外媒評(píng)選最“坑”的12個(gè)專業(yè)，英語(yǔ)專業(yè)排名第8，第1名竟然是...

網(wǎng)上有個(gè)段子：選專業(yè)、選對(duì)象、選外賣(mài)，是人生中最需要認(rèn)真做選擇的三件事。

尤其是選專業(yè)，影響之深遠(yuǎn)，常常另無(wú)數(shù)職場(chǎng)打工人午夜夢(mèng)回、捶胸頓足：假如當(dāng)年換個(gè)專業(yè)，現(xiàn)在的我會(huì)不會(huì)更快樂(lè)？

其實(shí)不止我們，老外其實(shí)也常常為專業(yè)這個(gè)問(wèn)題發(fā)愁。

In a recent survey of job seekers by the job-search platform ZipRecruiter, 44% of respondents with college degrees said they regretted choosing their major — with English, communications, sociology, and marketing management falling under the most regretted majors.

在求職平臺(tái)ZipRecruiter最近對(duì)求職者進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查中，44%的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生表示他們后悔選擇了自己的專業(yè)，其中英語(yǔ)、傳播學(xué)、社會(huì)學(xué)和市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷管理被列為最后悔的專業(yè)。

Within each field, the survey found, the highest-paid respondents were more likely to be happy about their college-major choice.

調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，在每個(gè)領(lǐng)域中，高收入者更可能對(duì)自己的大學(xué)專業(yè)選擇感到滿意。

While many college advisors will tell you that no major is truly useless — even ZipRecruiter found that of those who regretted their choice of major, 72% said they would choose it again — job experts caution against certain majors that limit your career options and salary potential.

盡管許多大學(xué)顧問(wèn)會(huì)告訴你，沒(méi)有什么專業(yè)完全沒(méi)用的——甚至ZipRecruiter也發(fā)現(xiàn)，在那些后悔自己專業(yè)選擇的人中，72%的人表示他們會(huì)再次選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)——不過(guò)，就業(yè)專家警告不要選擇某些專業(yè)，這些專業(yè)會(huì)限制你的職業(yè)選擇和工資潛力。

01

表演或戲劇藝術(shù)Acting or theater arts

誰(shuí)能想到外媒竟然會(huì)把表演專業(yè)放在第一位？！這要是擱國(guó)內(nèi)，能考上中戲北電上戲的表演專業(yè)，還愁以后賺不到錢(qián)嗎？日薪不是高達(dá)206萬(wàn)嗎？

不過(guò)，能大紅大紫的畢竟是少數(shù)人，也要考慮到那些學(xué)了表演但最終無(wú)法從事演藝工作的人。

Brianna Doe, a marketing manager at Inventables who's also a certified career coach and mentor for Arizona State University students and recent graduates, told Insider acting and theater degrees weren't likely to provide transferable skills.

布麗安娜·多伊是Inventables的市場(chǎng)經(jīng)理，也是亞利桑那州立大學(xué)學(xué)生和應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的認(rèn)證職業(yè)教練和導(dǎo)師，她告訴Insider雜志，表演和戲劇學(xué)位不可能提供可轉(zhuǎn)移技能。

She said the new graduates she'd mentored who studied these fields had struggled to find roles outside theater, especially in the current economic climate, and an internship at a local theater isn't likely to boost your résumé for a corporate role.

她說(shuō)，她指導(dǎo)過(guò)的戲劇專業(yè)應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生都很難找到戲劇以外的工作，特別是在目前的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境下，在當(dāng)?shù)貏≡旱膶?shí)習(xí)不可能提高你的履歷在企業(yè)中的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。

02

電影Film

和表演專業(yè)一樣，它的尷尬之處就是：科班畢業(yè)的學(xué)生不一定能吃演員這碗飯，倒是有很多非科班出身的人在該行業(yè)“大放異彩“。這個(gè)專業(yè)與上面一樣，都需要豐富的實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

Film is similar to acting in that you don't need a degree to succeed in the field,Kelly Donovan, who's been a career coach since 2008 and is the principal of Kelly Donovan & Associates, a firm that works with job seekers nationwide, told Insider.

凱利·多諾萬(wàn)告訴Insider，電影與表演類似，你不需要學(xué)位就能在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域取得成功，她從2008年開(kāi)始擔(dān)任職業(yè)教練，是為全國(guó)求職者提供服務(wù)的Kelly Donovan & Associates公司的負(fù)責(zé)人。

"Racking up massive student-loan debt for a film degree is risky," she said.Instead, she said to think about the degree after getting some in-the-field experience.

她說(shuō)：“為了一個(gè)電影學(xué)位而背負(fù)大量的學(xué)生貸款債務(wù)是有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的，”她表示，相反，可以在獲得一些實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)之后再考慮這個(gè)學(xué)位。

03

人類學(xué)Anthropology

人類學(xué)，可以說(shuō)是最神秘的專業(yè)之一了，可能很多人都不知道人類學(xué)究竟是學(xué)什么的？具體來(lái)說(shuō)，人類學(xué)是研究人及其文化的學(xué)科。人類在不同環(huán)境中創(chuàng)造出不同的社會(huì)、政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)制度和宗教體系，而人類學(xué)者則通過(guò)比較研究，找出這些文化制度之間的異同，從而探求人類存在的本質(zhì)。

If you want to get a job as an anthropologist, you'll likely need to go to graduate school. Otherwise, Donovan said, your bachelor's won't be useful.

如果你想找到一份人類學(xué)家的工作，你可能需要去讀研究生。否則，多諾萬(wàn)說(shuō)，你的學(xué)士學(xué)位就沒(méi)有用了。

04

文明研究Civilization studies

文明研究又是什么專業(yè)？感覺(jué)有點(diǎn)類似考古學(xué)，而考古學(xué)這個(gè)專業(yè)也是夠復(fù)雜。在中國(guó)，考古學(xué)是歷史學(xué)的分支，而在美國(guó)和加拿大則被視為人類學(xué)的分支之一，在歐洲被當(dāng)作獨(dú)立學(xué)科或歷史學(xué)的一部分。

Unless you're going into the field of archaeology, Doe said there's not much you could do with a major in civilization studies when trying to land a job because it's such a specific area of study — the degree focuses on how the world and civilization have evolved and is designed for those who want to work in archaeology.

多伊說(shuō)，除非你要進(jìn)入考古學(xué)領(lǐng)域，否則在找工作時(shí)，你的文明研究專業(yè)能做的不多，因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)非常具體的研究領(lǐng)域——該學(xué)位側(cè)重于世界和文明是如何演變的，是為那些想從事考古學(xué)工作的人設(shè)計(jì)的。

05

哲學(xué)Philosophy

Philosophy is another niche degree that isn't much use outside the field if you don't pair it with a graduate degree. According to Doe, it's not worth spending the money if you don't plan on working in that field. While some skills the degree teaches, such as critical thinking and analysis, are useful, it might be hard to market yourself outside academia.

哲學(xué)是另一個(gè)小眾的學(xué)位，如果你不讀到研究生，在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域之外沒(méi)有什么用處。根據(jù)多伊的說(shuō)法，如果你不打算在該領(lǐng)域工作，就不值得花這筆錢(qián)。雖然哲學(xué)所教授的一些技能，如批判性思維和分析，是很有用的，但在學(xué)術(shù)界以外可能很難找到工作。

06

心理學(xué)Psychology

Many roles in the field of psychology require graduate degrees, so if that's not in your plan, Donovan said, it's not the right move because the earning potential is much lower without a graduate degree.

多諾萬(wàn)說(shuō)，心理學(xué)領(lǐng)域的許多工作都需要研究生學(xué)位，所以如果這不在你的計(jì)劃之內(nèi)，就不推薦選擇心理學(xué)，因?yàn)橹挥斜究茖W(xué)位的話，收入要低很多。

"You could still use your knowledge of human behavior to build a strong career in a field like sales, but you could also just earn a business degree and take a few psychology classes as electives," she said.

她說(shuō)：“你仍然可以利用你的人類行為知識(shí)在銷售等領(lǐng)域大展宏圖，但你也可以只修個(gè)商學(xué)位學(xué)位，并選修一些心理學(xué)課程。”

07

傳播學(xué)Communications

Building a career with a communications degree alone can be challenging, Ronnie Green, a retired career counselor for Jewish Community Services, told Insider. She said communications was one of the most common degrees among people who sought career counseling from her.

猶太社區(qū)服務(wù)的退休職業(yè)顧問(wèn)羅尼·格林（Ronnie Green）告訴Insider記者，僅憑傳播學(xué)學(xué)位不太具有職業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。她說(shuō)，在向她尋求職業(yè)咨詢的人中，傳播學(xué)是最常見(jiàn)的學(xué)位之一。

08

英語(yǔ)English

Majoring in English can be a smart move if you plan to be a teacher or a writer, but it's hard to carve out a lifelong career from this major without going to graduate school, Green said.

格林說(shuō)，如果你打算成為一名教師或作家，主修英語(yǔ)可能是一個(gè)明智之舉，但如果不讀到研究生，很難從這個(gè)專業(yè)中開(kāi)辟出一個(gè)終身從事的職業(yè)。

An English degree can serve you well in careers related to writing and content creation, such as journalism, web-content writing, copywriting, technical writing, or grant writing. But students who aren't sure what they want to do after graduation should go with a business major because that comes with more-transferable skills, Doe said.

英語(yǔ)專業(yè)可以在與寫(xiě)作和內(nèi)容創(chuàng)作相關(guān)的職業(yè)中得到很好的應(yīng)用，如新聞、網(wǎng)絡(luò)內(nèi)容寫(xiě)作、文案寫(xiě)作、技術(shù)寫(xiě)作或資助寫(xiě)作。但是，不確定畢業(yè)后想做什么的學(xué)生應(yīng)該選擇商科專業(yè)，因?yàn)榭梢詫W(xué)到更多的可轉(zhuǎn)移技能，多伊說(shuō)。

09

歷史學(xué)History

Like an English degree, history is useful only if you want to get a job related to history. You might also need a graduate degree for some of those roles, such as professor, librarian, or lawyer.

與英語(yǔ)學(xué)位一樣，歷史學(xué)只有在你想從事與歷史有關(guān)的工作時(shí)才有用。有些工作還需要讀到研究生學(xué)歷，如教授、圖書(shū)管理員或律師。

10

室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)Interior design

Interior design is another specific degree that's useful pretty much only if you go into the field.

室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)是另一個(gè)特定的學(xué)位，幾乎只有在你從事室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)才有用。

"You're not going to get your return on investment," Doe said, adding that you're better off going with a graphic-design degree.

“你很難得到相應(yīng)的回報(bào)，”多伊說(shuō)，并補(bǔ)充說(shuō)最好選擇平面設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)位。

10

市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷Marketing

There are plenty of career options in marketing, but Doe said the field was rapidly changing." You can't even really read a book about marketing and expect it to be completely irrelevant by the time you're done," she said.

市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷有很多職業(yè)選擇，但多伊說(shuō)這個(gè)領(lǐng)域正在迅速變化。“你甚至不能真的讀一本關(guān)于市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷的書(shū)，并期望在讀完時(shí)它完全不相關(guān)，”她說(shuō)。
