This is a problem. Every graduate will have an expectation for his job after graduation. Under this expectation, he tends to turn down job opportunities that do not meet his own standards. Maybe the salary is too low, or maybe the position is not what you want. In this regard, under the current circumstances, I can give students more practical advice: do it first, because now people pick you, not you.
In fact, the same situation is not only in the media industry, but also in investment banks. I think that when times are good, investment banks grab talents at high prices, making this industry the hottest and most enviable industry, because the annual salary you can get after graduation may not be available in other industries for decades. So many people, whether they like it or not, have to sharpen their heads and enter this industry for money.
This is another question. When choosing a major, don't look at the prospect of this major according to your own interests. Four years of college seems to have a clear goal, but such a choice is often affected by changes in the external environment, because the industry fluctuates and the demand will change. Often a few years after graduation, the world changes.
This situation also occurs in the media major, and the school bears great responsibility for it. A few years ago, the media industry was very popular, so all schools, large and small, set up media majors and enrolled a lot of students. However, if you think rationally, there are so many media. Unless you change careers and retire, the radish pit has long been occupied. Where will there be so many opportunities? But regardless of these, the school will accept students and earn tuition. If we want to provide some practical suggestions, it is that when choosing schools, we should look at the employment rate of graduates from these schools. Of course, the employment rate can also be wet, so we must be cautious.
My friend's children applied for an MBA in the United States this year, with high scores and good experience. He worked in an American investment bank for two years before. It is reasonable to say that those top business schools are rushing to get it, but this time he really has no psychological bottom. This is because this year's competition is too great. Many bankers abandoned by Wall Street choose to go back to campus and study in business school for two years. After two years, the market will be better.
No matter how confident officials talk about it, it is a reality that the economy is deteriorating. Those frank economists will honestly tell you that the economy is cyclical. A few years ago, graduates scrambled for it in the market, but now no one wants it. This is a normal thing and can be changed without confidence. In this case, when looking for a job, lower some requirements and seize the opportunity. That's the most practical way, unless that's the case, work is not for making a living, but for interest.
When I graduated from college, I thought it was easy to find a job, but it was not. It was really hard for some students who were bent on finding an iron rice bowl and a good job in everyone's mind to watch them find relationships and enter through the back door. As a result, they may be defeated by their competitors. Those of us who don't care about the iron rice bowl and good reputation have many opportunities. Anyway, we just want a job, get paid and learn something. After graduating from college, I went to Shenzhen, where I worked as an assistant to the general manager of state-owned enterprises, an operator and a hotel front desk. I accepted these job opportunities because at least I need a job to support myself. The harvest is: I learned to distinguish different people from different people, and I can practice English, but I am an assistant to the general manager, sitting in my office staring blankly at the computer every day. The most rewarding thing is that the young people who were finally dug out of the hotel went to one of the six accounting firms at that time to find a job. Don't confine yourself to one space. Since you are young, you can try different industries. If you feel that it is not suitable for you, you don't like it, or you are not satisfied with the treatment, you can wait patiently for the opportunity. However, there is another suggestion, that is, no matter what kind of job you accept, you should do it well every day, because many times, opportunities are won by your own performance, and you may not know it yet.
But to be honest, I think the competition among young people is much more severe now than at that time. Because in the late 1980s and early 1990s, even if someone can open the back door, society still needs a group of people who can really do things, so ordinary people can find opportunities through their own efforts and education. But now, it is not a question of opening the back door, but that many people have a higher starting point than most of their peers. Without a fair starting line, there will be no competition. If a society does not have the opportunity for the lower class to rise upward, social division will become more and more serious. Can the elite thus formed be considerate of most people?
