答案 JOB PROBLEMS FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES Each year thousands upon thousands of graduates flood into the job market, waving their college diplomas and certificates, expecting better jobs in their specialized fields, only to be frustrated and disappointed. According to the charts, only 35 per cent of graduates in 2006 could find jobs related to their majors, compared with 89 per cent in 1981 when China had its first college graduates after the Cultural Revolution. Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get a satisfactory and rewarding job? One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to gear their curricula to the development of industries. Degree courses offered in many colleges and universities are so outdated and irrelevant and impractical that employers as well as students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. No employers want to know about their mind-broadening and horizon-widening qualities, and few arc willing to spend time and budget training raw recruits. Secondly, there is an oversupply of graduates with a certain specialty, and this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of lawyers, executive secretaries, sales engineers and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out more graduates of these specialties to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that many of them cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and have to take other jobs which even do not require a college degree. On the other hand, there is tremendous need for teachers, research workers and public officials. But the disparity in pay between intellectual work and business management has frustrated the hope and ambition of graduates who major in education, administration and liberal arts. College graduates are, so to speak, valuable resources in our country and no one has the right to waste the wealth of talent. The problems they encounter in job hunting deserve more attention from the colleges and the government. The colleges should get students out of the ivory tower and gear their courses to the real needs of industry and business; while the government should provide college graduates with more vocational opportunities, better’ working conditions and decent salaries so that more and more graduates would like to devote their life to academic studies and scientific research.
