Out of the poverty-stricken areas in Hunan, the left-behind girl Zhong passed the college entrance examination. She reached the admission score of Peking University with 676 points in liberal arts and applied for archaeology. So the controversy followed. Many people think that she should choose a more profitable major in order to lead her family to become rich. After all, she is a student who has been staying at home since she was one year old. Judging from her personal background, it is a fact that material life is not rich. To get such a high score, she really should choose a promising major for herself and give herself and her family a comfortable life in the future. After all, this is a great influence factor for a happy life and a bright future.
But why do you think archaeology has no future? In the eyes of the public, archaeology, as an unpopular major, has no market for employment and is not a gold-sucking major. But this female student resolutely chose archaeology because of deliberation, life planning and interest. What a rare motivation this is! As long as enough love is a career, the high-level research of archaeology is still hot. The country needs archaeology, which is the demand of human progress and the necessity of social philosophy. Although these seem to have no direct economic value, scholars who become masters of archaeology are the pillars of China's history, literature and philosophy, and they promote social and economic development.
There is no such thing as an unpopular major. What is lacking is people who are thoughtful, talented and enthusiastic in this field. This is something worth practicing for a lifetime, and it is also something worth achieving in the future! Moreover, for Zhong, archaeology at Peking University has been blessed and encouraged by many industries. Growing up in such an environment, brilliant achievements in the future are just around the corner! As long as you are talented, how can it be difficult to be materially rich?
