Zhang Xuefeng has always been the focus of attention from students and parents, and he has provided wise advice to many students and guided many confused college students back on the right track. He faced everyone with direct and close-to-life words, and was evaluated by his classmates as "deeply favored by the Taimiao".
This shows that many students have a lot of trust and support for him. Some time ago, he caused an uproar in the field of journalism, and he used his own strength to confront journalism professors in court, and at the same time, many aspiring journalism students chose to find other paths. Recently, however, he has once again proposed a new interpretation of the liberal arts major.
In a recent exchange, one parent said that her child could score 140 in math, but did not want to choose science. Zhang Xuefeng responded: All liberal arts can be regarded as a service industry, and it can be summed up in one word as "licking". Parents mentioned that if they choose a science college, they may be a little inferior in level, and Ms. Zhang asked rhetorically whether she hopes to go to university at a low level of school or work in the future in the industry. He even mentions that a lawyer is essentially a sales role.
This response immediately aroused the disgust of liberal arts students, and some said: This is simply grandstanding, and they have no idea about the value of liberal arts. Some people responded dissatisfiedly: The waist of liberal arts people is not weak, do you think Lu Xun and Li Ao are "licking"? Liberal arts can promote social progress, and so on. However, there are many who agree with him. In fact, I think that the characteristics of liberal arts lie within the system, but the value created is relatively low, and we cannot use examples like Lu Xun and Li Ao to oppose Zhang Xuefeng's remarks.
In response to this controversy, Zhang Xuefeng issued an apology statement, saying: "It is not a bad thing to work in the service industry, I am also in the service industry, in essence, I want to remind everyone to understand it at the beginning of their career when choosing a career." For the competition between arts and sciences, he believes that there is no need to overemphasize the high and low, and the existence of arts and sciences is for the balance of society.
At present, most jobs belong to the service industry, and not every science and engineering student can work in scientific research. For example, science is like a maker of machine parts, while liberal arts play a role in coordination and bonding, both of which are indispensable.
The service industry may still be remembered as a food service provider and a salesperson, so it is easy to misunderstand. However, the service industry is not divided into arts and sciences, high and low, only the service and the serviced, and has little to do with the major. Moreover, everyone may be serving others or being served.
But then again, if you want to make more money, choosing science and engineering may be more realistic. It is true that the salaries of most science graduates are higher than those of liberal arts students, especially in majors such as law and finance. In the liberal arts, in addition to the public examination and the examination of the editor, most of the other majors are considered to enter the system, and everyone also understands the salary level in the system.
The liberal arts major focuses on practicality and theory, theory can help students build deep understanding and analytical skills, and only the combination of theory and practice can cultivate talents who can flexibly apply knowledge. Liberal arts majors cultivate thinking skills, communication skills, and humanistic qualities, such as history, Chinese language and literature, and other majors, which are usually good communication and innovative thinking skills, and such people can achieve certain achievements in any industry.
There is no need for students to be overly anxious and think that there is no future for them if they choose liberal arts. Liberal arts majors can enhance personal literacy. In addition, although Mr. Zhang's view is direct, the current service industry has covered many fields, including education, medical care, catering, finance, etc., and the core of most work is the service industry.
The employment scope of liberal arts students is also quite wide, although most of them choose to take the public examination and the examination editor, but it is not the only choice, and there are many fields such as enterprise management and cultural media, which are also suitable for liberal arts students. At the same time, don't assume that science students can work in high-end jobs, most of them are also practitioners in the service industry.
Therefore, we should not narrow the industry. Zhang Xuefeng only reflected the reality of society in a blunt way. When choosing a career, you should make decisions based on your personal abilities and interests, and don't blindly follow trends. At the same time, it is recommended that the majority of netizens should not over-interpret one-sided remarks when commenting, should understand the whole picture of the matter, surf the Internet with a civilized attitude, and avoid easily hurting others. Thanks to Mr. Zhang's tenacity, otherwise he might not dare to say some more truths.
