In recent years, with the popularization of university education and the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend, the employment situation of college graduates has gradually become severe. More and more university graduates are finding that despite their excellent academic qualifications, they are struggling to find themselves in the job market. Especially for students with a regular undergraduate degree, finding a dream job becomes extremely difficult. For example, there was a recent ** report that a Peking University graduate could only work as a teller, which caused endless complaints and regrets from netizens.
For this Peking University girl, she chose a relatively unpopular major and encountered many difficulties in the process of job hunting. She interviewed several units, but was rejected in all of them. Eventually, after submitting nearly 300 resumes, she received only one offer from a teller at a state-owned bank. As a graduate of a top university in China, her choice is indeed a little incomprehensible.
This incident has triggered a wide range of public thinking about the employment of college students. On the one hand, some people think that this girl's choice is too contrarian, after all, she graduated from Peking University and has a broader career choice. On the other hand, some people have questioned the economic environment and the job market, believing that this phenomenon highlights the huge pressure on college students to find employment.
For graduates with an ordinary bachelor's degree, the pressure on employment is huge. They need to face expectations and doubts from their families, classmates, and society, as well as financial pressures such as rent and living expenses. In this case, many graduates can only choose to enter the service industry to engage in basic work in order to maintain a certain standard of living. They are often in a desperate position to choose between losing their jobs and being stuck in low-end jobs.
This incident also raises questions about the choice of major. In order to be admitted to the university of their choice, many students will choose unpopular majors. Although they were successfully admitted, they found that the employment prospects for this major were not ideal after graduation. This reminds students to carefully consider the development prospects of their majors when filling in the college entrance examination application.
In particular, there is a certain difference between the sciences and the liberal arts. Due to the existence of professional barriers, it is more difficult for science students to find employment across majors. Therefore, science students should choose in a way that prioritizes majors. Liberal arts students, on the other hand, can be given preference to prestigious schools because liberal arts majors are more likely to develop across majors. Of course, this is only a tendentious suggestion, and students should make rational choices based on their own interests and abilities.
For this Peking University graduate's choice, I feel both understanding and helpless. The issue of employment after graduation is a hot topic and difficult problem in reality, especially for graduates with a regular bachelor's degree. However, we should not simply look at the problem, but should think about and solve the problem fundamentally.
First of all, the choice of major is very important for students. When considering filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, it is necessary to consider many aspects, combine personal interests with employment prospects, and make rational decisions.
Secondly, the education department should strengthen the guidance and supervision of the professional setting of colleges and universities. Colleges and universities should be encouraged to offer majors that are more in line with the needs of society and provide more direct support for graduates' employment.
Finally, society and enterprises also have the responsibility to provide more practical Xi and employment opportunities for college students. By guiding outstanding talents to enter different fields, the employability of graduates can be improved and the employment pressure can be reduced.
In short, the employment of college students is a complex and long-term social problem. Only through comprehensive reform and joint efforts can we provide a better employment environment and a broader space for development for the majority of college students.
