[1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “ Information Age” demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good______________.
[2] There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.
[3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
[4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.
