3. Experienced people talk about foreign language and literature majors

Niu, a student of the English Department of a university:

I just graduated this year, majoring in English as you can imagine. At that time, all the majors on the college entrance examination application list were foreign languages. The main reason was that I was not good at science since I was a child. It became more and more difficult in high school and became a constant problem.

My English has been good since junior high school, and I even won a national first prize in my senior year of high school. Therefore, I am determined to study liberal arts in college. Of course, the best choice for learning a language is Beijing Foreign Studies University, but Beijing Foreign Studies University has always scored very high in our Jiangsu province, so I didn’t have the guts, so I filled out the application form Beijing Language and Culture University (the idea at the time was that the farther away from home the better, Shanghai and Nanjing were not considered) . When the score came out, it was more than 30 points higher than the score line of Beijing Language and Culture University in previous years. I was quite satisfied with it, and my family also thought that I would definitely go to Beijing Language and Culture University. Who would have known that Beijing Language Institute of Technology went crazy that year, and the score line was as high as Beijing Foreign Language School, and I was three points behind! It just so happened that we expanded our enrollment in the first year that year, paid the money, and came to this famous science and engineering university in Beijing. I felt really useless when I started college. I originally came to Beijing to get away from my parents' control, but when I came here I was really not used to it. I didn’t expect that a girl like me, who seems to be quite cheerful and forthright, is quite dependent on me. I still remember that when I was washing up in the water room during my freshman night, I looked through the window at the path under the dim street lights, and I just wanted to cry. Later, as I got to know my classmates, I was no longer so sad, but what was left was emptiness. The word on my lips at that time was lifeissoboring, haha. There is such a problem in English majors. You can just mess around without studying. They are all soft things anyway, unlike science majors where you will be finished if you don’t study for one day. In this way, I relied on some capital accumulated in high school and followed it for a few years. In fact, what I thought about most during my graduation was the future of English majors. Although I chose the most moderate and hassle-free path of postgraduate study due to lack of confidence and courage, many of my classmates racked their brains and struggled for many nights because of the final solution. In the end, more than half of the students chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, of course, this does not include those who are guaranteed to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The most fundamental reason is that it is really difficult for English majors in science schools to find jobs. This is especially obvious this year. Firstly, because there is an explosion of English talents, and everyone can speak a few words about cats and dogs. Secondly, because 1999 was the first year of large-scale enrollment expansion, there are too many monks and too little food! ! In fact, there is still a huge demand for English talents in the market. But the problem is that there are very few people who really learn it well, and most people are still superficial. In the end, there were not many people who truly relied on English to make a living, and most people turned to other things, such as foreign trade.
