Open the Internet, browse the survey report released by **, it is not difficult to find a thought-provoking phenomenon: in the distribution of doctors in various disciplines announced by the state, humanities and social sciences only account for about 23% of the total proportion, while the remaining 77% are occupied by science, engineering, agriculture and medicine. This distribution structure raises the question: Are the employment prospects of doctoral students really so optimistic?
First of all, we must admit that PhD students in science, engineering, agriculture and medicine do have a significant advantage in the job market. The professional knowledge they learn is often closely linked to the country's development strategy, so many scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises, etc. are eager for such talents. However, this does not mean that liberal arts students do not have a place in the job market.
In fact, in the process of finding a teaching position, the doctor of liberal arts did not cry out like an undergraduate. The reasons behind this are worth pondering. First of all, the number of PhDs in liberal arts is relatively small, and the competitive pressure is relatively small. Second, in the process of finding a teaching position, many liberal arts doctors pay more attention to the realization of self-worth and the pursuit of academic ideals, rather than simply the remuneration.
However, when we think deeply about this question, we can't help but ask: does this doctoral structure meet the development needs of the country and society? Should the humanities and social sciences, as important parts of human civilization, receive more attention and support? Should we rethink the current model of doctoral training in order to better meet the needs of society?
We can't deny that PhD students in science, engineering, agriculture and medicine dominate the job market, but this does not mean that PhD students in liberal arts and social sciences should be overlooked. On the contrary, we should encourage more doctoral students in the liberal arts and social sciences to devote themselves to various national undertakings and contribute to the development of the country and the progress of society.
In short, we need to re-examine the current doctoral training model and job market structure in order to better meet the needs of society. This not only requires the joint efforts of all parties, such as universities, scientific research institutions, etc., but also requires the attention and participation of each of us. Let us look forward to a fairer, more reasonable and more diversified doctoral job market, and contribute to the prosperity of the country and the progress of society.
