大學畢業(yè)五花八門的職業(yè)選擇

常言道：“三百六十行行行出狀元”。如今社會競爭如此激烈，有些大學畢業(yè)生形容找工作就像“海底撈針”一樣。選擇常規(guī)的職業(yè)固然有保障，但有些年輕人已經(jīng)開始勇于打破常規(guī)，嘗試新奇的職業(yè)。來看看下面這些碉堡了的工作機會符不符合你的胃口吧?

Six months ahead of graduation day, college seniors are thinking about the future. Sure, there are always the standard career choices, but there are plenty of other options you may never hear of. We interviewed three young people to see what their “odd” jobs are like.

離大學畢業(yè)還有六個月，大四的學生們都在思考未來。的確，總有中規(guī)中矩的職業(yè)選擇，但是還有許多其他你可能從未聽說過的工作機會。為此，我們采訪了三位年輕人來了解一下他們從事的 “奇怪的”工作是什么樣的。

1. Fly counter

數(shù)蒼蠅的人

It was a hot summer day, and Yu Jun, 24, had been kneeling by the train tracks for more than 30 minutes. Sweat dripped down his face. He was getting strange looks from passersby. But none of that concerned him. Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen ... he murmured every now and then. His only concern was to count how many flies had just landed on the train track.

那是個炎熱的夏日。余軍，24歲，已經(jīng)在鐵軌旁跪了半個多小時了。汗水順著他的臉頰一滴滴淌下來。路人用異樣的眼光打量他，但這絲毫沒有造成他的困擾。13、14、15。。。他時不時低聲說道。此時他唯一關心的是有多少蒼蠅剛落在軌道上。

Yu, a chemistry graduate from Peking University, describes himself as a fly counter. His actual profession is to monitor a rail’s impact on the environment.

余軍畢業(yè)于北京大學化學專業(yè)。他管自己叫“數(shù)蒼蠅的人”。實際上他的職業(yè)是監(jiān)測鐵路對環(huán)境的影響。

"Constructing a railway always affects its surroundings. The noise of a train passing by is harmful to people’s health. Human excrement left by the train not only attracts insects and disturbs the ecological environment, but also poses threats to the soil and water,” Yu said. His job, therefore, is to observe and test the rail’s impacts. He and his colleague will then find ways to mitigate them.

“修建鐵路往往會影響到周圍的環(huán)境?；疖嚱?jīng)過的聲音對人的身體健康是有害的。而火車沿途排放的乘客排泄物不僅會吸引昆蟲，擾亂生態(tài)環(huán)境，而且還對土壤和水構成威脅，”余軍表示。因此，他的工作就是觀察和測試鐵軌對環(huán)境的影響。他和同事將會尋找減輕不良影響的方法。

2. Snapshot

快照女王

Taking a casual snapshot that still makes you look good can seem almost impossible. But Yang Xiaojing is trying to bridge that gap by becoming a photo editor.

隨手拍張快照還要拍得好看幾乎是不可能的。但是楊小菁通過成為圖片編輯填補了這項現(xiàn)實與理想的差距。

Yang, 23, is a business management graduate from Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics. Ever since she started using Photoshop, a photo editing software, she can’t live without it.

楊小菁，23歲，畢業(yè)于浙江財經(jīng)大學的企業(yè)管理專業(yè)。自從她開始使用圖片編輯轉件Photoshop后，她便再也不能離開它了。

"I’d never post a photo online without Photoshopping it. The compulsory need to look good is shared by other people too,” she said. So during her college years, Yang volunteered to work part-time at her campus’ photo studio. By editing more than 300 photos a day for three years, Yang can now beautify a snapshot within 10 minutes. That efficiency won her a full-time position at the studio after her graduation.

“我從來不會把沒修過的圖片發(fā)到網(wǎng)上。許多人也有這種追求好看的強迫癥,”她說道。所以大學期間，楊小菁自愿在校園攝影工作室做兼職。三年中每天修圖超過300張，她現(xiàn)在可以在10分鐘內(nèi)美化一張快照。這種高效為她贏得了畢業(yè)后在工作室全職工作的機會。

For beginners, it may take hours to edit a photo. But while speed helps, what’s more important is quality, according to Yang.

對于初學者來說，修圖可能要花上好幾個小時。雖然速度很重要，但更重要的是保證質量，楊小菁表示。

"Customers want to look good but not too artificial. Striking a balance between the two does not necessarily require a diploma in art or software. Practice is the key to success,” she said.

“客戶希望自己的照片看起來不錯但又不要太假。做到兩者平衡并不一定需要一個藝術或軟件方面的學歷。實踐是成功的關鍵，”她說道。

3. Sleep expert

試睡專家

As she checks in before entering her hotel room, Chen Cheng looks no different than any other tourist or business traveler. But instead of paying to sleep at a hotel, she gets paid. Chen is a freelance hotel test sleeper.

辦理酒店房間入住的時候，陳程看起來與其他旅客或出差的人沒有什么不同。然而，她不但不用支付費用，反而會獲得報酬。陳程是一個特約的酒店試睡員。

Chen, 25, took a year to travel around Europe after she graduated from Edinburgh University in the UK. During that trip, she got to experience different hotels and meet different people. She shared those experiences on Qyer.com, where she got her first job to write a review for a newly opened hotel in Chengdu.

陳程，25歲，從英國愛丁堡大學畢業(yè)之后，在歐洲進行了一年的旅行。旅途中，她體驗了不同的酒店并遇見了各式各樣的人。她把這些經(jīng)歷分享到了窮游網(wǎng)上，并因此獲得了第一份工作——給一家在成都新開的酒店寫入住評論。

"To put it simply, a hotel test sleeper is a role-play traveler. You imagine yourself as travelers of different types, ages and genders, and see how each hotel fits their particular needs,” Chen said.

“簡而言之，酒店試睡員扮演的是旅行者的角色。你把自己想象成不同類型、年齡、性別的旅客，然后考察每個酒店是否能滿足他們特定的需求，” 陳程說道。

"It sounds simple, but you have to be attentive to do it well. You also need to be a good writer, because after each trial, you need to produce a comprehensive report on the hotel’s facilities, location, prices, dining and cleanliness,” she added.

“這聽上去簡單，但你必須足夠細心才能把工作做好。你還得是個好寫手，因為每次試睡后，你得寫出一個包括酒店設施、位置、價格、餐飲和潔凈度的綜合報告，”她補充說道。
