The reporter's investigation found that the employment prospects of different majors are very different. Some people are crowded and some are empty. With the change of market supply and demand, the professional prospects of fresh graduates will face a "hot and cold reshuffle".
This side: There are many choices in the market.
This year, the traditional hot economics major is still in the limelight.
Wang Ming is a graduate student in labor economics at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (Q Bar). 53 people in the class have obtained employment intentions years ago, and the employers are concentrated in banks, foreign companies and other units. According to him, economics, finance and accounting are the best jobs, and everyone can get at least two intentions. "My work direction is very clear, and there are not many online resumes. It should not exceed 15, but I can basically get a written test opportunity. " Wang Ming said that because there are many opportunities to choose, the salary requirements are also relatively high. "The monthly salary is at least 3,000 yuan, and we can usually get 5,000 yuan."
In addition, some once "unknown" unpopular majors have also become "hot items" in the job market in recent years and are sought after by employers. Huangshan is a 2004 tobacco major in the Agricultural College of Guizhou University. Although he still has half a year to graduate, he already has three employment intentions. "Only three universities, including Guizhou University, offer this major, so every year, relevant units come directly to the college to invite important people." There are 38 people in Huangshan class, all of whom have employment intentions. "I was later transferred to this major. I didn't expect a job to be easier to find. Now we are picking a unit, and everyone is not in a hurry to sign a contract. "
The reporter learned from Guizhou University that graduates majoring in mining and materials are also very popular. Wang Hua, deputy director of the Graduate Employment Guidance Center of Guizhou University, said: "At present, the employment rate of graduates majoring in mining and materials has reached 100%. Many coal mines and steel mills have important people who come directly to the school, and often dozens of them sign up. "
Over there: It's hard to find a job in cold weather.
Some disciplines are much more deserted when they are employed. Fan Lei is a graduate student majoring in drama and traditional Chinese opera in Wuhan University. So far, none of the students in the class 19 have any intention of employment. More than half of the people choose to take the civil service exam, and four students choose to study PhD. Except for two students who are internship in the media, they are basically running job fairs. Fan Lei said that he is basically a "sea investor" on the Internet. "I voted for dozens of resumes and didn't even have a chance to write a written test."
Compared with the employment explosion of economic majors, graduates of popular majors such as law, journalism and computer, which are also highly sought after when enrolling students, have no way to find jobs. There are 327 undergraduate graduates from the Law School of Guizhou University this year, and there is no employment intention so far. Gao Di is a student majoring in social work in law school in 2004. More than half of the 48 students in the class choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination (Q bar) and take the civil service examination. She said helplessly: "According to our statement, the death penalty is aimed at law graduates, and the death penalty is suspended for graduate students." When she first entered school, law was a popular major, and the admission score was the highest in the school. Who knew that it was popular when I first entered school, but now it has become an unpopular job. The employment situation of computer major is also not optimistic. Qian Jun is a student majoring in electronic information science and technology in Computer College of Guizhou University. When he first chose this major, he decided that this major had a good employment prospect. When I graduated, I found that this major was a thing of the past and it was difficult to find a job. At present, only five of the 53 people in the class have signed up. Sometimes when a company comes to recruit, basically the whole class goes out, and the result is often no news.
In addition, some newly opened majors are also left out in the job market because of unclear target positioning. Gong Enze is a graduate student majoring in media management in Wuhan University in 2006 and the first batch of graduates. "It sounds famous, but when looking for a job, I hit a wall everywhere." Xiao Gong talked about the embarrassing situation when applying for a job. "Editorial positions in investment media often fail the written test. After all, business is better than news; For investment companies, there are no media management positions. " The human resources director of a newspaper group directly said to him: "Your subject is too macro, and we have no corresponding position."
Think about it carefully: the professional setting can no longer be "just asking about cultivation and not asking about harvest"
The reporter's investigation found that the mismatch between professional curriculum and market demand and the blind expansion of some majors are the main reasons for the dislocation of employment supply and demand. Take the computer major as an example. On the one hand, it is difficult to find a job in this major, and the unofficial employment rate of college students including computer software related majors is only 60%. On the other hand, there is still a huge talent gap in China's computer industry, which exceeded1000000 in 2007. The person in charge of an IT company said: "What some college students have learned is basically useless in the company, and the company still needs to spend a lot of money on retraining." "There are few practical courses, poor hands-on ability" and "the discipline setting is out of line with the market demand", which are the complaints and comments of some employers on computer graduates.
At the same time, the mismatch between employment assessment and student employment mechanism also slows down the employment pace of graduates. "Law students must pass the judicial examination if they want to engage in the legal profession, but the passing rate of the judicial examination is very low." Jiang, a counselor at the Law School of Guizhou University, said, "Moreover, the judicial examination is generally arranged in April and May, and students will not get their diplomas until July, so they lost the opportunity to take the examination and can only take it again next year."
Blind enrollment expansion of some majors is also a major factor causing employment difficulties. It is understood that the professional disciplines of Guizhou University are linked to the employment situation. Once the employment rate is lower than 70%, the school will adjust the enrollment scale. "In 2004, the enrollment of law majors reached more than 600, and then it decreased year by year. Only 100 people were recruited this year. " Wang Hua said that after adjusting the enrollment scale, the employment rate rose from less than 70% to more than 90%. However, from a national perspective, some popular majors have not "cooled down" because of market saturation.
Mao Gangqiang, a teacher at Guizhou University of Finance and Economics, pointed out that due to the high tuition fees of popular majors, some colleges and universities blindly expand their enrollment for their own economic interests, which not only wastes educational resources, but also misleads employment demand. "College enrollment can't only focus on its own interests, and it can't ignore the public interests."
Some experts said that at present, the state pays too much attention to hardware facilities such as teachers and discipline construction, and pays little attention to the employment situation of graduates. Career guidance is an indispensable link in the modern education system. As a production link, colleges and universities can't just ask about planting without asking about harvest. Ask only the output, not the demand. "
