Because this kind of major needs family connections for both employment and promotion after graduation.
To put it bluntly, parents are either in politics or business, both in politics and business.
Otherwise, either you can't find a financial job, even if you find it by personal efforts, it will be the end of hard work.
Children with average economic conditions are advised to study engineering, especially information technology-related interdisciplinary subjects.
All walks of life are embracing the Internet, so if you know a major, plus the blessing of information technology, you will definitely be welcomed by employers.
Family conditions are not good, and it is not feasible to quickly turn the situation around by applying for economics or finance. Even if you are admitted to this major, you should not have this idea, because then you will not realize your wish, but the gap will be even greater. Now the distribution of supply exceeds demand, not to say that you can do whatever you learn. Besides, it's hard for people like you who have no family background to get into the upper class and find a good job.
I suggest you get into a normal university and get over the current difficulties first. As for the future situation, it is changeable and the world is very big. As long as you have the ability, you will make great achievements one day!
I think it's better to study natural science. Artificial intelligence, biomedicine and so on are all better than finance. The starting salary of domestic fresh graduates of artificial intelligence is higher than that of many financial practitioners who have worked for many years. First, the profits of the financial industry mainly come from licenses and from the protection of the state. China's financial industry accounts for more than the United States' GDP, and its profits are excessively tilted towards the financial industry. Although finance involves national security and will not be truly liberalized, it is the general trend for finance to serve the real economy and make profits to the real economy. In the future, the whole industry will be worse than before. Second, the high salary in the financial industry is very small. As an industry that allocates resources, it is indeed possible for you to achieve rapid development with resources. As we all know, investment banks recruit red children, and many regulators go to enterprises later because they can obtain resources. Thirdly, innovation drive is the core driving force of China's economic development in the future. Looking at American enterprises, the top companies are all high-tech enterprises, and so will China in the future. Technology is an industry that really relies on personal ability and allows you to counterattack quickly. Look at the fast-growing enterprises in ByteDance, such as Meituan and Pinduoduo. Their employees have won many awards.
