Because modern education is more about learning a knowledge for most people, so as to make a better living. Just like students who want to be doctors, they will choose schools with better employment and higher professionalism, which will be more helpful to their future. Then colleges with higher employment rate are very attractive to freshmen, because they can ensure that they will not lose their jobs after graduation to a greater extent.
Just like when students are in high school, they will choose more schools with higher probability of going to college to ensure that they can go to college. The employment rate is a very important indicator for freshmen to apply for this school, and it is also the first impression of outsiders on this school. Many parents will refer to the employment rate of this school in previous years when they fill in the university for their children, and will learn more about the employment rate of each major.
But the employment rate is not a complete index, because the employment rate index is only a reference. As for the future wind direction, in fact, the employment rate is not completely representative. Just like the girls who applied for the history department of Peking University this year, many people are very pessimistic about the employment rate of the history department, and even sneer at it. However, when applying for this major, girls pay more attention to their hobbies and idolatry, hoping to become a historian as powerful as idols. Therefore, the employment rate has a great influence on most people, but it has no great influence on a small number of students who choose their majors according to their preferences.
