Press comments on the panel discussion

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.

Think more efficiently

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.

Efficient and idealistic?

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 discussants were:
