few positions, so it is natural that undergraduate degrees are not rare, which has led to serious competition and internal competition. "but academic qualifications are still very important. academic qualifications are a stepping stone."

shang chongsheng said that the country now lacks workers with work experience and technical talents, but currently people's acceptance of technical workers is limited. if the treatment can be improved and there is no labor discrimination, young people may be more likely to try.

"for example, in engineering and agriculture, all aspects require professional technicians, people who understand a certain technology, and such people are needed to create and innovate." (reporter cao ou of jingshi live)
