Is it useful for today’s China to learn English but have a job that has nothing to do with English?

I must vote for the usefulness of learning English.

1. Although the subject said that work has nothing to do with English, in the process of our insistence on learning English, we not only improve our English level, but also a process of continuous learning and progress, which is self-improvement. , is the growth of self-confidence. Our life is progress and progress.

2. As your English level continues to improve, you can also obtain some certificates. A certificate may not be necessary in the current work environment, but it is proof of competency. Just imagine, under the same conditions, A only has a CET-4 certificate, while B has a CET-4 certificate, a CET-6 certificate, a TOEIC certificate, and perhaps a translation certificate, an interpretation certificate, etc. Can we think that B loves to study more? What about stronger learning ability? All other things being equal, the added value created by an English certificate will definitely give you an advantage in promotion.

3. Precisely because the current job does not require English, excellent English proficiency can create more opportunities and better reflect personal value. If it happens to be a foreign-related project or there is a need to receive foreign customers, opportunities will come for those who are good at English. I have also encountered such opportunities in my previous work. In my working environment at that time, my English was relatively good, so when I met customers who came to the company to investigate the company's production background, I was the one to receive them. The customer had a very good impression of me, and of course it was due to my fluent English and smooth communication. Later, I also continued to deal with this customer, and his high performance for several months was all due to him!

4. From the question, it seems that the current job is stable, at least there is no intention to change jobs. However, none of us are guaranteed to stay in one job for the rest of our lives. Now English proficiency has become a rigid standard for recruitment by many companies, especially European and American companies and European and American joint ventures, so if the English proficiency is sufficient, then we have more choices. There used to be two colleagues, let's call them Little C and Little D. Since the company was in a downturn for a period of time, Little C and Little D both had the idea of ????hopping jobs. Their professional skills were similar, and Little D was slightly higher, but As for Little C, his English is relatively good, and because of his good English, he participated in professional training organized by his unit. He found a foreign-funded enterprise very easily at that time; as for Little D, because his English is not good enough, he can still find a suitable job. , but the range of choices is relatively not that wide. Generally, the feedback given by foreign-funded enterprises is that if your English is better, we very much welcome you to our company. These are two people with similar professional levels, but because their English proficiency is different, they form two completely different states.

5. Nowadays, with the rapid process of internationalization, English is increasingly integrated into our lives. Many primary school students now can speak fluent English. Just imagine, in a few years, primary school students will be better at English than you. In the future, you may hear someone talking about things in English at any time on the street. If you can’t understand even a slightly more complicated sentence, will you feel that you are Is he illiterate? Learning English is also about keeping up with the times.

The above is my opinion. I think learning English is very necessary, no matter from any perspective.
