地球資源環境学科卒業後の就職のあり方を考える : 地球資源環境学科学生・院生就職活動支援講演会より

その他

This essay is based on a presentation given to students of the Department of Geoscience of Shimane University, in October 20, 2006, as part of a career development seminar. In our presentation we spoke about our respective experiences, responsibilities and pride in working as a geologist and an environmental chemist for the last few years.
Recently, many young people who are fresh from university or graduate school quit their first employment without careful consideration. In their first experiences working for a company after graduation, they may be bewildered by the gap between their ideal and the reality of their job. A major cause of their difficulty is that they often do not fully understand the purpose and duties of their companies, or the industries in which their companies operate. In the case of students graduating in Geoscience, a lack of fascination with the roles of geologists and engineers and a misunderstanding of which business fields are directly linked to their majors may cause them to be at a loss when considering which career to pursue.
We suggest that students should find work in their main field of interest which they　can pursue with professional pride.
