Still believe in the "Tiankeng" profession?
Don't pit hobbies against employment
■ Viewpoint
Which major to choose in college, may wish to ask yourself first.
The scores of the college entrance examination in 2022 will be announced one after another, and filling in and volunteering has become the top priority of current students and parents.
Among them, what major to choose has once again become one of the hot topics.
In the Internet era of information explosion, there are more channels to express different voices, which is a good thing, but it is not easy to find an informative and comprehensive professional guide.
On social platforms, there are "professional persuasion posts" that claim to be the experience of predecessors everywhere. From the earliest majors of "Four Tiankeng" in biochemical environmental materials, to civil engineering and machinery that cannot escape "running with buckets", in recent years Even popular majors such as computer and finance have been labeled as "35-year-old crisis" and "Benshuo teller".
Looking around, it seems that college majors are full of "tiankeng".
But as long as you analyze it carefully, the reasons for these "professional dismissal posts" are nothing more than "hard to learn, hard to find employment, and less money."
For some majors, it is even considered that "students who do not have mines at home should choose carefully." It seems that students from ordinary families will naturally lose the qualifications and rights to apply for certain majors.
The internal logic of this kind of "popular science post" that unveils the mystery of the profession is neither scientific nor too narrow. The method of measuring "professional value" is not only simple and rude, but also has strong subjective bias. Unemployment" is a hasty conclusion and is extremely irresponsible.
This not only fails to answer questions for candidates, but also makes candidates who lack the ability to obtain information misunderstand some majors.
Therefore, too subjective and one-sided "professional pit avoidance guide" is not credible.
Candidates who are filling in the application may wish to comprehensively collect relevant professional information according to their own interests and abilities, so as to avoid partiality, not to be misled by the so-called "appearances" of their predecessors, and not to be coerced by the so-called "popular majors". own inner choice.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no need to consider practical issues such as employment when choosing a major, but it is recommended to start from the "fitness" between one's own situation and the major, so as to avoid making a decision based on what others say.
After all, it is difficult to break down the barriers of professional understanding when the concept of employment dominates.
This requires vigilance.
What's more, in reality, in the face of professional choice, interest and "Qian Jing" are not always contradictory. There is no need to blindly emphasize the opposition, but to look at the professional system of colleges and universities from a utilitarian perspective.
I am fortunate to be able to choose a field that I am more interested in and excel at, and the joy and sense of accomplishment I get during the process are difficult to simply judge by how much money I make.
Choosing a university major is one of life's choices, not the only one.
Why not start your next four years of university life with confidence and love?
They are not only about professional choices, but also about the password of happiness in life.
