又到了填报高考志愿的时间，关于"选专业"和"文科生"的讨论愈发多了起来。 我回想起自己选志愿的时候，对文科生能报的专业几乎没有想象力，只是在每个理想学校下方坚定地勾选新闻系、汉语言文学系和英文系。其他大部分专 业，好像都被装进了一个叫做"文科冷门专业"的箩筐，和"不好就业"画上了约等号。 接触的人越来越多后我才发现，许多我曾经望而生畏的冷门专业，其实特别有意思。于是我们去联系了几位就读"冷门专业"的同学，问了问他们的就读体 验和就业选择。 这次采访的初衷，是想打开更多对"文科专业"的想象力，试图回应一下我们的选择恐惧和就业焦虑。 但在和他们聊过天后，我把对"就业难度"的执念抛之脑后，重新感受到"学文科"带给我们的滋养：有时是和喜欢的东西在一起，有时是对"人生大问题"的 反复叩问，有时只是一份郑重、一种轻盈、一片宁静，而我们珍视的东西，也正是这些。 文物保护与修复 @游游 我的专业是文物保护与修复，原来的名称叫艺术鉴藏。 我受《我在故宫修文物》《国家宝藏》这些纪录片的影响，对相关内容非常感兴趣。选专业的时候，我想象自己未来会沉浸在人文书画的氛围里，每天喝 喝茶、写写诗。 进学校后发现，还真差不多，而且有更多意想 ...
