A client asked whether to take a public institution exam or a PhD exam in 2026. She followed the suggestion to focus on the PhD, and was admitted.

My question is: at the end of March 2026, there is a public institution exam for a management position at Harbin Normal University, and around April-May 2026, there is a PhD exam (oil painting major). I want to ask which one I should choose, which has a higher chance? Because preparation time for both is tight; if I prepare for both, I might fail both. I can only pick one and give up the other. [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] But after finishing a PhD, I still have to face employment, so I want to ask which one I should prepare for? I'm so worried. I'm also afraid I won't pass the public institution exam.
我的问题是今年2026年三月底有哈尔滨师范大学的编制考试考管理岗,还有一个2026年4.5月份左右有考博考试(考油画专业)我想问一下这两个选择我选哪个呢哪个机会大一些呢?因为两个准备考试时间都很紧张,都准备可能会两个都考不上,只能选一个放弃一个。考[redacted] [redacted] [redacted]但是读完博士也还是要面临就业,所以我想问应该准备哪个呢?🤔愁死了,编制考试又担心自己考不上。

In 2026, the year of Bing Wu, your own natal element comes forward. This year brings support for both academics and career, but the Wu fire is connected to your personal network, so the probability of getting into the PhD program is higher. Therefore I suggest you focus fully on the PhD. However, your BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) also shows an affinity for government-funded positions. The two do not conflict. There are two more points: in 2026-2027, the fire element is not pure, so most of it will be a form of commitment (for example, a probation period, after which you get a promotion). Besides, people will recognize you more; your benefits will be better than regular contract staff, and you will get an extra subsidy.
丙午年2026年是自己家里的字出来, 本年在学业上事业上都有助力,但是 午火沾亲带故的,考博士成功概率大。 因此建议你还是一门心思奔着博士 去。 但是,你的八字也有国家饭碗的缘分, 这两者不冲突,其中还要分成两块来 说:2026-2027年火来的不纯,多数 是一种承诺(比如有考察期,过去就 给你提升),此外对你的认可度增加 了,你的待遇比一般合同制的人要好, 会额外给你一块补贴。
