Relationship Between Major and Future Job
It’s a striking fact that there isn’t necesary relationship between one’s major and specific job duties for majority of people. Many people condemn this on outdated education system an some even complain that textbooks are useless.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. First of all , it’s a common sense that there alwasys exists a gap between theory and practice. This gap needs to be bridged by continuous exporation of similarities and differences between these two factors and accordingly corresponding modification. Secondly, due to the rapid development of technology, the knowledge from textbooks becomes behind the times soon . And it will lead to the disassociation between what one acquired in college education and what he does at work.
From my point of view, when faced with the disassociation, one should adapt himself to working environment as soon as possible by adjusting his own information system. What’s more important, life-long learing is essential to one’s career success. Even after one reached the required levels from college education curriculum, pursuit of knowledge should never be ceased. Last but not the least, we should bear this firmly in mind that one’s ability is valued much more than one’s academic degree.
Employment Pressure Facing College Students About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory and enviable jobs after their graduation. But n ow, things are different. Today’s university students usually experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. They often complain that graduation means joblessness. What is the cause of this phenomenon?
Firstly, with the enrollment extension of universities, the supply of university graduates exceeds social demand. This results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Secondly, university students tend to spend most of their time at school in studying academic subjects and lack relevant job experience. Thirdly, some students don’t study hard during the college. After four years of university life, they haven’t gained the knowledge those fairly good jobs or positions require.
Facing the increasingly fierce competition, we university students should try our bests to change this situation. Above all, when in school, we should make the most of our time and put our heart into our studies. What’s more, we can take part-time jobs and attend social activities in our spare time to accumulate relevant practical experience. [3]Besides, when we apply for jobs after graduation, we should attach more importance to accumulating experience than to the starting salary.
