However, many liberal arts students are facing problems such as employment and salary, and Zhang Xuefeng made it clear in his speech that he believes that there is no way out for liberal arts students below 985 universities.

Problems and Suggestions for Improvement of General Education in China.
i) The backwardness of liberal arts education.
The backwardness of China's liberal arts education is obvious and cannot keep up with the pace of the times. Taking journalism as an example, some time before the world has entered the era of national self-determination, journalism majors are still in the traditional school newspaper typesetting stage. This backward education system has produced a large number of liberal arts graduates who cannot meet the needs of modern society.

Through the complementarity and innovation of skills, liberal arts students can also gain more recognition and benefits in society.

For example, it is recommended to increase the requirements for memorization of classic literary works and the writing of important articles in order to cultivate erudition and literary accomplishment among liberal arts students. Only in this way can liberal arts students better adapt to the needs of social development.

For those majors that do not have actual employment opportunities, they can be adjusted to elective courses or interest courses to guide students to pay more attention to their vocational abilities and social needs.
Extension: Students should also do sufficient research and planning when choosing a major, so as to avoid blindly following the trend and choosing an invalid major, which will eventually lead to increased employment pressure. Cultivate students' vocational awareness and adaptability to better meet the needs of social development.
Arts & Sciences: Considerations and Recommendations.
i) The impact of liberal arts and science courses on student development.
The existence of a separate system of arts and sciences, science students are biased towards technical studies, and liberal arts students are biased towards humanities and social studies, which has caused"There is technology but no thought"with"There are ideas but no technology"situation. This kind of sub-subject mode restricts the all-round development of students and restricts the improvement of students' comprehensive ability.
Expansion: In the face of the division of arts and sciences, students must overcome their dependence on a single subject, focus on interdisciplinary learning, and cultivate comprehensive abilities and ways of thinking. Only talents with comprehensive literacy can better adapt to the changes and development of the future society.
ii) the importance of scientific and technological knowledge.
Although liberal arts students majored in the humanities and social sciences, they should not give up the study of science and technology. Basic knowledge such as mathematics, science, chemistry, biology, etc., can help liberal arts students improve their cognitive level, solve practical problems, and provide more possibilities for daily life and work.
Outreach: Learning about science and technology can not only make up for the lack of liberal arts students, but also increase their knowledge and awareness of the world. The learning of science and technology knowledge can help liberal arts students become more competitive in the workplace and achieve breakthroughs in their personal career development.
iii) Career change options for liberal arts students.
If liberal arts students are not satisfied with their current major, they can consider changing careers and choosing another field. Learning practical skills such as automation programming, electronic engineering, robotics, etc., through training institutions, can open up new career paths, get more stable careers, and higher incomes.
Extension: In the face of career choice, liberal arts students must flexibly adjust their learning direction according to their interests and abilities in order to do a good job in personal career planning and development. Only by having the courage to change and adapt can we stand out in the fierce social competition and gain a broader space for development.
Summary. In today's competitive employment environment, liberal arts students face many challenges and dilemmas. However, they still have the opportunity to realize their personal value and career development by expanding their knowledge, supplementing their skills, taking into account scientific and technological knowledge, and changing careers flexibly. It is important for liberal arts students to constantly improve themselves, overcome traditional concepts and professional barriers, and actively adapt to social changes, so as to be invincible in the fierce competition and create a better future.
