Is the classical literature major very unpopular? Is classical literature a good job?

With the popularity of more and more traditional cultural documentaries in China, occupations related to history, literature and traditional culture have also been sought after by a large number of students, and many related liberal arts disciplines and majors have reached a new peak. So as one of the liberal arts majors, is the classical literature major very unpopular? Is classical literature a good job?

First, is the classical literature major very unpopular?

A: It's really unpopular.

The main reasons are composed of the following two reasons.

1, the major is obscure and difficult to learn, and the social awareness is low.

As a knowledge subject far away from life, classical literature is not only boring, but also has no direct connection with ordinary life, and its social awareness is lower than that of other liberal arts majors.

In fact, this kind of major is also difficult to learn: not only the content of study is obscure, but also the knowledge is rich, the thinking is broad enough, and the professional knowledge is solid, and it is even called Huitong Arts and Sciences.

2. There are relatively few colleges and universities, and there is a big gap in heat.

In addition, the popularity of classical literature is also reflected in the number of colleges and universities. Taking the enrollment of colleges and universities in Sichuan in 20 19 as an example, only two colleges and universities in one batch offered this major, while only 1 college in the second batch.

Compared with Chinese language and literature, a group of universities with 10 offer this major, and the second group has 17 universities. Although not as popular as accounting, it is far more popular than classical literature.

It is worth mentioning that due to the large-scale enrollment of colleges and universities offering this major, it is impossible to analyze the enrollment enthusiasm of this major from the enrollment plan and admission scores, but according to the students' reactions, most majors have been adjusted.

Note: Large-scale enrollment refers to the enrollment mode of integrating multiple majors into one class. In this mode, the enrollment plan and professional scores announced by the school are counted by professional category.

Summary: Classical philology is professional and difficult to learn, and there are quite few colleges and universities. Based on these two points, we can think that classical philology is really unpopular.

Second, is the employment of classical literature good?

A: Not good for employment.

As mentioned above, the major of classical philology is strong, but the social awareness is not high, which leads to the poor employment of graduates of this major.

After graduating from this major, continuing education is recommended in most cases. If you need employment, you can consider employment in publishing houses, libraries, and cultural industry-related departments. Generally speaking, employment restrictions are relatively large.

Statistics show that among 79 literary majors, the comprehensive employment of classical philology ranks 75th, while among 7 language and literature majors in China, this major ranks 7th.

It is worth knowing that the 13th Five-Year Plan for the development of national cultural relics clearly mentions that by 2020, 1 museum will cover 250,000 people, which means that the demand for related majors will increase, and classical philology is also worth looking forward to.

Summary: From the statistical data, professional nature and job market, classical philology is not good for employment at present, but it may turn for the better with the implementation of relevant plans.
