4 embarrassing professional warnings are worrisome about employment prospects, and parents need to be wary of their children's choices
When it comes to choosing a university course, there are some courses that were once highly sought-after but are now facing a worrying employment situation. As parents, we need to be aware of these changes and guide our children to make informed choices. This article will provide parents with four slightly awkward college courses.
Journalism major. The profession of journalist used to be a dream pursued by many young people. However, with the rise of the Internet and social networking, the traditional news model has been hit like never before. Journalists, as the uncrowned kings of the world, are now declining. Unless you serve state institutions within the system, the future and income of journalism are at stake. It is worth mentioning that the choice of journalism major should be carefully considered, because unless you have the opportunity to enter the system, you are likely to face unemployment after graduation.
Extension: With the development of the Internet, the traditional model of journalism has been completely subverted. Tradition has encountered unprecedented difficulties, and journalists are facing tremendous post-journalistic pressures. But at the same time, the development of the Internet and self-education has also provided new employment opportunities for journalism students. By creating and operating autonomously, they can build their presence on online platforms. In addition, journalism students can also become professionals in planning, public relations, advertising and other related industries to broaden their employment fields.
Teacher Training Programs.
The teaching profession used to be a good choice, with a good income and a high social status. However, with increased competition and a decrease in the number of newborns, the employment prospects of teachers have gradually deteriorated. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of applicants for the teacher qualification examination, and the competition is extremely fierce. At the same time, the number of newborns continues to decline, leading to a decrease in the demand for teachers. Parents should guide their children to realize that the teaching profession is no longer a surefire profession, and if children do not have a clear plan and strong interest in the teaching profession, they may face many challenges if they blindly choose the teaching profession.
Expansion: Despite the relatively poor employment situation for teacher training graduates, the education sector remains an important field and the demand for excellent teachers remains high. Parents can encourage their children to pay attention to cultivating their personal strengths and comprehensive qualities when choosing a teaching career. In addition, the reform and development of the education profession has also provided more opportunities for teachers to broaden their careers by continuing their education, changing careers, or starting their own companies.
Architecture. Architecting was once a dream profession for many young people. However, as China's urbanization process gradually enters its peak, the development of the construction industry has also encountered bottlenecks. In addition, the construction industry is closely related to the real estate industry, and with the downturn in the real estate market, professionals in construction-related industries are also facing employment pressure. In addition, the decrease in the number of newborns has also led to a decrease in demand from the construction industry. As a result, those who choose to undergo construction training may face greater employment pressure in the current situation.
Expansion: The construction industry is challenging, but there is still some potential. Parents can encourage their children to choose a major in the construction industry, focusing on improving their skills and creativity. They can focus on the construction needs of the future society in areas such as sustainable buildings and smart buildings, so as to find new development opportunities. In addition, the recovery of the construction industry will also be affected by the ** investment policy, so they can pay attention to the country's infrastructure policy and look for employment opportunities.
Degree in English. English majors were once an option for many people seeking an international career, but now they face uncertainty about their job prospects. Compared to other degrees, English graduates have relatively little industry knowledge, and most companies value their employees' practical skills and industry knowledge more. In addition, the development of artificial intelligence has also had an impact on the language services industry, and the popularity of machine translation tools has reduced the need for traditional translation jobs. As a result, English graduates are faced with the dilemma of not having a clear career direction and future.
Extension: Although the employment prospects of English graduates are uncertain, the status of English as an international lingua franca cannot be ignored. Parents can encourage their children to choose English majors, focusing on cultivating their comprehensive quality and cross-cultural communication skills. They can choose English-related industries such as international**, foreign language teaching, translation and consulting, etc., to enrich their professional knowledge and skills. They can also learn other languages to improve their competitiveness.
In conclusion, as parents, we should guide our children to pay attention to changes and trends in the labor market and help them make informed career choices. While some of the once-popular fields of training are not looking forward to employment today, that doesn't mean everyone can't succeed in these fields. The key is to find a development direction that suits you and constantly improve your skills and qualities.
