Abstract

Currently in China, more and more college students are not anticipated to choose jobs related to their majors as their future careers after graduation, while they choose jobs with good salaries and welfare. Nowadays, most people's jobs don't match their majors well. This research evaluates the relationship between the matching of the majors and the wages of employees: the potential causation relationships between the factors, the predominant factor that will have greater influence, and the result in a high average salary of high and low matching employees in various occupations. The research uses literature review with supported statistical data on salaries at different levels of matching from data bases and other peer-reviewed papers. The final results of the study miraculously indicate that the average salary of low matching people is often higher than that of high matching employees of different occupations, as some jobs do not strictly require professionalism. Particularly in these occupations, low matching employees have stronger internal drive, which enables them to improve rapidly. In addition, the continuous pursuit of high salary and welfare allows these people to constantly find jobs that better meet their goals, causing their salary to increase as they change their jobs.
