Why is it difficult for liberal arts students to find jobs?

The employment difficulties of liberal arts majors are mainly reflected in several aspects:

The starting salary is low, the market demand is relatively small, and it is easy to switch to art-related industries, but it is more difficult to master.

1 Let's start with a low starting salary. In Beijing, the starting salary of copywriting, new media operation, editing journalists and other arts-related jobs. Generally, IT is 4~6K, and most people are around 5 K. This is lower than IT industry and financial industry. However, this figure is also the basic range of starting salary for college students in cities like Beijing. In other second-and third-tier cities, the salary level of liberal arts-related positions is very low. Except for specific positions such as teachers, the basic monthly salary is 2000 to 3000 yuan. Low wages make many liberal arts students reluctant to join such companies, which will show the phenomenon of difficult employment.

2 The market demand is relatively small. If you look at the major recruitment websites, you will find that most of the popular recruitment positions are concentrated in science and engineering such as IT. Because today's era is an era of technology-driven development, there is a great demand for jobs and many new jobs. In contrast, the related positions of liberal arts have changed little and are relatively fixed, and the demand has not increased greatly.

It is easy to change careers, but difficult to master them. Many related works of liberal arts are based on writing, but for liberal arts students, the entry requirements of writing are basically achievable, but these are not enough, but they also need enough news sensitivity, strange brain holes, profound insight into the industry and so on. These aspects cannot be done in a day or two.

What jobs are suitable for liberal arts students?

1. A member of an officially recognized professional accountant organization.

Most girls will choose accounting major, one is because their major is not difficult, and the other is the rigid demand of society. I would like to ask which companies don't need accounting talents, whether they choose to work in enterprises or choose to be full-time certified public accountants in accounting firms, their future and development should be very good.

2. Simultaneous interpretation

It also belongs to a small language, but in recent years, there is a special industry worthy of our attention, that is, simultaneous interpretation, which is not difficult to understand, that is, when someone is speaking in a foreign language, simultaneous interpreters here will keep translating. With the increasing communication between countries, the demand for simultaneous interpretation is increasing. People in this industry don't get paid, but they charge by the hour. In some normal occasions, the average hourly charge is 4000 to 8000 yuan. Is it violent to earn this salary?

3. Prosecutors and judges

The employment direction of law graduates is naturally lawyers, judges, prosecutors and civil servants. These jobs are not bad, they are all iron rice bowls in everyone's eyes, especially lawyers. The salary is beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the law major will basically deal with the public prosecution law in the future. The treatment and welfare of the public prosecution law are second to none in all departments in China. So law graduates are really promising.

4. Actuaries

It seems that all liberal arts students majoring in economics can choose, and economics is also a hot major in recent years, because with the economic development of the country, there is a great demand for students majoring in economics in society, and economics can be derived from many directions, which meets the needs of many employers at present, so work is naturally not worrying.

5. Journalism and communication major

Journalism and communication majors have developed vigorously in recent years, and their enrollment scores are generally higher than those of Chinese majors. The press and publishing industry is recognized as a sunrise industry, and the economic status and social status of editors and journalists are quite high. Entering the news publishing industry and advertising planning industry, journalism graduates have more advantages than Chinese majors. After all, they come from a well-educated class! When competing for the position of secretary, they can all be favored by employers.

Compared with the quietness and peace of Chinese majors, journalism majors have higher requirements for students' personality and vision. In order to conduct in-depth interviews and exchanges, journalists must be outgoing and sociable. The ability to communicate with others is an important part of editing ability. Only by communicating well can we get the right good manuscript.

Behind the aura of news publishing industry is the painstaking efforts of editors and journalists. In order to stand at the forefront of the times and be a banner of a good society, no one dares to enjoy leisure too much. "Charging" is an eternal job; In order to catch up with the publishing time and market, it is common to work overtime in newspapers, magazines or book editing departments. In order to grab news and grab a good topic, business trips are also common.

Editors' high income and high status have preconditions: being able to write and speak, being keen and knowledgeable, and being patient and strong. If you have the above conditions, then go!

6. Foreign Language Major

Foreign language major has always been an excellent choice for liberal arts students with language talent.

With the international cooperation and integration, language, as a diplomatic tool, has a very special position and significance. Not just the foreign affairs department. Foreign capital and joint ventures all need foreign language talents, and many industries are inextricably linked with international cooperation.

Among foreign languages, English, Japanese, French and other majors are recommended. These languages are closely related to their own development or close cooperation with China.

English is a big language, which is in great demand all over the country. And Japanese has a market in the north. French may not have flourished in the past few years, but with the good relations between China and France, it has shown broad prospects for development. In addition, minor language majors mainly refer to Southeast Asian languages, such as Vietnamese, Lao, Thai and Burmese. The China-ASEAN Expo is permanently located in Nanning, Guangxi, indicating that the trade relations between China and the ten ASEAN countries have been stable and will develop rapidly. These language majors are relatively large in the southern market, but there are fewer schools, which has formed a "hot sale" situation in the country.

In the choice of schools, as long as the institutions have a good reputation, it is good to choose English; It is best to choose foreign language colleges for Japanese and French, which are highly targeted and easy to find employment; There are few small language schools, and there is not much room for choice, but in view of the current hot situation, the reputation of the school can be ignored.

7. Literary editor

Editing is a work category and a professional identity, which refers to the compilation of works. People engaged in this work are called "editing" or "modifying" in Chinese. The editor-in-chief or editor-in-chief is the main person in charge of editing work.
