Dear parents, do you remember those years when we chose the majors with great expectations? At that time, they shone brightly in the admissions brochure, as if they were the golden key to the future. However, reality is often much harsher than imagined. Today, I want to talk to you about the six undergraduate majors that seem to be "lofty", but in fact have a bumpy road to employment.
The first, artistic design. What was once the cradle of artists is now an "artist unemployed team". Van Gogh once said, "For the sake of bread, I have to paint." But in the job market, the phrase seems to apply only to himself. Design students, are you still struggling for the dream of "creative director" on your resume?
The second, English major. What was once a global linguistic bridge is now being criticized as a "jack-of-all-trades". Russell once said, "To learn any language is to open up to the world." But in reality, it might be more appropriate to translate it as "can't find a job." There is fierce competition for employment, and fluency in English is no longer the only pass.
The third is marketing. It sounds glamorous, but the reality is that "the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys". Warren Buffett once said, "Find what others overlook, and then invest." "But in today's business world, no matter how good a marketing strategy is, if no one knows about it, it's useless.
Fourth, human resources. Once a symbol of white-collar workers, it is now facing "crowd tactics". Henry Ford once said, "The work of the future will be done by those who know nothing about machines." "But in the era of the rise of AI, the work content of human resources is quietly changing.
Fifth, news dissemination. In the era of information explosion, journalism talent seems to have emerged. However, under the impact of new media, the golden age of traditional media has passed. Mark Twain once said, "The real world is always better than fiction." Today, this may be "in the real world, it is harder to find a job".
And the last one, computer science. The darling of tech giants, but behind the myth of high salaries for programmers, there is late-night overtime without digital farmers. Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." "But did you find the one percent inspiration?
Children, every major has its value, and the key is how to find your own position in the changes. Parents and friends, let us encourage them to explore their interests, and at the same time, think more about their career planning. After all, what's right is best, isn't it?
Remember to like and retweet, so that these words can bring a little inspiration to more confused students. Education is not just a choice, it is a guide to find their own path. After all, there is still a long way to go in life, and the choice of starting point is just the beginning.
