"Applying for a famous teacher" Zhang Xuefeng was forcibly hospitalized, who did he offend?

Text | Rice grain mother

Every year in the college entrance examination season, the application is a hot topic, comparable to the popularity of the college entrance examination essay, after all, the sense of participation is very strong, who has not ordered the tragic history of "applying for the pit"?

This year, because of the controversy about "journalism" of some big Vs, it has become more lively.

The reason is that Zhang Xuefeng, a "famous teacher for postgraduate examinations", was asked in a live broadcast that children with 590 points in the science examination wanted to apply for journalism majors, and parents wanted to ask Zhang Xuefeng's opinion.

Zhang Xuefeng said emotionally: It's better to touch a major with your eyes closed than news, if I were a parent, I would knock my child unconscious at the first time and change his major.

Professor Zhang Xiaoqiang of the Department of Journalism of Chongqing University directly bombarded Zhang Xuefeng, calling on everyone to "don't be fooled by an Internet celebrity like Zhang Xuefeng, he is not shallow in harming people and misleading the public."

Zhang Xuefeng reasoned that it was difficult to find employment in journalism, and 80% of journalism graduates later changed careers. A child with 590 points in science has so many majors to choose from, why do you have to stare at a "sinkhole professional" newspaper?

And Professor Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally also has to call for his major, taking his graduate students as an example, telling everyone that journalism has a wide range of employment, in addition to mainstream media, you can also start your own business, you can go to Internet factories, you can test for civil servants, you can enter state-owned enterprises...

The two of them "say that it is reasonable and that the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable", because of the different positions and angles, I think even if the battle is 300 rounds, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. Teacher Zhang Xuefeng was admitted to the hospital "with a bad hand", perhaps it was simply "thirty-six plans, hiding as the best plan".

In fact, not only journalism, everyone casually go to the Internet to search, what "inventory of sinkhole majors who are unemployed after graduation", "the legendary top ten sinkhole majors, it is difficult to find employment with high scores", "eight major pit people majors, who reports who regrets" ...

We interviewed two colleagues in our office who graduated from journalism

Indeed, they said that among their college classmates, there are not many who are still fighting in the media industry, and they can count ten fingers, and others, including those who take public examinations, go to consulting companies, become teachers, do translators, and various large enterprises, foreign companies, and private enterprises, as Professor Zhang Xiaoqiang said, have a wide range of employment

And the reason why people do not do media is also very complicated, some people have unrealistic fantasies about journalism before going to college, such as wanting to be "war correspondents"; Some people learn journalism or engage in journalism and find that the job they aspire to is different; There are also some media people who have been exposed to different industries, become interested in certain specific fields, and directly change careers...

Colleagues said that when I went to newspapers and magazines for internships, I found that many financial journalists were from economics, medical journalists had medical backgrounds, and many journalists graduated from Chinese departments, and there were very few real journalism students.

In fact, many majors have such practical problems, and the employment direction after graduation is not the same as the major they have studied, and even can't be beaten.

For example, those who studied physics went to work in banks, those who studied chemistry went to financial companies...

Teacher Zhang Xuefeng is a "god-like" existence in the eyes of many parents, and the reason is simple, because of poor information.

He actually gave those parents who are not well informed, some to choose professional directions.

Before Mi Li's mother wrote in "This sentence mentioned by parents in the college entrance examination, let me make up my mind to pay attention to this matter...", we Chinese parents, focus on the college entrance examination for 18 years, research and apply for 18 days (this is a lot).

Not just the bottom, I think most parents and children don't know how to apply.

Zhang Xuefeng's suggestion seems to be a big truth, but what he values, the first is employment, the second is what the child is good at, including geographical selection, professional direction, and future postgraduate examination, he will also measure, but does not consider the child's ideals and preferences.

There is nothing wrong with employment orientation, especially for suffering children, who have no resources at home and cannot be supported, and can only rely on their own hard work, so parents consider the future employment prospects of this major, how much money they can make, and whether they can support themselves as soon as they graduate, which is understandable.

But ah, today the rice grain mother wants to say two other things -

First, ideals, how important it is for an 18-year-old young man.

In recent years, Mi Grain mother has interviewed more than N people, looking at their majors in college, which is completely wrong with the position they applied for, some have studied mathematics to apply for editing, and some have studied artificial intelligence to apply for selection... If you ask carefully, you are "delayed" by your parents filling in the volunteers, and a few years after graduation, I still want to try to turn my dream into reality

- Apply for teacher training, be a stable teacher, and winter and summer vacations;

- Learn accounting, no wind and sun, and the older you get, the more delicious you are;

- Study medicine, there is a doctor at home, it is convenient to see a doctor in the future;

- Learn finance, become a white-collar worker in the future, make a lot of money and be decent;

- Learn computer, how hot this major is, don't worry about finding a job in the future;

- What civil engineering does a girl learn? Running to the construction site all day?

……

Familiar?

How many 18-year-old children's dreams have been extinguished by their parents' phrase "not beaten by society".

Why the teenager who broke into the stadium and hugged Messi moved countless adults, because he did what only this age has the courage to do.

The ideal of an 18-year-old child may seem immature and unrealistic to adults, but this is the only way to go. If children choose and live exactly according to our ideas, then they will live a "parent's life" at a glance!

Mi Li's mother remembers that a few years ago, a "left-behind girl" in Hunan who scored 676 points in the college entrance examination applied for the archaeology major of Peking University.

The whole explosion on the Internet exploded!

Many people sneered: children from poor families just don't know, learn such an unpopular major, and you will cry when looking for a job in the future!

But this girl is not hot-headed and reported to Peking University archaeology, but has liked history and cultural relics since she was a child, and was even more influenced by Mr. Fan Jinshi.

This year, a post-00s girl from Shandong Province was sent to Peking University because she loved the minority Sanskrit language Pali. People are not following the trend, or on a whim, this child has regarded Mr. Ji Xianlin as an idol since he was a child.

If we consider employment and salary from the perspective of adults, then these two girls should be "knocked out by their parents and forced to change majors".

In fact, children who can know what they like and want are very remarkable.

But the premise is that the child has a minimum understanding of this major, rather than brainlessly following the trend, looking at what major the same journal is, what he has to learn.

Therefore, parents have a long way to go, chicken babies are not just a matter of fighting words, but also have a longer-term plan and pattern, cultivate children's interests, and let them find their true love.

Now the college entrance examination has been reformed into 3+3 or 3+1+2, and I was previously in "The middle school entrance examination has been rolled into this? Parents of Haidian primary school students are panicked...", the new college entrance examination this form of regardless of literature and science, seems to give children more choices, more opportunities, in fact, for children and parents, it is more difficult, because it actually puts the college entrance examination choice in front.

In other words, a responsible parent must have discussed with his child before he or she enters high school, that is, at the junior high school stage, what major to apply for in the future and what subjects to choose for the college entrance examination.

Although the final subject to choose is decided before the college entrance examination, in fact, most schools start to let children choose subjects in the first year of high school.

Second, the world is constantly changing, and there are no options that can be left once and for all.

Many parents will give priority to some popular majors when applying for their children, such as financial fever, school finance, computer fever, and computer fever, but don't forget that the world is constantly changing.

When entering university, majors are important, but we must cultivate a mentality that embraces change at any time.

Rice grain mother once wrote in "After exchanging lives with friends, I have a new understanding of choosing a chicken head or a phoenix tail..." that American universities basically have honors colleges, and students with good grades can join honors colleges, but you have to take the initiative to apply.

I am the kind of person who wants to try everything, when I was studying in the United States, my thought was: anyway, if you can't apply, there is no loss, but if you apply, won't you make a lot of money?

▲ American campus, the scenery is still very beautiful, rice grain mother has liked to take pictures since she was a child, and I have taken pictures of almost every corner of the school

It turns out how clever my idea is! The benefits of joining the Honors Academy are simply too many. First, it can "fully customize" the course you want to take for four years.

At that time, Mi Li Ma upgraded all courses to advanced versions, replaced all undergraduate courses in business schools with MBA courses, and took them with top 500 executives with rich practical experience (undergraduate tuition is much cheaper than MBA, I feel that I have made a lot of money hahaha).

Other courses I'm interested in, such as anthropology, sociology, art, literature, history, nutrition, media... I took the majors of their junior and senior majors.

I've found that a lot of the courses you find boring are because you haven't been exposed to the advanced version

Later, when the credits were full, I went directly to audit the class, no credits, anyway, it didn't cost money, it didn't matter, I also fell in love with anthropology.

In fact, everyone's current thoughts or plans for the future are based on the current cognition, when you enter the larger world, you will find that in fact, everyone has infinite possibilities, do not set limits on yourself.

Now it is very convenient to study for a double degree in domestic universities, or if you are particularly interested in which major, you can also go to the class, when your cognition expands, you have more choices.

I took so many courses in the United States back then, I never thought that there is now an industry called "self-media", and my dream of becoming a writer since I was a child actually came true with the accumulation of word by word in the public account, and I really published two books hahaha~

In fact, it is really not easy for our generation to raise a baby, not only want to pave the way for children to walk more smoothly, but also afraid that with our current vision, we will not be able to illuminate the future path of our children.

We must grow up with our children, embrace the changes of the times, and embrace all kinds of possibilities.

Tell children that being admitted to university is not the end of learning, but the beginning of a new journey in life, and that only lifelong learning can respond to changes with no change, which is the foundation of a person's life.
