唸書先 還是工作先
Q：我是一名剛退伍的化學系畢業生從大一以來我就有志於出國唸書,雖然不是念國內的知名大學,但卻也非常準備相關的考試.但是退伍後,長期在石化工業工作的父親確堅持要我先有工作經驗再去念研究所會比較扎實,這讓我非常猶豫.因為常聽人說工作幾年就不想讀書
這讓我心生畏懼,擔心一輩子在頁無法得到更高的學位而自卑.但是我也煩惱在毫無工作經驗的狀態下,該如何選擇化學相關的領域呢?
想請教您:
1.我父親的觀念是否正確?
2.有了博士學位,選擇到業界工作和在學校做研究的差異性?
A:先工作還是先讀書, 一直以來是眾人難以取決的難處,
不必擔心, 經深思之的決定必會使你受用無窮.
若可以, 請用以下步驟來思考:
(1)你是否也知道想要念的科系及主修方向?
(2)想念博士班的動機強不強?
(3)想念博士班的動機是為了追求更好的職業或是為了自我追求的理想?
如果:
(1) 是確定的, 可以直接申請, 去就讀. 以你的狀況, 相信還不到這程度.
(2)若是, 動機的本身應不會受兩三年工作的影響而減少! 若否, 或不夠強, 則應減少工作年數.
(3)若是為了工作, 事先理解產業的實質內容, 再決定選何領域, 正確性更高. 若只是為興趣及理想, 無論先去念或先工作皆可.
請問已有F1簽証，仍需再繳Sevis費用嗎
Q：因為之前唸語言學校已領有F1簽証，
現在拿到研究所的I-20後，我需要再次繳交Sevis費用嗎？
A:SEVIS 是 Studentand Exchange Information System的縮寫，在AIT所提供的網站都有說明。至於你所謂你已經有
F1簽證，只是在語言學校，現在你要進入研究所，重點是這是同一所學校嗎？ 你的F1還是有效嗎？ SEVIS的費用說明中也明白說了需要繳費的條件，你先看看自己的
F1有效，若是有效且時間是在2004年九月一日之前，請自己判斷是否要繳錢.
實習算不算工作經驗
Q：若我想要一畢業就出國念研究所,我想要讀的方面是生物科技....那我的gre和托福大概要考到多少分才可以進前50大名校...而那些長春藤名校是不是申請很不容易....
我線再再考慮畢業要不要去實習(我念師範大學) 若去實習一年,這樣算不算是"工作經驗,這樣對申請名校有沒有幫助
A:1. You need to have at least 550 (old scale)
of Toefl score. For your GRE, it varies. To play safe, aim at
1200. Most Chinese/Taiwanese students are weak in Verbal and strong
in Aptitude tests. A combination of at least 1200 is recommended.
2. Ivy League schools are not DIFFICULT, but they are very competitive.
Whoever applies usually thinks that he/she is outstanding among
his/her peer. Before you decide to go for a good name, check if
the Ivy League schools are suitable for you and whether they have
the right kind of program for you.
3. Unless the school specifies it, work experience is not required
in applying for graduate school. However, when they ask for work
experience, normally they want the real kind of experience--experience
that shows you can work independently.
While you choose a good school to attend, good schools also choose
good students--that is, students who have shown distinguished
performance and promise of good development. For that matter,
they not only look at your grades, but your training (whether
it was vigorous or marginal), your proven judgment, your perception
of the field and your instructors' evaluation, etc. Good grades
alone do not guarantee anything just because many universities
here have inflated their awarding of grades. On the basis of their
previous records, the American
universities (particularly the top ones) will discount the grades
of certain schools here.
