ABSTRACT: The world economy and society have devastated by the COVID-19, and the
employment situation has become more urgent than ever in the aftermath of the
epidemic. Effectively assisting college graduates in developing a realistic
perspective on profession choice and overcoming the negative effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic is of utmost practical importance in this regard. In certain
ways, the notion of
career choice as it is embodied in the thesis is Marx’s own epistemological
expression of the social reality. This is evident in Karl Marx’s “Reflectiones
de un juvene sur le selection de un profession”, which profoundly reflects
Marx’s wisdom and consideration about the issue of choice of occupation. This thesis employs a
Marxist epistemological framework to sort out and explain the ideological
underpinnings of Marx’s perspective on job choice and explore the philosophical enlightenment for the
career choice of college students in the post-epidemic era.
