Should adults quit their jobs to study abroad support them? Two aspects can be considered: whether it is worthwhile to study abroad after many years of work, and whether the family supports it. Is there an age limit for adults to study abroad? So you have a stable job, should you resign to study abroad?

The epidemic is still spreading. Affected by the epidemic, the employment environment of the whole society is not good, which leads many people to rekindle the idea of studying abroad. This also leads to our "debate" today.

　　 You have a stable job, should you resign to study abroad?

First of all, let's take a simple look at the topic. Resignation, stability, and should or should not be. The three words may represent the majority of the "right" views in society. They correspond to various factors such as the high cost of age, weak competitiveness with young people, high economic costs, and high uncertainty in the future.

In the eyes of Zhengfang, it is an adventure or even an impulse to give up the position and income and choose further education to start from scratch. But how can adults persist in their dreams? Whether resigning to study abroad is a high return behavior, let's explain it one by one!

　　 1. How expensive is your age?

Now we may all be in our twenties when we choose to study abroad. In the traditional concept, life planning has reached this stage. If we give up studying abroad at this time, it may cost too much and it will be "too late".

In fact, when entering the workplace to contact the market and business, more and more people find that it is the inner feelings of many migrant workers to deviate from their original intentions. As time goes by, I have forgotten my hot dream.

In fact, at this stage, you can also choose to study abroad. There are two cases of continuing your artistic dream 。 One is that their job responsibilities need more knowledge and skills, so they choose to pursue further education. The other is to think that life is just for once. If we don't go crazy again, we will be old!

After Nicolas Copernicus suspended his studies at Krakow University, in order to obtain better research opportunities, he collected tuition fees through work study program. Relying on his talent and unusual perseverance, he came to Italy, the center of the European Renaissance, for further study, and finally promoted the pace of world scientific and technological revolution and became a great scientist.

After graduation in China, I may choose to enter the workplace in confusion. We stumbled all the way and grew through accumulation. Those who can pursue their dreams are very thoughtful and willing to start again. No one can deprive others of the right to pursue their dreams. So don't care what others think. The knowledge you learn hard is your intangible wealth.

　　 2. Weak competition with young people?

When consulting, many people will ask: Am I too old to study art now? I can tell you very clearly: No. The application of overseas art majors is based on qualifications and strength, and age is not the threshold for you to pursue your dreams.

Some people say that they have worked for so many years, and they still want to compete with graduates for places! In fact, the number of applicants is relatively fixed every year, so don't worry about your competitors who are fresh students. If the number is large, there will be no opportunity.

　　 The most important thing in the whole application is the collection of works, documents and standardization. The integrity of the collection of works depends on whether you are careful in the preparation process As long as you work hard during class, actively think about and cooperate with the teacher's teaching progress, constantly deliberate and ask questions after class, develop more inspiration and do more research, I believe your strength will give you an answer.

Moreover, they have work experience, which is what many colleges and universities hope applicants have when they apply. What's more For example, whether the architecture major has work experience directly determines the necessary conditions for obtaining an offer from a top university. In your working days, you have strengthened your communication ability and learning ability, which are conducive to later application and overseas study. Therefore, resigning to study abroad will not be left behind, but will be more advantageous!

　　 3. Is it expensive for adults to resign?

When most people think about quitting their jobs and studying abroad, they will take economic issues into consideration. Accustomed to stable income and fixed deposits, I suddenly chose to give up and devote myself to applying for and studying abroad, which will lead to economic difficulties when I cut off the income channel. But the choice of adversity must be for the resplendence of rebirth.

The social workplace is no more cruel and realistic than the ivory tower. I believe that this is what people in the workplace have experienced. But adversity often makes people grow faster, so People who have experienced the torture of society, and then choose to study in art, tend to cherish the opportunity of learning more, and the purpose is clear.

Choose art to study abroad, Learning from overseas advanced educational resources and experiencing a more international artistic atmosphere are not available in China. Whether you continue to improve on your existing foundation or give up all existing options to start from scratch A rare experience in life 。

Compared with fresh graduates who are in an unknown state of career development, It is more planned and purposeful for professionals to choose art to study abroad. Reasonably plan your learning career and cherish all the time available for improvement. Many people hope that during their further education, on the one hand, they can obtain higher education certification, on the other hand, they can learn their professional skills and add more competitive chips for their career future.

People with such ideas are often the best on campus. Many colleges and universities also require applicants to describe their learning plans and future plans in the document requirements, so adults who quit to study abroad are completely in line with the college's measurement standards. Many people think that studying abroad is to escape the cruel working environment. In fact, it is not true. Going out is to better return!

　　 4. Is the future uncertain and uncontrollable?

I believe that a large number of people experience this problem, The hesitation lies in the contradiction between the present and the uncertain future . Maybe there is a certain degree of certainty in the current workplace, with stable positions, fixed income and considerable promotion space.

The issue of "giving up" and "getting" has always been mentioned from ancient times and is worth thinking. No one can guarantee that the starting point will be higher after studying art, But it is our own ability to learn, and with the recognition of the return of overseas students increasingly valued by the country, the future is uncertain, but it must be more valuable than the present.

In fact, whether art study abroad can enhance your personal value, It depends on your efforts and learning achievements during your study abroad If you only need to study after you apply for admission, it will be meaningless for you to resign and study abroad. So while studying abroad, You must make good use of teaching resources, strive for more learning opportunities, participate in interdisciplinary projects, and actively apply for internship opportunities. These are your strong capital to fight against future uncertainty.

　　 Should adults give up their jobs to study abroad?

To sum up, it can be concluded from the above four points: adults are supported to resign and study abroad. Although in today's society, adults shoulder a lot of responsibilities, to make money, to be pragmatic, to restrain

But that doesn't mean they lose the right to pursue their dreams Art study abroad First of all, you should determine your own gains and losses. Hard work and bad environment are not the reasons for studying abroad in art, but the choice The purpose of studying abroad in art is to improve one's ability, to fulfill one's dream, and more importantly, to give oneself a life without regret 。

Resigning to study abroad is an important decision for adults, which can be said to be a watershed in life. So we must Make a reasonable plan in advance, have a clear development direction for your future, complete the learning objectives step by step according to your own plan during the learning period, and improve your professional ability. I believe that I will gain a different self after graduation, and all difficulties will be solved!
