Before Zhang Xuefeng, there was already a saying about the four sinkholes of "biochemical ring materials", and I also knew classmates who graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University and did not find a job.
I think the significance of Zhang Xuefeng's appearance lies in the fact that he has made the public realize the importance of professionalism. The language is a bit absolute and pompous, but for the profession I know and am familiar with, he is right.
Children who come out of small cities and ordinary families have poor information. More than 20 years ago, when we took the college entrance examination, we all applied for majors based on imagination. Luckily, I signed up for a computer computer, and my employment was good, and my classmates were good.
Students who are especially good at studying liberal arts also have good jobs. Some of the students who have made great efforts to switch to finance and computer science have made great efforts to turn to finance, provided that they are all very good. There are also good chemistry jobs, of course, they are all brains that are good to plan in advance.
The audience to which he speaks is ordinary people. Students who come out of small cities, whose parents can't plan and support, and who face the pressure of supporting their families after graduation, he says that it's no problem. We all went to look for a job when we graduated, and those who took the public examination gave up after giving it a try, and more of them were graduate school entrance examinations, and most of them were fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, which were still students of 985 colleges and universities. Ordinary people don't have such a clear goal, but it is much easier to find a job in science and engineering.
Zhang Xuefeng is not a god, don't take every word of his words as a holy decree, he thinks it is a good profession, you can consider it, and you should also do full research (if you have the ability). He felt that it was a sinkhole profession and that he must be cautious. I really like it, you must ask more, don't choose it in a daze, and regret it when you graduate, after all, it takes cost and time to change careers.
A lot of people attack others in black and white, you can listen to what he says or not, after all, he didn't force you to choose, just told you the greatest possibility, which is much stronger than we did more than 20 years ago, if there is such a person, I must be grateful.
Don't mess up the fan circle, just confuse universality and particularity. There are good jobs in liberal arts and bad jobs in science and engineering, but statistically speaking, the answer to which one is better to find a job is still very clear.
