Majors, no future, and it is a paradox that a person studies four years, and spends his family’s money on a major, known in advance, that he has no job.
This is the major crisis in most countries of the world, at which no one stops. Everyone wants a university degree, and social consideration precedes everything. The important thing is for one to hold a university degree, even if it is just a painting on the wall, with no future, inside or outside Jordan. And we have dozens of saturated and even dead majors, which are known to be overflowing with tens of thousands of graduates.
Where is the logic in spending thousands of dollars, from the value of university fees and personal expenses, according to the university and the program chosen by the student, and it may reach, according to the parallel, large sums of money, but the result is not a secret, because the student who pre-registers in one of dozens of specializations, knows that he He will graduate, and not find a job, as if he has wasted his time and money, knowing the result in advance, and then begins blaming his luck for not having a job opportunity, or fleeing towards a master's degree to buy time, or an academic doctorate, and his problem will multiply for that moment?
Take, for example, the business administration major, as we have a new phenomenon where we have graduates who hold a business administration degree, and they sit without work, because they are unable to specialize for one reason or another, and because there are no jobs, and the phenomenon of unemployed graduates that we see in many countries has become a problem for us today. Despite this, thousands annually go to the specialization of business administration, without changing the map of interests, in light of a world that is also changing, in an accelerating way, what is important is the false social pride.
The phenomenon does not stop at this point, but extends to the humanitarian and economic disciplines. Everyone goes to study language, accounting, class education, and other disciplines, and all of them have no future, and if there are vacancies after graduation, work at very low wages, where the graduate is exploited. To work without a salary in exchange for experience, or to work for a wage that barely covers transportation, or communications in the best cases.
Still at the zero point
The biggest problem is that investing in a university degree with the intention of benefiting from a job outside the country does not seem to exist these days. Graduates with the same degree compete for a lower wage, while the majors that do not need a recent graduate are awarded to competencies with low wages.
Neither the competent authorities have dealt with this problem, nor do people change, as if everyone lives in another world, and this year the universities receive tens of thousands of students. These days, there are millions of unemployed people, not those who work, but they work in jobs that are not related to their specialization.
Without all this, the human bleeding, waste of time, and waste of resources will continue, without forgetting that the competitiveness of the university degree, and the competitiveness of the graduate itself, have declined to a large extent in the world, compared to the huge changes in the levels of education in other countries, which have made leaps in education, and its regional and international classifications. .
What we see is a form of suicide, without denying that a person has the right to learn, but is there not among us who sees that a person learns outwardly, but in fact, he is still at the zero point?
