Is it true that liberal arts students are not employable? Which liberal arts majors have a future?

Is it good to study liberal arts? This seems to be a topic of debate for a long time, many students and parents who chose the liberal arts are of the opinion that: liberal arts majors are good, high income, good social status, easy and decent work. Therefore, the number of people who apply for liberal arts majors in the college entrance examination every year is quite large, and the admission scores are also quite high. Because of the good enrollment, the cost of liberal arts majors is relatively low, so there is a phenomenon that most colleges and universities are offering liberal arts majors. The names of liberal arts majors sound really tempting: economics, finance, law, business administration, journalism, international economics and trade ...... After graduation, the economic and financial to the bank, business administration to the Trade and Industry Bureau and large enterprises, law as lawyers, news as journalists, international trade in foreign trade ... ... which one is not loud and clear? However, the facts speak louder than words, let's look at some news reports: News 1: China's Ministry of Personnel recently released on its official website, "2005 college graduates employment reception and demand in 2006 survey and analysis". The survey shows that, comparing the employment situation of national college graduates in the past three years, the employment rate of graduates of engineering majors is the highest, followed by science majors, and liberal arts majors are the lowest. Law, economics, business management, administration and other liberal arts majors continue to go down. News 2: In response to the question of what causes the relative difficulty of the current employment of liberal arts college students, Dr. Zhang Netcheng of Beijing Normal University talked about his own views: "China is currently in a period of rapid industrialization, the rapid development of the secondary industry, coupled with a considerable number of enterprises attaching more and more importance to technological upgrading and product innovation, the demand for science and engineering graduates to maintain a fairly high growth trend is reasonable. Although the tertiary industry has outpaced the secondary industry in recent years, the demand for high-level service talents has not increased year-on-year, coupled with the fact that the fast-growing tertiary industry like computers and telecommunication has a clear preference for S&E graduates, thus limiting the pathways for liberal arts graduates significantly." Not only China, but in fact the vast majority of countries prefer S&E talents. The reason for this is that the role of science students for society after employment is often visible; they carry out material production and create material wealth, which can be quantified. On the other hand, the traditional mission of liberal arts graduates is to manage society, pass on culture and values, shape the spirit of the times, and provide knowledge and human resources for people's lives and the functioning of society. Though their roles are also indispensable, their functions can hardly be quantified and totalized, and thus their work is often regarded as dispensable. It is as if a pot of cold water has been thrown over their heads. Is it true that the future of liberal arts students is not optimistic? Do not be in a hurry, in line with the principle of the first suppressed after the principle of praise, let's take a look at some news: News 3: Liberal Arts students, although the relative application of the surface is narrower, but the situation is very obvious, which inadvertently expand the employment surface, and good communication, good at socializing the advantages of the field of work also let them like a fish out of water. News 4: The human resources department of many companies said: welcome the comprehensive quality of the liberal arts students. Minor in computer, economics, management, design, second foreign language and other aspects of the course, the comprehensive quality of the liberal arts students, employment competitiveness is very strong. After the analysis, the next thing to do is naturally guidance, which liberal arts majors are good for employment? And let us slowly look. A "language" to break the sky "language" is a language specialty, including the Chinese class of Chinese language and literature, journalism, secretarial, etc., but also includes a number of foreign languages. Chinese class is selected as a matter of course. Because its application is too wide, no which line of which a company does not need secretarial and publicity talents, so, although the Chinese class of professional mediocrity, over the years, but to be able to long entrenched in the forefront of the talent market demand list. Chinese language and literature: the longest and most common "oil" profession, can be a secretary, can do administration, can do publicity, can be a teacher, but also can do advertising, publishing, marketing, etc., it is a lot of roads. If you choose this specialty, you should have the competitiveness of employment, it is best to have some special skills. For example, writing, do not think that the study of Chinese will write, here the writing refers to the outstanding writing ability, wonderful writing type, so that you can do a good job of the leadership of the pencil, spokesman, in order to become a good reporter and editor. For example, computers, in many small units, and there is no professional computer maintenance staff, computer problems on the hands and feet, a little bit of a small problem also have to go outside to ask people to get, time-consuming and expensive, if there is a computer maintenance staff can also be an administrator, why not? For example, sports and arts, which is an important part of cultural activities, many powerful units now attach great importance to the image project, they are willing to invest a lot of money to win some of the honor of the competition in order to show style, if you are good at ball games, singing and dancing, then, congratulations to you, try to carry it forward. For example, calligraphy, painting, a handful of beautiful brush writing welcome banner, a vivid version of the poster, can play a very good publicity effect. Secretarial: This type of professional more popular with small and medium-sized enterprises, relative to the Chinese language, journalism, secretarial profession, the employment of the target is undoubtedly much stronger, so the curriculum, there are a lot of professionalism is very strong content. Such as conference management, office automation, secretarial etiquette, financial management, clerical and records management, etc., some schools even ordering, purchasing are detailed in the teaching program, all the contents of the secretarial practice are taught in place. In this way, compared with the Chinese and news, secretarial graduates, more like a multi-faceted, all kinds of pass, all kinds of things, for good at saving human resources for small and medium-sized enterprises, the choice of secretarial graduates, like choosing a good housekeeper. Foreign languages: foreign language majors are selected for the right reasons. If solved your problem! I hope to give a five-star adoption, thank you!
