First, where to go for employment depends first on the quality of people, then on the region (generally speaking, employment in the south will be relatively better, and there will be more choices outside the civil servants and libraries), and then it may be the turn of the major. Of course, the major has no influence on the first two elements. Objectively speaking, the education system and academic training of library and information in China are relatively general, especially in recent years, in response to the wave of information management, the situation of "going to the library" is very serious, and professional librarians and archivists have not been well trained. Next, this situation may become more and more serious under the wave of data science. However, the internal professional reorganization has also begun, and the direction of ancient books protection has been set up in CUHK and Fudan University's Master of Library and Information Science, which is a good example.

Second, studying for a master's degree in library science and information science, if you are not prepared to work in libraries or related industries from the beginning, it is a kind of speculation in itself. The "speculation" we are talking about here is not a moral criticism, but a sadness and depression from the perspective of the industry. Those who study history should be computers, those who study computers should be physics and those who study physics should be librarians. None of them will change easily (yes, even the last one). In the master's stage, they are training specialized talents, not doing liberal arts education-besides, liberal arts are mainly high schools and undergraduate courses.

After these two problems are clarified. We can roughly refine the subject's question as "what is the cross-disciplinary employment situation with strong information knowledge", and why do you say "roughly"? Because the "information management" mentioned by the subject is not for training talents for civil servants and libraries, for example, whether it is biased towards information management depends on the direction, and the direction is different, which is very different. If the direction of information management does not pay attention to specific technologies such as front-end and data mining, there is not much advantage in employment at present.
