What are the employment prospects for French majors?

As for the fact that French majors are easy to find jobs and have high wages, people are accustomed to treating languages ??other than English as "minor languages". This makes the number of students who choose to study French much less than those who study English, and they are less likely to find jobs. Competition will naturally be reduced. In addition, French itself is not a "minor language". There are about 120 million people around the world who speak French. For historical reasons, French is commonly spoken on five continents and is also the common language of the United Nations. In particular, many African countries still regard French as their official language. In addition, French literature, movies, and fashion have a huge influence on world culture. French is widely used in officialdom, and there is a huge demand for French-speaking talents in the market.

French employment will become better and better in China. To sum up, in addition to having the same access to employment as other foreign languages, French has its own unique advantages.

1. You can find employment in government departments. In addition to Beijing's large official agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Xinhua News Agency, etc., you can also visit departments such as the Foreign Affairs Office, Investment Promotion Bureau, and Tourism Bureau.

2. You can go to the publishing department. Many publishing houses are increasingly communicating with the international community. In addition to importing copyrights, China is encouraging domestic publishing houses to export copyrights.

3. You can enter the tourism industry. This industry has gathered a large number of French-speaking talents. With the development of domestic economy and tourism, more and more Chinese people will travel abroad. In the future, you can also lead a group to a French-speaking country.

4. You can enter the foreign trade industry. Foreign trade and tourism are areas where French talents gather. In the foreign trade world, many French majors have become self-employed foreign trade traders or have opened their own foreign trade companies. If the economy of French-speaking Africa develops, French-speaking talents in the foreign trade world will be more useful.

5. You can work as a teacher in school. Mainly colleges and universities. It’s just that colleges and universities have very high academic requirements. It should be said that it is a bit wasteful to study French for 7 years, get a master's degree, and become a teacher in a university, if this person does not like it or is not suitable for learning. Maybe in the future, more people will learn French in middle schools to take the college entrance examination.

6. Can do translation for various enterprises. For example, there are now many construction companies taking on projects in Africa, which require a large number of French translators. As a freelancer, you can take classes, tour guides, translators and other French-related occupations. This requires certain personal connections and information sources, as well as a broad range of knowledge.

7. You can go to foreign-funded enterprises, mainly French-owned enterprises. There are more and more such enterprises. If you really can't get a job at home, then find a way to study in France. The cost of studying in France is relatively low, and French majors can easily find work opportunities in France by taking advantage of the language. Then decide whether to stay abroad or come back.
