Professor Wang Defeng of Fudan University can be said to be the most pertinent comment on Zhang Xuefeng, he does not agree with Zhang Xuefeng's view on choosing college entrance examination volunteers, but he does not think that Zhang Xuefeng should be criticized, because it is not Zhang Xuefeng who is wrong, but the torrent of the times is irresistible.
Every college entrance examination season, many parents of candidates will consult Zhang Xuefeng about filling in the volunteer and choosing a major, and the basis for Zhang Xuefeng's advice to parents is whether a school or a major is good for employment in the future.
However, in Professor Wang Defeng's view, for candidates, the choice of schools and majors should be based on the candidates' interests and their own characteristics, and candidates should choose schools and majors according to their own strengths and interests, rather than choosing majors according to whether a major is good for employment in the future.
Professor Wang Defeng's views and Zhang Xuefeng's views are obviously contradictory, and in the long run, I personally fully agree with Professor Wang Defeng's views.
First of all, if you want to learn a major well, hobbies are undoubtedly fundamental and fundamental. If you are not interested in a major, under the pressure of exams and employment, a student can also learn a good level of knowledge about the major, but this only helps the student to acquire some useless knowledge that they may soon completely lose. But if interested, a student will be very happy and active to study the major, and eventually the student's knowledge will be useful for life.
Secondly, everyone is born different, everyone has their own endowments, if people can choose their own areas to learn, people can get better development, which is also the most in line with the law of personal development growth path.
Third, Professor Wang Defeng also mentioned another important point, that is, the importance of undergraduate learning is to learn how to learn and how to do research, or to learn a framework system, a framework system for learning or solving problems, because the knowledge at the undergraduate level is not used much in the future practical work, and what is really useful in the work is also the ability to learn and the methodology for solving problems. Therefore, there is no need to go against your own interests and specialties at the undergraduate level, so as to deliberately choose some good employment majors.
However, Professor Wang Defeng did not ignore another reality, that is, in today's society, schools and majors do have a great impact on employment, which is a social reality. Some majors are indeed popular majors, and employment is relatively easy.
Therefore, for many ordinary people who face many practical problems, it is extremely important to find a well-paid job as soon as they graduate. Although this is a short-term goal, and may even seriously affect a person's long-term development, for many ordinary people, being able to solve the current problem of survival far exceeds the urgency of seeking long-term development.
Therefore, Professor Wang Defeng's views are indeed golden and good words, and qualified candidates should still listen to Professor Wang Defeng, and for many ordinary people, perhaps Zhang Xuefeng's views are more in line with reality.
However, in any case, I think that for young people, after solving the problem of survival, young people should still follow Professor Wang Defeng's point of view when considering career and academic development, and try to find a major and career they like as much as possible.
