I would like to ask all the experts to help me with my analysis of employment issues for Korean majors.

Korean (61 colleges and universities in Korean-speaking countries - South Korea and North Korea)

Korean has been highly sought after by young people in China in the past two years, and learning Korean is regarded as a Fashionable, but most people only learn Korean for entertainment purposes, and it has nothing to do with the employment situation of Korean majors.

Korean companies investing in China include large companies like Samsung and LG, and more are small companies. The distribution of Korean companies in China is very regional. There are more of them in Shandong, Northeast, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and most of them are located in some second- and third-tier cities, such as Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Rizhao, and Dongguan, and their salary levels are relatively low. It is low, and there are people who can do it with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan. Small Korean companies set up factories in China, which means that the labor cost is low.

Among the nine minor languages, the value of the Korean major is relatively low. It is the major that pays the least attention to academic qualifications but to the actual level of Korean. Many companies only need a college degree or even a high school degree or above. This is because, firstly, Korean is relatively easy to master, secondly, many Koreans in China are naturally bilingual in Chinese and Korean, and thirdly, there are many Korean students and employees in China now, many of whom are good at Chinese, and some of them live in large communities. situation, with little dependence on Korean translation. To a certain extent, knowing Korean can be the icing on the cake for you, but if you regard it as the capital to settle down, it may not last long.

Finally, let’s talk about some of the data sources above: the number of colleges and universities in each language comes from the “China University Project Evaluation Group”. The actual number of colleges and universities in each language should be a few more than this, because some It often takes two or three years for colleges and universities to register majors with the Ministry of Education. The number of countries in each language refers to the country and region overview section of the "New Practical World Atlas" by China Map Publishing House and part of the information on the Fangsi Small Language website.

I originally thought of a sentence to end with, saying, "No matter which language you learn, as long as you learn it well, you will have no problem getting a job!" This sentence sounds very wise and far-sighted; but come back Thinking about it, when I was learning a foreign language, there was no one in the class who didn’t want to learn the language well, and there was no one who didn’t work hard, but there would still be a big difference in the final level. This is completely a natural law; so think about such insights. Let’s leave the summary to the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Employment is a heavy topic, so why not make fun of it and end it with a self-pleasure:

The Spanish person said it is good to find a job, the Portuguese person laughed; the Portuguese person said It has a wide range of uses, and the French one laughed; the French one said that he wanted to go to Europe, and the German one laughed; the German one said it was very beautiful, and the Italian one laughed; the Italian one said that the territory was large, and the Russian one laughed; and the Russian one said that he wanted to dig for oil, The Arabic ones laughed; the Arabic ones said they wanted to join a foreign company, and the Japanese ones laughed; the Japanese ones said it was fashionable, and the Korean ones laughed; the Korean ones said they wanted to go to big cities and make a lot of money, and those who learned small languages ??all laughed...

First, the friendly development of relations between China and South Korea has made Korean talents in demand.

China and South Korea are friendly neighbors facing each other across the sea and a narrow strip of water. Shandong, in particular, serves as the bridgehead for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between China and South Korea. It conducts multi-level, multi-field and multi-faceted cooperation in the economic and cultural fields. Form of fruitful cooperation is an inevitable trend. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea in 1992, economic and trade cooperation has developed rapidly in an all-round way, and the two countries have become each other's important economic and trade partners. At present, China is South Korea's largest trading partner, largest export market, largest overseas investment target country, and second largest source of imports. South Korea is China's fourth largest trading partner and third largest source of foreign investment.

China and South Korea are politically friendly, geographically close, culturally similar, and economically complementary, and have natural advantages in developing economic and trade cooperation. Although the establishment of diplomatic relations is not long ago, the potential for future development is very great. In the future, the two governments should further strengthen cooperation and dialogue to provide a better environment and conditions for enterprises of the two countries to carry out economic and trade cooperation, thereby promoting the further development of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. In view of the current development trends in the two countries, society needs a large number of practical talents who understand both Korean language and Korean culture, economy, etc.

Second, broad domestic and foreign employment prospects

Talents who have received higher education in Korea and understand both Korean and Chinese are in high demand in Korea, and they are all booked before they graduate. With the strong momentum of economic and trade development between China and South Korea, this type of professional talents will become more in demand.

Chinese students studying abroad not only have broad employment prospects in South Korea, but they are also sought-after scarce talents after returning home. Currently, there are more than 100,000 Korean-invested companies in China, most of which are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu and the three northeastern provinces. In the next few years, the scale of China-South Korea trade will exceed the US$100 billion mark. Therefore, more and more Korean institutions, enterprises and companies are in urgent need of a large number of high-quality Chinese employees who have studied in Korea and are proficient in Korean. Unlike the embarrassing situation where Chinese international students have changed from "returnees" to "foreigners" after graduating from other countries, international students in South Korea have no worries about not having a stage to display their talents after graduation.

Third, the scarcity of Korean language talents

For a long time, Korean has been only a minor language for the Chinese, and even many Korean teenagers only have basic daily conversation skills. Ability, unable to enter the professional field. At present, only 24 universities in China have successively established Korean language majors. There are only about 2,500 students studying Korean language majors in schools, which is far from meeting the huge demand for intermediate and advanced Korean language talents in China and South Korea. Therefore, South Korea currently has a spectacular "Han Wave" in which millions of people are studying Chinese assiduously, which interacts with the "Korean Wave" that is popular in China. In 2008, the 24th Beijing Olympics, and in 2010, the Shanghai World Expo, there was a huge demand for high-level Korean talents. In the examination for the recruitment of civil servants by state agencies, there is a sharp contrast with the life-and-death competition in other positions. Key positions in other national ministries and commissions such as diplomacy, customs, commodity inspection, national security, public security and foreign affairs, and immigration management basically require talents who are proficient in Korean. It’s equal registration. Judging from the current demand, talents who are proficient in Korean have better and faster development space than those who are proficient in English.
