Is the international trade graduate student useful?

This is a cliche. It's worthless Look at this. International trade is two disciplines under applied economics, and it is a first-class discipline, which is juxtaposed with national economics, industrial economics, regional economics, quantitative economics, national defense economics, finance and other majors. In terms of the popularity of graduate students, the situation of international trade specialty is stable; In terms of employment, it is also a wave of stagnation. There are not as many people who get high salaries just after graduation as those who graduate from finance. Because of the strong practicality, it is necessary to accumulate some work experience. In order to help students who are preparing for the 2009 master's degree understand the career prospects of the master of international trade, so as to choose their future major, the Education Economics Examination Center specially organized manpower to sort out relevant materials, and made a statistical analysis of the employment direction, salary status, industry and career development of the master of economics for readers and students' reference. This paper makes a series of observation and statistical analysis on the major of international trade. Generally speaking, the employment situation of graduate students majoring in international trade is not very good. Compared with finance, business administration and other majors, it ranks in the middle position. Theoretical study accounts for the vast majority of graduate students. If you want to engage in research, you'd better continue to study for a doctor after your master's degree. In addition, the popularity of the school, professional strength, and the popularity and influence of the tutor are also more important. Judging from the overall strength of applied economics, Renmin University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Jinan University, Nankai University, Lanzhou University, Xi Jiaotong University, Northeast Normal University, Xiamen University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Fudan University, Hunan University, university of international business and economics University, Zhejiang University and other well-known universities are in the forefront in terms of teaching resources and teachers, and correspondingly, they have more advantages in employment. Employment direction: teaching and research work in the field of international trade, management work of government departments, business work of trade institutions, etc. Specifically, you can engage in customs declaration, inspection, logistics (cargo loan) and other work. Judging from the employment situation over the years, some graduate students majoring in international trade have been employed by management consulting, investment banks and other institutions. 1, engaged in the import and export business of professional foreign trade companies; 2.

It is worth noting that there are more and more foreign-related enterprises and branches of multinational companies in China, and more and more people are employed in these companies, especially in some well-known institutions, such as the four internationally renowned accounting firms. As far as recruitment positions are concerned, most of them are customs declarers, sales salesmen, crew charterers, foreign affairs secretaries, foreign trade salesmen and sales executives, and most of them are international trade practices. * * The Education Economics Examination Counseling Center believes that graduate students majoring in international trade need to strengthen their own ability training if they want to get a better position. In the next three years, the employment situation of graduate students majoring in international trade will not change much compared with the current situation, but the prospects are gradually expanding. For some graduate students who are familiar with international trade rules and have a high level of foreign language, employment will be very good.

The volume of international trade is often millions of dollars. For enterprises, international business negotiators are indispensable figures in foreign trade enterprises, especially those with professional certificates and practical experience, which are often valuable in the headhunting market. General colleges and universities have set up many research directions in international trade, such as international trade theory and its application, China's foreign trade issues, the World Trade Organization, fair trade issues, international trade environment and so on.
