In the vast ocean of academics, every field shines with the light of knowledge, attracting countless students to set sail. However, in this vast world, there are also some corners that are nicknamed "sinkhole majors", which are known for their difficulty in finding employment and bleak prospects, which discourage many dreamers, or accidentally step into it, only to suddenly realize, but they are already in the fog.
The beginning of the story: the departure of dreams
Li Ming, a young man from a small town, has had an indissoluble bond with words since he was a child. Whenever night falls, he always loves to hold a book and immerse himself in the long river of history and philosophical speculation. In high school, he aspired to apply for a philosophy major at a top university with excellent grades and a strong interest. In the eyes of family and friends, this is a "high" choice, as if it can lead directly to the palace of academics.
Entering the palace: the collision of ideals and reality
University life unfolded like a picture scroll, and Li Ming was immersed in the ocean of philosophy and enjoyed the fun of collision of ideas. However, as time went on, he gradually felt the pressure from reality. Whenever he reunites with his classmates and hears them talk about employment prospects and salary, Li Ming is always silent. The employment rate of philosophy majors is like a cold reality, lying between him and his dreams.
According to statistics, philosophy majors have indeed faced considerable challenges in the job market in recent years. According to data released by an authoritative organization, the employment rate of philosophy graduates is much lower than average, and most of them are engaged in jobs that are not directly related to their major. These data were like a hammer, hitting Li Ming's heart, and he couldn't help but start questioning his choice.
Quest in the Mist: Find the exit of the light
Faced with the predicament, Li Ming did not choose to escape. He began to take the initiative and used his spare time to participate in various internships and social practices, hoping to find his own direction in these experiences. However, the reality is always more brutal than imagined. Most of the resumes he submitted were lost, and the occasional interview opportunities he got often ended up because of the wrong major.
By chance, Li Ming attended a lecture on career planning. At the lecture, the words of a senior career planner made him wake up from a dream: "Professionalism is not the only factor that determines the future, personal interests, abilities, efforts and opportunities of the times are equally important." This sentence was like a beam of light, piercing the fog in Li Ming's heart and making him see new hope.
Awakening and Transformation: Growing in the midst of challenges
Inspired, Li Ming began to re-examine his strengths and interests. He discovered that while he had a deep affection for philosophy, he also had a talent for writing and expression. Therefore, he decided to combine this talent with market demand, and began to try to write popular science articles about history and philosophy, and submitted them to major media platforms.
At first, his article did not attract much attention, but he did not give up. He continued to learn and improve, and gradually formed his own style and characteristics. Finally, an in-depth article on philosophy and life reflections caused heated discussions on the Internet, winning him a large number of fans and attention. This not only allowed him to find a stage to show himself, but also allowed him to see the unique value of philosophy in modern society.
Reflections and Enlightenment: Life Beyond the Profession
Li Ming's story is a microcosm of the mental journey of many "Tiankeng major" students. It tells us that the choice of major, while important, is not the only factor that determines fate. In this era of rapid change, we need to have the courage to face challenges, the wisdom to discover opportunities, and the perseverance to persevere.
At the same time, we should also realize that each profession has its own unique charm and value. Although it is difficult to find employment in humanities and social sciences, they play an irreplaceable role in cultivating people's thinking ability and humanistic quality. Although the competition in education is fierce, teachers, as engineers of the human soul, have irreplaceable social significance and value. Although news and media majors are facing the impact of the Internet, the rise of new media has also provided them with new development opportunities.
Conclusion: The fog has dissipated, and the future can be expected
Li Ming's story is a powerful refutation of the label of "Tiankeng professional". It tells us that as long as we have dreams, courage, wisdom, and perseverance, nothing can stop us from moving forward. In the days to come, no matter where we are or what kind of profession we are engaged in, as long as we can maintain our thirst for knowledge, love for life, and pursuit of dreams, we will be able to bloom our own brilliance in the journey of life.
The fog of "sinkhole professionalism" will eventually dissipate, and our lives will become more colorful. Let us move forward hand in hand, find opportunities in challenges, sharpen ourselves in difficulties, and meet a better future together.
