Not long ago, at a job fair in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, a liberal arts university graduate complained that "the employment environment of liberal arts students is much worse than that of science students, not only with fewer jobs but also with low salary." What happened to this liberal arts student at the Ningbo Job Fair really reflects the overall situation of the current employment of liberal arts students and science students. That is, all walks of life in society, the overall demand for science talents is relatively strong, and the corresponding jobs are more, as for the salary, it has little to do with what to learn, mainly depending on what skills are mastered in job hunting, as well as the scarcity and level of this skill. For example, everyone knows that software engineering is easy to find a job, and the salary is good, and this major, as a representative of science majors, is well known for its current employment environment and situation. However, if a liberal arts student is majoring in accounting and has the qualification of a certified public accountant, then the salary of this liberal arts student will inevitably not be lower than that of this software engineer, and it is likely to be higher than it.
It is actually normal for liberal arts students to have a worse employment environment than science students. This difference refers to the fact that liberal arts students have fewer employment opportunities than science students, fewer jobs, and greater competition for employment. This normal means that from the perspective of social development, science majors cover industry, agriculture, medical and other industries, these industries with the development of society business is more and more wide, more and more, and the economic organizations involved are also more and more jobs, while the liberal arts are limited to management industries, these industries will gradually shrink with the development of society and then have fewer jobs.
At the same time, from the perspective of the country's education system, the number of students studying liberal arts in high schools around the country is far less than that of science students, and the general liberal arts high school students only account for about 30% of science high school students, and the liberal arts majors recruited by various colleges and universities only account for about 30% of science majors, which naturally leads to the employment opportunities of liberal arts students, and there are fewer jobs than science students, which is very normal.
But some people took advantage of the complaints of this liberal arts student at the Ningbo job fair to say some fallacies. Some people say that liberal arts don't need to be studied, so why spend money to study, aren't they stupid? Some say that the liberal arts are useless and should be abolished.
Although it is true that there are fewer liberal arts jobs than science jobs in general, the demand for liberal arts students in some specific fields such as education, justice, art and other industries is still higher than that of science students.
But some people say that liberal arts don't need to be studied, and it's a fool to spend money on liberal arts. I want to ask this kind of person, are you born gods or something? Can you play the piano without studying? Can you paint without studying? Do you naturally know how to do tax refunds without studying? Moreover, some liberal arts majors are also very brain-burning and it is not easy to get a college diploma, such as: traditional Chinese medicine, law, etc., and the difficulty of these majors is even much higher than that of most science majors.
As for the argument that the liberal arts are useless at all, it would be even more absurd to abolish such statements.
The liberal arts are not only useful but also useful, because the liberal arts focus on the knowledge of spirit, ideology, rule of law, management, etc., and are mainly responsible for the development direction of people and things. Science, on the other hand, focuses on microscopic laws, mechanical technology, information technology and other pioneering knowledge, which is the core knowledge and skills for inventing and creating various tools.
Science determines what things are, and liberal arts dictates how those things are managed and used. For example, if there is a breakthrough in nuclear energy technology, but there is no scientific management of the use of nuclear energy, then nuclear energy may harm mankind and not benefit mankind.
Therefore, if there is no scientific and solid knowledge of liberal arts, it will not establish correct spiritual beliefs and humanistic thoughts, and the direction of its development will be wrong, and then all kinds of industrial products made with scientific knowledge, especially the military industry, will become a murder weapon that endangers society and mankind, which is very terrible.
In fact, liberal arts knowledge and science knowledge are complementary, mutually reinforcing, and mutually reinforcing. The rich background of liberal arts can inspire and guide people to explore science and invent more diligently and with more concentration. If you learn science knowledge well, you can create more and better products for people to better meet the needs of human life and development.
The progress of society, the strength of the country and the development of mankind require a large number of scientific talents, as well as a large number of liberal arts talents.
Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. How much a person can achieve is not necessarily determined by what he or she does, but by how well he does what he does and how much he contributes to others and society.
Science students and CUHK scientists are talented, and liberal arts students are also full of great wisdom. As a liberal arts student, don't be arrogant just because you choose liberal arts, feel inferior, and feel that your future is bleak. In fact, the fundamental reason why liberal arts students are embattled and do not mix well is not because of the major you are studying, but because you do not really grasp and use professional knowledge flexibly.
In a region of spiritual emptiness, chaotic management, and moral decay, the more advanced science and technology become, the more dangerous it becomes. It is hoped that people can fully realize the importance and necessity of liberal arts knowledge, treat liberal arts majors rationally, treat liberal arts students well, abandon prejudice against liberal arts and liberal arts students, and work together to create a good atmosphere for both liberal arts and sciences to create brilliance.
