From obsession with the "iron rice bowl" to flexible and emerging career choices, in recent years, many young people have favored emerging careers, tended to flexible employment, and became "new professionals" guided by hobbies.
"Post-90s" Xiaoxiao is an accompanying doctor in Lanzhou. She claims to be a "private guide". Her daily work is to help people in need register, pay, collect and send medicines. The main service targets are the elderly and pregnant women. , the disabled, patients in different places and other special groups, as well as some young people who see a doctor alone, some will find her through social platforms.
"The prospect of accompanying doctors is very good, and the market is very broad." Xiaoxiao conducted a market survey before starting her career. In her opinion, the pace of aging is accelerating, young people are under great work pressure, and digital medical products are increasing. Influence, professional accompanying physicians can solve many tedious matters for patients who frequently seek medical treatment or seek medical treatment in different places.
"Compared to the frugality of their parents, young people are now willing to pay for professionals to step in," she said.
Xiaoxiao believes that as a qualified accompanying doctor, one needs to have basic medical knowledge, be familiar with the addresses of all local hospitals and the medical treatment process, and draw a "medical treatment map" in his mind.
In addition, you need to be enthusiastic, patient, and careful, to become the patient's "emotional catcher" and "medical steward", put yourself in the patient's shoes, and "be more concerned about your family's affairs."
The 33-year-old Jiuyue is Xiaoxiao's partner, and she was an early adopter in Lanzhou to accompany the doctor.
She is also optimistic about the development prospect of accompanying clinicians. She resigned from the beauty industry a year ago and worked as an accompanying clinician full-time. She has grown from a single person to a team of 20 people today.
She said frankly that the accompanying doctor has free time and a considerable monthly income. She can work full-time or part-time, which is a good employment direction.
Since starting her business, she has often received consultations from many young job seekers.
In the past three years, in addition to the new occupations officially recognized by China, organizers, milk tea tasters, snail noodle smellers, calorie planners, pet bakers, secret room designers, mobile phone morticians, door-to-door chefs, etc. have emerged. , and radiate from first- and second-tier cities in the Mainland to third- and fourth-tier cities.
Especially in Northwest China, young people's recognition and acceptance of new occupations are gradually increasing.
Inspired by "young mothers who earn more than 10,000 yuan a month as home cooks" on the Internet, Zhao Xiaobei, a "post-95" in Lanzhou, became a "home cook".
"I prefer cooking, and I want to be brave enough to try new things," he said.
"Now I can train newcomers online and pass on my experience to them." "Post-90s" Shang Ye became a storage teacher in 2019 after resigning from the traditional industry, and is now quite well-known in the industry.
When it comes to transformation, she said that instead of "eating the old" in traditional industries, it is better to break the rules and strive in new fields.
Ma Chengming, an associate professor at the School of Media and Communication, Northwest Normal University, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 20th that in recent years, "Internet +" has promoted the upgrading and innovation of traditional industries, and has also changed people's traditional concepts of employment and consumption. The operation of contact has been widely accepted, especially the "home-style lifestyle" of young people, and the pursuit of personalized life has also greatly promoted the continuous creation of new jobs, creating a large number of "new jobs".
Ma Chengming said that some young people are participating in the market of emerging occupations, which shows that the concept of employment is constantly changing. This is related to the fact that young people are more willing to choose freelance work and do not like the restricted living conditions.
