This paper discusses how the salary expectations of college students affect their career decisions, revealing the significance of these expectations in the students' career decision-making process. Through a comprehensive analysis, targeted strategic recommendations are proposed in three areas: higher education policy, personal psychological development, and the social employment environment. These recommendations aim to guide college students in establishing more scientific and reasonable salary expectations, thereby assisting them in making wiser and more appropriate career decisions that are aligned with their long-term development in a complex and dynamic job market. Ultimately, by optimizing college students' salary expectations, this paper hopes to promote a virtuous cycle and the healthy development of the job market for college graduates, thus providing a talent guarantee for the steady progress of the social economy.
