Chinese universitiesLaw degreeDifficulty finding employment for graduates
In recent years, the number of graduates from Chinese colleges and universities has been increasing year by year, making it difficult for college students to find jobs. Since 2002, the employment rate of law graduates in China has been lower than the national average for college graduates.
There was a saying in the Chinese legal education circle that only those who have come out of the “five academies and four departments” can be regarded as legal students in the true sense. “Five institutes” refer to China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Northwest University of Political Science and Law, East China University of Political Science and Law, and Zhongnan University of Economics and Law; Changed to law school.
Lu Tianming said that the society is sayingPolitical and legal systemIt is difficult for graduates to find jobs because of oversupply.
“In China, the civil service system is the most popular job search,Political and legal systemThe same is true. It belongs to the civil service system, so it is ‘protected against drought and flood’, and at the same time, it has some gray income, so many people sharpen their heads and want to drill in. There is an oversupply, so competition is very fierce, so the threshold for employment is getting higher and higher. Not only in the political and legal system, but also in many industries. “He says.
In addition, Lu Tianming also said that China is currently in a state of legal nihilism as a whole, which means that the law has become a profit-making tool for the powerful, “In this process, these people will gain a lot of benefits, that is, gray income. .”
“The legal system is really like this now, that is, whoever has money and power can win a lawsuit.” He said, “So many people are optimistic about this. These people put their interests first, and where the income is high, The benefits are great, and he will go wherever he goes.”
