Your major is literature, what can you do in the future?

1

Yes, my major is literature.

When I was first admitted to college, my classmate said to me: "Congratulations, you will be an artistic young man from now on!" With my reckless temperament, I thought he was scolding, so I replied: "Swearing." Who are you, you are a literary young man, your whole family is literary.”

I heard a saying before: “You can’t produce writers in literature majors.” At that time, I regarded this sentence as a joke and even studied literature. If you can't become a writer, can you become a writer by studying mathematics? But when I went to college, I believed it. What we learned every day was a series of Chinese and foreign literary history and boring literary theories. Writers need imagination and creativity, and these courses are the best courses to kill imagination.

There are many girls and few boys in the liberal arts college. It is typical that there are more meat and fewer wolves. The boys attend class, in fact, it is more to look at the girls. Because I have a girlfriend and am not interested in some courses, I choose to ignore some courses and then read books, watch movies, and do things I like.

During the four years of college, I insisted on getting up at around six o'clock. I read more than a thousand books and more than a thousand movies, and traveled to more than half of China... I taught, sold books, and worked in retail. , I also washed cars... Finally, I was admitted to a graduate degree in literature and art.

To this day, everyone calls me a "literary young man."

I often encounter this question: "What can I do after studying literature? Be a teacher, an editor, or take the civil service exam?"

"I don't I know, because I haven’t thought about it yet.” I answered very sincerely every time.

"You should study accounting, software, or science and engineering. You can't make money by studying literature, so it's useless!"

Every time the conversation reaches this point, I usually don't I spoke, but I had nothing to say and nothing to say. The other party is usually an uncle or aunt in their 50s. With a look of disdain, he starts talking about the money future of his children majoring in science and engineering, or bragging about the children of his relatives or neighbors. Finally, he put on a serious expression: "There is no use studying literature! My child, you have chosen the wrong major."

Similarly, I often encounter this question: "What's the use of studying? ? What's the point of traveling? Isn't watching movies a waste of time..."

I won't talk about cultivating one's sentiments and broadening one's horizons. I will seriously tell the other person: "It's really meaningless, I just like to do it." , so I did it.”

When meaning is equal to benefit, people always ask: “What’s the point of doing this?”

I still remember the British mountaineer George Mallory. Reporters always asked him: "Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?" He remained silent every time.

Still the same question: "Why climb Mount Everest?"

Finally he was tired of being asked: "Because the mountain is right there."

He He is a simple person, but also a lovely and respectable person. He was once a teacher and dean of Charterhouse, a famous British public school, but he loved mountaineering and resolutely gave up his comfort and chose mountaineering as a career.

The mountain is there and all he needs to do is climb it.

In Acheng's "The King of Chess", the protagonist Wang Yisheng finally realized a sentence: "People still need something to be alive."

This thing is not Money is not about meaning, it may be a career, or it may be just a hobby.

I feel happy when I do it, and I truly know that I am alive.

I am 25 years old and still in school. I often think about career, but I really don’t know what I can do in the future. My life is full of sunshine and joy, but also sadness and confusion.

Someone said to me a few years ago: "You haven't grown up yet."

Indeed, I am playful by nature, love to be alone, can't sit still, and often do some crazy things. things.

It is only in the past two years that I have gradually matured. I have experienced a lot, and I can slowly feel my maturity.

But I am still unruly, still love to play, restless, often act as I please, I can't stand some things, and I don't want to do some things.

Maybe my so-called maturity is still immature in the eyes of others, but I truly understand what I want and my responsibilities and obligations.

This is what I figured out myself, not the maturity that others told me.

I have experienced a lot of setbacks over the years, and I often assumed before that if I could turn back time, I would be better off than I am now.

But now I don’t assume it anymore, because I have figured it out: I am the best me now. Without the frustration, decadence, absurdity, and fun of the past... I would not be who I am now.

I am not excellent, so I regard myself as a snail. Others are flying in the sky and I am crawling on the ground.

But I will keep crawling.

At this point in the article, I have been studying literature for many years, but I still can’t explain what I can do in the future.

I can’t answer for you the meaning of studying literature and the meaning of reading and traveling. It's there, you have to experience it for yourself and you'll understand. Everyone has their own opinion.

The reason why I like it is because I like it.

This is really a confusing time. Many of my classmates are working and enjoying life in the circle of friends every day, but I am still insisting on doing things that others seem meaningless.

I insist on getting up before six o'clock every day. If I get used to it, I will wake up at that time. Exercise in the morning, or run, or walk, and sometimes climb mountains. I used to do it on and off, but from last year to now, I have persisted for a year. I have lost a lot of pounds, my body has become stronger, I don’t catch too many colds, and I have made many friends who love sports.

I still insist on reading every day, reading paper books, and in my spare time I also read e-books, literature, and other kinds of books. Over the years, I can no longer count how many books I have read, but the more I read, the more I find myself lacking in knowledge. I know perhaps more, but my knowledge is little.

I also started to learn to practice touch typing, learn various software, learn Office, learn PS, learn typesetting and design... I used to be a computer novice, in the future, I will slowly learn all kinds of knowledge .

I know how to write some calligraphy. Although my writing is not good and not profound enough, I still keep on writing. On the way of writing, I received a lot of reviews. I like the good reviews, but I take the bad reviews seriously. A few days ago, a relative said to me that there is no point in writing that kind of thing, and you should find something to do to make money. I know he does it for my own good, but I will keep writing.

I also often watch movies. If I meet a good one, I will go to the cinema to support it. I still insist on photography. Although my skills are not good enough, I bought a lot of books, found a lot of videos, kept studying, and kept shooting. I will continue to travel and arrange my money and time reasonably according to my ability.

I don’t know what the meaning of these is, but this is my life now, and I will try my best to do them well.

I will start school in September. I am still studying literature. I am not sure about my future career. I can only follow the steps and do my own thing well. I believe that by doing the things at hand in a down-to-earth manner, dreams will eventually become reality.
