"Make a missile is worse than selling tea eggs?" This is a widely circulated sentence in the 1990s. In the eyes of most people, "dry space" is inseparable from "hard work" and "dedication". In the employment market, aerospace majors are not popular, and even some "niche".

In recent years, with the continuous refreshing records of my country's aerospace industry, aerospace technology has achieved leapfrog development, the launch capacity has been significantly improved, spatial science, space technology, and space application have made a comprehensive breakthrough, and industrial innovation development has entered a "fast track". The country's demand for related professionals is also increasing.

Development is the first priority, talent is the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force. According to the "Observation of the Employment Market Trends in the Spring Spring 2022" (hereinafter referred to as "Observation"), since the peak season this year, new energy, aerospace, medical equipment, biopharmaceuticals, industrial automation and other high -end manufacturing fields have increased rapidly. A year -on -year increase of more than 40%. Among them, the number of recruitment in engineering technology increased by 77%year -on -year, which is the fastest -growing segment.

Among the 10 industries with the fastest growth of recruitment demand year -on -year in 2022, the average annual salary of fresh graduate recruitment of aerospace majors reached 2070,000 yuan. Compared with the "2022 College Graduate Insight Report", for the salary of the first job, graduates look forward to 6000-8000 yuan, which is the highest monthly salary.

However, in fact, the "China Economic Weekly" reporter found that after communicating with a number of "quasi -spacemen", they found that the original intention of these young people to choose "chasing the stars" is not "high income". On them, there is a unique outlook on employment.

The hot -blooded girl "reluctant" to change the care

Among the many new graduates, Su Bei, a 26 -year -old girl from Zhengzhou, Henan. She is slender and beautiful, standing with other tall science and engineering boys, and can't help but let people passing by look.

Regarding the eyes of others, Su Bei has no surprise and introduces professionalism with a smile -aircraft power engineering is simply "making engines for aircraft". Recalling the original intention of choosing such a "hard core" major, Su Bei really replied: "I want to learn something different."

After entering the school, Su Bei found that he did choose a "very special" major: it was very difficult, there were very few girls, and the proportion of men and women was about 9: 1. "Girls are more difficult to do aviation engines than boys. For example, they need physical strength to go down the workshop and test." Su Bei then added, but girls also have the advantages of girls, such as more delicate minds.

During the undergraduate graduation, a classmate around Su Bei began to shake and had the idea of ​​"changing". "At that time, facing employment choices, everyone's ambitions were different. Someone went to Internet companies or changed to other majors. After all, our line is not the act of" coming to money ". Doing scientific research needs to be particularly practical and it is the kind of long -term investment."

After a week of entanglement, Su Bei finally decided to take the graduate student in this major, the reason is very simple -reluctant. "I think I am very hot. Although it is difficult to learn, I start to learn, and that kind of feelings come." She said that her teachers are "old astronauts" and often tell them the story of struggle. Slowly The spirit of home country and the inheritance of aerospace is also rooted in everyone's hearts. It is described in popular words that "how much romance is on the body."

Regarding employment, Su Bei said that this year, her majors have more than 200 fresh graduates, and students who continue to be studied have basically implemented work. "I haven't heard that someone around me has not signed the three parties, and everyone's employment prospects are very good."

For the reason for the ultra -high employment rate, Su Bei believes that it is still a professional counterpart. "Our professional nature is highly matched with the business of the employer. Most of the graduates' flow directions are research institutes throughout the country."

This is also reflected in the interview. At the end of October last year, a research institute came to Su Bei's school for school recruitment. On the day she cast her resume, she received an interview notice. Because of the epidemic, after a online group interview alone, the employment triple agreement was signed at the end of November. "Don't look at the number of interviews, and the gold content is very high. Experts and professors of each system ask questions. Each question points directly to the door and makes a higher judgment."

In addition, according to Su Bei, there is an exclusive "conventional operation" in the recruitment of the aerospace system, which is the "industry leader" -the chief designer personally recruiting. "I have seen many chief designers and chief designers of various projects and sub -systems at school. I have also encountered the chairman of the group to recruit people, and the unit will give priority to letting alumni return to their alma mater."

What kind of graduates will let the unit "rush"? Su Bei said that there was such a classmate around her. After graduating this year, the "ceiling" level units in the two professional fields in China threw olive branches to him. Su Bei's impression of him is practical, serious and reliable, and can endure hardships. "These qualities are particularly important in the field of scientific research. I often see him staying up late in the self -study room."

The unit where Su Bei joined immediately was far away from his hometown, but the whole family was particularly supported. Being able to become a Chinese astronaut and give her a soldier's father's father. "They feel that my job is not just a job to support her, but to contribute to the country." This special employment pride is not limited to her family of three, but also in the family. It is said that she has "planted grass" with her cousin in junior high school, hoping that he can join the Chinese aerospace team in the future. She also has a more bloody wish, that is, she hopes that one day, the engine designed by her own can successfully go to heaven and improve the level and status of Chinese aerospace in the world.

Is it better to sell tea eggs?

Public information shows that the size of the post of doctoral recruitment in the spring of 2022 has increased by 120%year -on -year, which is mainly concentrated in the three major areas of medical pharmaceuticals, digital technology and intelligent manufacturing.

Li Zhi, born in 1992, was a PhD from graduating this year. The undergraduate studies from the doctoral degree were all burning. In his words, he became a "aerospace person" by fate.

When the college entrance examination was volunteer, Li Zhi, who loved machinery and racing from an early age, chose the "Energy Power" major literally according to meaning, thinking about developing cool and novel new energy in the future. Unexpectedly, after the school started, the teacher brought the students directly into the boiler room to open a study career with liquid fuel and solid fuel.

After the short -term confusion, with the deepening of learning, Li Zhi even found the joy of exploration in a group of flames, his grades also ranked among the best, and he also obtained the qualifications of the graduate student.

In the process of subsequent reading, Li Zhi has been a graduate counselor for two years. After observing the employment of many teachers and sisters, he discovered some employment characteristics of aerospace majors.

"First of all, students studying aerospace majors, whether they are undergraduate or graduate students, are more from my own interests. I also have curiosity about this line, and I will choose if I like it. The product is overwhelming, the sense of accomplishment that cannot be replaced makes people even more desperate. "

Secondly, my country's aerospace industry is in a period of high -speed development. The talent gap is very large. Most research institutions are expanding at the speed of "visible to the naked eye". Taking the research institute of Li Zhi as an example, the number of fresh graduates recruited this year has doubled compared to last year.

The rapid development of the industry also provides rare development opportunities for more young people. Li Zhi said: "Some excellent scholars and sisters, through their own efforts, have achieved achievements and recognition for 10 years in other industries for 5 years."

In addition, the overall treatment of the astronauts is steadily increasing. "There is an old saying in society," The missile making is not as good as selling tea eggs'. It is said that in the 1990s, some aerospace units could not afford wages. As the country continues to attach great importance, the overall treatment of the industry has been steadily improved. "Li Zhi said with a smile.

At the end of May, Li Zhi, who was newly employed, updated a circle of friends, which was the night view of the new unit taken by himself. In the composition, sculptures with strong space -colored color in front of the office building are placed in the C position. From the text, we can see his expectations for the future -Dongfeng Zhengjie.
