Recently, I was busy writing my doctoral thesis and looking for a job. I was confused and confused. Sometimes I was distressed that my work during my graduate study was of little value. Sometimes I was confused about what I could do and how to do in the future. In general, I still hope my life can be full and meaningful. Therefore, I made some thoughts, which may not be accurate, But you can temporarily solve your confusion and ease your distress.

The views on scientific research and scientific and technological innovation are as follows: Generally speaking, innovation is divided into scientific innovation, technological innovation and engineering innovation. For enterprises, it is the main body of technological innovation. Because the greatest concern of enterprises is to obtain the maximum profits and live in harmony with the society as a whole, it is impossible to focus on scientific innovation, Technological innovation can directly create certain profits for enterprises. Of course, what enterprises need most is those technologies that can be directly transformed into economic benefits, that is, they pursue short-term, flat and fast, and only occasionally pay attention to long-term technologies. However, enterprises are also the subjects with the most willingness for technological innovation and the subjects that can bring direct changes to the whole society, Therefore, it is necessary for R & D institutions (such as universities and scientific research institutions) to provide advanced technical guidance and give necessary external driving forces. Enterprises should not be expected to take the initiative in technological innovation, but should strengthen the cooperation between enterprises and R & D institutions, so as to eventually bring social technological progress and improvement of living standards. For scientific research institutions, emphasis should be placed on technological innovation, because technological innovation is closely related to enterprises, and enterprises are directly related to social and technological progress. In other words, scientific research institutions can better solve their own survival problems only through cooperation with enterprises. After all, scientific researchers need to meet basic survival needs and cannot rely mainly on state funding, However, in order to truly obtain technological innovation, we must pay attention to scientific innovation. Some people should focus on basic research, and should be provided with stable financial support and relatively loose free space. However, there should not be too many people engaged in basic research, and a reasonable proportion should be controlled according to the actual situation. As far as colleges and universities are concerned, they should mainly rely on the stable support of the state or donations from enterprises and individuals, and the main work should still focus on cultivating students. On this premise, some basic research and technological innovation can be carried out, but scientific research should be combined with teaching work to preliminarily cultivate students' scientific questioning spirit, and basic research should be the main work, With good basic research results, technological innovation can be carried out, but relatively less technological innovation work can be done, or some people can be arranged to specialize in scientific research without affecting the cultivation of students. At the same time, it can be used as an auxiliary base for cultivating students. In addition, academic freedom of colleges and universities should be guaranteed, which is also the premise of cultivating students' scientific and humanistic spirit, To a certain extent, the university should be an "ivory tower" and a spiritual holy land, so that people living in it can feel the charm of knowledge and understand the spiritual connotation of science and humanities. The scientific spirit is to think independently, dare to be first and pursue truth, and the humanistic spirit is to "do not do to others what they do not want".

The views on the job hunting of doctoral graduates are as follows: most doctoral graduates go to universities and scientific research institutions. It is generally easy to find their position in universities and scientific research institutions. These are traditional employment destinations, but it is not easy to find their position in enterprises. In fact, although enterprises did not recruit many doctors in the past and thought that they did not need doctors without basic research and technological innovation, in fact, enterprises and some doctors did not find their own positioning. Enterprises may hardly need basic research and advanced technological innovation, but they still need relevant innovative thinking and methods, These forward-looking thinking and methods are exactly what doctors are trained in Colleges and universities or scientific research institutions. Of course, doctors sometimes can't find their position in enterprises, mainly because they want to use these thinking and methods for basic research and early technological innovation in enterprises. Most of the time, this certainly doesn't work, but enterprises still need innovation, However, it should mainly be the later technological innovation, the integration, transformation and utilization of mature technologies, and key engineering innovation. On the surface, these are mainly the work of engineers. However, for doctors, they generally have certain scientific thinking, have more in-depth and cutting-edge understanding of the whole technical field, and also know some basic technical testing and equipment use methods, Doing these jobs will still have many advantages, and can even help stimulate more technological innovation and engineering innovation. Therefore, when doctors go to enterprises, they must first adjust their thinking, look less at "basic R & D", look more at "technological innovation, technological transformation and engineering innovation", and learn more from experienced and capable engineers, Excited about the direct transformation and utilization of technological achievements and happy to bring direct changes to social life.

The opinions on publishing papers and applying for patents are as follows: publishing papers needs to go through a series of processes: first ask questions, come up with plans, do many experiments, and then write, modify, contribute and answer the reviewer's questions until the editor in chief agrees to accept them. In the past, I often wondered why I had to spend money on reading papers and transfer copyright when publishing papers. Moreover, the results of such hard work were shared with others for free. To some extent, I still wanted to share them with others. At least from the perspective of market economics, this is unreasonable. Of course, it is undeniable that for various considerations, publishing papers has become a hard demand for scientific researchers, and driven by some interests, the more the better, the higher the grade, the better. But what is hidden behind this fog? For basic research or some technological innovation ideas, it is indeed necessary to publish papers, because their value is to create new basic theories and universal methods to promote the birth of technological innovation and broaden the field of human knowledge. Publishing papers is to tell the world these new things. On the one hand, people can share new knowledge, On the other hand, researchers in the field of basic research can obtain a sense of value achievement and corresponding academic honors through the recognition of others, because basic research can not directly bring changes to the society like technological innovation, but announce their right of initiative by sharing research results with others, And by seeing the promotion of this achievement on technological innovation to obtain a sense of value achievement and corresponding social honor, this should be the real reason and purpose for researchers to take the trouble to publish papers. However, if the purpose of publishing papers becomes other or fails to achieve its due role in promoting technological innovation, the published papers will basically lose their value, but the recognition of the value of papers that promote the emergence of truly valuable basic research results should also be allowed. In this sense, the publication of other papers is meaningless, It's not necessary. For truly valuable technological innovation, in order to protect their intellectual property rights and commercial value, they should apply for patents and obtain corresponding authorization rather than publish papers, because the leader of technological innovation is universities or scientific research institutions, the main body of technology promotion and application is enterprises, and more emphasis is on commercial value, And the accompanying role in promoting the progress of social life, so publishing papers is almost meaningless, and may even cause technical disclosure and commercial losses. Of course, if it is not a real technological innovation, there is no need to mention it.
