On September 30.09.2009th, XNUMX, on the occasion of the German Romance Studies Day, University Bonn the following 90-minute panel discussion “Romance Studies and Job" instead of. I was there as the author of the book “The optimal career entry. Perspectives for humanities scholars”. Also there: the ex-Chancellor advisor and former ÖTV chairwoman Dr. Monika Wulf-Mathies, Andrea Frank from the Donors' Association for German Science and Juana Juan-Banner, Alumni Coordinator of the University of Bonn. More about the discussants in the video!
In the March 2010 edition, the Bulletin of the German Association of Romanists reported on p. 13 in the "Foreword to the Bonn Romanists Day 'Romanistik - Beruf und Berufung'" by Prof. Dr. Paul Geyer about the appearance at the Panel discussion with Dr. Monika Wulf-Mathies.
Young Professionals, who are fresh out of university often have to throw a few ideals overboard when they come to the work life want to gain a foothold.
For example, a participant in the XING group I moderated “Geisteswissenschaften in der Economy” recently stated:
Apparently I really have to work on thinking “more efficiently” - even if I think that a lot of idealism is lost.
My co-host Oliver Krone gave a very nice answer, which briefly summarizes some essential aspects, but which can also be applied to other career entrants. It shows why the loss of ideals does not necessarily end in frustration.
That is, I believe, one of the big prejudices that humanities scholars (edit: GeWis for short) have towards business. Thinking efficiently and still retaining idealism is a process that GeWis go through in their first year in the profession. Nobody says that GeWi doesn't have its own Term of efficiency. However, this not only considers the economic effort against the associated profit, but also often includes the social ones Costs one the one decision entails. And these are anticipated costs that they learn to estimate over time, but which nobody can necessarily avoid. In the long run, your idealism comes out much better with this way of thinking, even if it is hidden in “economic terms”. See it positively: Because it makes you less vulnerable, and the work can still be fun.
The discussion took place on September 30.09.2009th, 11 on the occasion of the German Romance Day - at XNUMX a.m. in the auditorium of the University of Bonn. Discuss it:
Of course, I am pleased about interested listeners. For all others, the event will be recorded on video and - I hope - then made available online. More at this point.

Dear Mrs. Janson, I hope you remember our conversation after the event. Thanks again for your competent encouragement. The fact that today's successful spiritual scientists were once as orientated as I am now, has built me up. They have in a way discouraged journalism, but I am interested in the industry (by the way, I have a master's degree in comparative studies, Spanish and French). At the moment I am looking for an entry-level and I assume that it will lead to an internship. Can you confirm that? And if so, which internships are most suitable for this? For example, I thought of a local radio. Furthermore, I am interested in the possibility of self-employment (free cooperation, translation, etc.). To what extent does this make sense as a career starter? Thank you very much for your effort! Kind regards, Anke
Dear Anke,
I had already expected you. Unfortunately, I have a little longer now
needed for the answer, but as it gets a bit more detailed ...
First of all a really good starting address: http://www.jungejournalisten.de

It is certainly a beautiful and interesting profession. Indeed

This results in a profound structural change to which
especially the Germans media do not really know how to

And also the profession of the individual (free) journalist is in the

It will be interesting to see what is still developing there.

Freelance journalists are therefore increasingly expected to
not only know a medium, but write videos

disappears more and more. I have colleagues who predict that
TV and radio are dead in 10-15 years. It is already said

Still, I believe there are possibilities. If you look as an author
