I got married to an orthopaedic surgeon

"It seems that Auntie is really kind to you," Zhou Mo recalled to himself, "You are someone else forcing you to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you don't want to learn. I was the opposite of you when I was a child. I think I can't learn. My parents' salary It's not high, and I have to repay the mortgage, and I always work overtime, and I don't have time to send me to those special classes."

"What did you want to learn before?"

"Art," Zhou Mo said: "When I was in elementary school, the teacher always asked us to copy some pictures in art textbooks, first draw the lines with a pencil, then use a pen to finalize the draft, and then use an eraser to erase the pencil lines. I draw slowly, I don’t use pencils every time, I draw directly with pens, and I can finish the draft in one go, and I always get A+. At that time, I thought, maybe... I am somewhat talented, but the family conditions are not good. Well, I can’t afford extracurricular classes.”

"It's a pity," Han Chen said.

"Yes," Zhou Mo also sighed: "If I had the opportunity to get systematic and formal training when I was a child, maybe... I am doing a job I like now, and I don't have to go to school until I am in my 30s. But there is no medicine for regret in this world. Selling, no matter how you say it, studying and getting a higher degree are the only way for a student from an ordinary family like me to go up.”

It's probably like the last straw, which must be held tightly, because if you can't hold it, even the straw will be gone.

How big is the competition now? There are tens of millions of graduates, millions of master students, and hundreds of thousands of doctoral students every year.

In some places, prefecture-level cities have a population of less than a few hundred thousand.

Especially for medical majors, education is not worth mentioning.

The recruitment of the top three hospitals with good conditions and great reputation starts with a Ph. D., and some even require overseas study experience, plus a few articles with an impact factor of more than a few points in several districts.

Rao Zhou Mo, who has a Ph.D., has only published two English articles. This is because the supervisor is very good at scientific research and generous, and does not take up her first author's signature.

In other words, Dongjiang is not a first-tier city, and the medical school of Dongjiang University is well-known in the country. She, a domestic doctor, can barely meet the conditions to work in the First Hospital of Dongjiang University.

Although they are all doctors, Han Chen's doctorate is obviously higher than hers.

Because Han Chen studied in the eight-year system, combined undergraduate, master, and doctoral studies, and participated in joint training with domestic and foreign universities. This is the unique training method of Imperial University, and there may be no second one in the country.

The eight-year clinical medicine major requires that the score in the college entrance examination is far ahead, which is much higher than that of the ordinary five-year clinical major. However, even if the eight-year program does not mean that you can graduate smoothly, There is also a staged assessment in the middle, which adopts a 50.00% final elimination system, which means that if the comprehensive score is not ranked in the top half in the mid-term, it will be "retired".

The so-called "retirement" means changing from the eight-year system to the five-year system. After five years of graduation, you will get a bachelor's degree certificate and a bachelor's degree in medicine, and you can continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Students who have not been "retired" will continue to study for a degree. After eight years, they can only get a diploma after eight years if they meet the doctoral graduation requirements. The graduation certificate includes a bachelor's degree and a doctoral degree, but there is no master's degree.

It is not the same as the students of combined master and doctor programs. Students of combined master and doctor programs can obtain the qualifications for combined master and doctor programs if their grades are among the best at the end of the undergraduate course. Doctoral graduation requirements, but meet the master's graduation requirements, you can get a master's degree certificate.

Because Han Chen was studying in the eight-year program, she graduated directly with a Ph.D., while she had a five-year undergraduate degree, and was delayed by a year because of work. After three years of master's degree, she took the Ph.D., so she came all the way, much later than Han Chen graduated.

"Actually, even if you get a Ph.D., it's not that bad. It's just that you've just touched the threshold of the scientific research migrant worker group," Zhou Mo said. "It's the same as any industry. Barely making ends meet, only those at the top of the pyramid can have a substantial income."

Speaking of a glorious doctoral degree, when it is thrown into the sea of ​​society, it is not even a wave.

"Didn't you say there would be bread and beer?"

Zhou Mo smiled, "That will have to wait until after I graduate, maybe a few years."

Graduating with a Ph.D. is another threshold.

Dongjiang University’s doctoral graduation requirements require a single article with a score of 3 or more, or two articles with a combined score of more than [-], and the articles published during the master’s period are not counted.

Zhou Mo's previous article was only after 2 o'clock, so she had to make another article.

For those majors who do not enter the laboratory, do not involve wet experiments, and conduct research purely on mathematical statistics, there are basically only two ways to publish articles.

One is to cooperate with other laboratories or experimental teams, and the other is to specialize in the basis of statistical theory and invent new algorithms.

For a non-mathematics major like Zhou Mo, the second road is basically blocked, so they can only choose the first road. This is also the reason why Shen Qingyi cooperated with the Orthopedics Department of the First Hospital of Dongda University.

Zhou Mo is also waiting for Shen Qingyi's contract to expire.

The next day.

Because Han Chen had been busy for several days, sometimes when he came back, Zhou Mo was about to rest, and the two of them didn't have a good meal together. They planned to discuss going out for a meal together when Han Chen got off work early in the afternoon.

Of course, when Han Chen said he got off work early, he only meant that he would go home earlier than midnight, and Zhou Mo had to go to the hospital to wait for him.

Zhou Mo walked out of the academy and was about to take a taxi, but her sixth sense told her that something was wrong, there seemed to be someone behind.

She turned her head to look, but apart from the empty space in front of the building, there was not even a single extra figure.

No more doubts, a taxi just happened to stop at the gate of the college, Zhou Mo opened the door and got in the car.

The yellow-green taxi drifted away, Ren Huaibo hurriedly ran out from behind the marble pillar at the entrance of the building, and hurriedly hailed a taxi.

"Master, follow the car in front."

"What's the situation?" The master said, lightly stepping on the gas pedal.

"Don't worry about it, just help me catch it."

The master half-jokingly said: "Did you make your girlfriend angry? You young people now, really."

Ren Huaibo didn't explain, just lowered his eyes silently.

The taxi followed Zhou Mo's taxi all the way, but while walking, Ren Huaibo suddenly felt that the direction was a bit wrong.

Until the taxi that Zhou Mo was in stopped at a convenient off-road, and the next intersection was Building No. [-] of the First Hospital of Dongdae...

Ren Huaibo suddenly realized.

Zhou Mo didn't go home, but came to find Han Chen.

"Young man, everyone has come down, why don't you get out of the car?" the taxi driver asked.

Ren Huaibo was in a daze, "Forget it, let's go."

The taxi driver shook his head helplessly, with a puzzled look on his face.
