Introduction.
Recently, Zhang Xuefeng's discussion of the "arts and sciences" issue has once again aroused heated discussions. He felt that the humanities were a service profession in itself and that there had to be a smile, a view that hurt many liberal arts students. However, at this time, an Internet celebrity lawyer posted a **: Taxis don't earn as much as lawyers!This has led to a reflection on the development of the humanities. Based on Zhang Xuefeng's statement and the position of Internet celebrity lawyers, this paper makes a profound analysis of the current development of humanities and social sciences in China.
Zhang Xuefeng's criticism of the College of Arts and Sciences has been questioned.
Zhang Xuefeng sees the humanities as a service industry and puts himself in a very low position. But others say that Mr. Zhang has not completely denied the humanities. The legal counsel of an "influencer" expressed his opinion in a short period of time: "Taxis make even more money than lawyers!."The lawyer felt that the current legal professionals could not even compete with full-time driving, so he did not agree with Zhang Xuefeng's so-called "liberal arts and sciences sub-major" as a service industry. This video has attracted a lot of attention and heated discussions.
However, this is only one fact that the humanities are facing. In recent years, due to the increasing demand for law in China, the competitiveness of this profession has become stronger and stronger, resulting in the low salary level of lawyers in China. On the contrary, depending on supply and demand, drivers are sometimes paid more than lawyers. This phenomenon has aroused the reflection and attention of all walks of life to the humanities.
The future of the humanities is bleak.
In the past, students in the humanities could find a lot of jobs. They may go to an online company to do management work, or they may do marketing in a real estate company. At the same time, liberal arts graduates also have a good salary and can get a good job in a Class A company or a finance company.
But now, the tide has turned. Online companies favor engineering professionals, and the downturn in the real estate market makes it difficult for liberal arts graduates to get satisfying jobs in this major. And now, for liberal arts students, the job of live streaming has become more and more difficult to find. The working hours and salaries in the live streaming industry are low, but there is also a lot of competition. This makes liberal arts students feel that their employment opportunities are difficult to grasp.
However, compared to the traditional humanities, disciplines such as medicine, semiconductors, new energy, and ESG (environmental, social, corporate governance) are developing at an increasingly rapid pace. Such an industry can not only bring huge income, but also have quite good job opportunities. This has led to a lower social status in the humanities, and fewer once-popular job opportunities.
Rethinking Art School Admissions.
In the face of the ever-changing landscape of humanities work, university students have to reflect on their careers and future plans. Due to the rise of the online industry, engineering has become popular, while humanities have fallen into the dilemma of unemployment. However, the humanities play a non-negligible role in cultivating students' humanistic literacy, critical thinking, and creativity.
We need to rethink the status of the humanities and create a broader employment space for university students. In order to improve the quality of students, improve the quality of students, improve the quality of students, improve the quality of students. On this basis, the teaching of humanities and social sciences in colleges and universities should be closely linked with the needs of society, pay attention to the combination of enterprise production practice, and create employment and employment guidance for college students.
Brief summary. At present, humanities graduates are facing a bleak employment situation, and Zhang Xuefeng's "depreciation" of humanities has also caused a lot of controversy. However, we cannot ignore the important role of liberal arts teaching in improving students' creative and humanistic qualities. Under the severe test faced by the humanities, the value of the humanities should be reflected on to create a broader career development space for college students. On this basis, we should further strengthen the support for humanities, strengthen the integration of humanities teaching with social practice, and create more practical operations and guidance for college students.
My thoughts. As an editor, I am acutely aware of the difficulties and challenges faced by the humanities. At the same time, I also believe that the role of the humanities should not be overlooked. As far as my personal experience is concerned, I used to study liberal arts, not for fame and fortune, nor for fame and fortune, but simply like the humanities and creativity.
However, after a series of changes and a fierce talent market, I have rethought my career development. I realized that in this ever-changing, competitive society, passion for a cause alone is not enough. In my work, I have to learn to learn Xi, adjust my ability, and improve my overall quality.
I think that whether it is a liberal arts or science major, you must be clear about your future development direction. We must not only have enough understanding of our own interests, talents, and advantages, but also have a clear understanding of the needs and development direction of the market. In this way, we can better plan our own career and plan for our future.
In short, no matter what subject we choose, we must have a good Xi mentality and a spirit of advancing with the times. Only by continuously improving their own quality and knowledge can they survive in the competition in the workplace.
I would like to conclude by saying that we should not judge the value of the humanities by their jobs and salaries alone. The improvement of humanistic quality is the key to improving the quality of students, improving their overall quality, and improving their overall quality. To this end, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the support and attention to the humanities, and create more opportunities and development space for the candidates of the humanities.
