Therefore, when choosing a major, judging the development prospect of the industry is helpful to realize personal career development planning. Judging the development of the industry can be carried out from the following aspects:
1. Employment rate and employment opportunities:
Most of the current employment rate has been beautified, but the horizontal comparison can still be seen. For example, for language-related majors, the employment rate of English majors is relatively low, but the employment rate of various small languages is very good; Among all major categories, engineering has a good employment rate, especially computer-related majors.
Understand the growth trend of employment rate and employment opportunities of graduates of this major. You can check the relevant employment statistics or the employment situation of college alumni to find out whether it is easy for graduates of this major to find jobs. Specific data can be obtained from university websites and official government statistics.
2. Salary level and benefits:
Employment prospects are directly reflected in salary, so choosing a major must depend on salary level. Many professional organizations will do salary statistics, based on the starting salary of fresh graduates and the industry average salary after five or ten years. The starting salary of software engineering is usually the highest, but there will be an upper limit of 35 years for developers, which should be considered when choosing a major.
It is necessary to study whether the salary level and welfare benefits of this major are competitive. You can find out whether the salary and benefits of this major are attractive through industry reports, recruitment websites or communication with employees. Welfare treatment is a key factor in choosing an industry. After all, work is for living. Wage is a visible figure, but many invisible benefits are also an important part of work income, which is why civil servants are still a hot employment field with low wages-many benefits are invisible and are not mentioned in wages.
3. Technology and industry innovation:
Some industries are destined to have new technological breakthroughs, such as the computer industry; Some industries, such as education, can work for a lifetime after one year. Therefore, choosing those industries with more technology and innovation is more conducive to personal development and better professional prospects. Of course, this is also related to personal planning. Ah Fu has a student who wanted to be a teacher since he was a child. Because being a teacher can always be with children, he got the position of kindergarten teacher. Although his daily life is simple, he also enjoys it.
Investigate whether the technology and industry involved in this major are in the stage of innovation and development. Understand the scientific and technological progress in related fields, the launch of new products or services, investment and policy support. , you can judge whether the prospect of this major is full of potential. The potential mentioned here is actually more about whether it can always be needed by the market in the next few decades, and technological innovation is the key guarantee.
4. Policies and regulations:
Understand the policy support and regulatory restrictions of related industries. The influence of government policy orientation and industrial policy on the development of this major is also one of the judging factors. Because the whole teaching and training industry has disappeared, education-related employment is only a way of ordinary full-time study. This kind of policy content must be considered when choosing a major, and it must not be rushed to compete with the policy.
5. Long-term trends:
A typical field is real estate. After decades of glory, although real estate still has great influence, the prospect is not optimistic, and it is easy to encounter cold winter blindly entering related industries. Everyone who is engaged in the real estate industry that Ah Hu knows is preparing to change careers, and the building is about to collapse. We must first find a way out for ourselves.
Choosing a major should consider the long-term trend of the major, which is related to science and technology, society and environment, relative to the real estate industry. For example, in the fields of environmental protection, sustainable development and artificial intelligence, related majors may have better development opportunities in the future.
Career development prospects are closely related to personal development. Before Ah Hu's teaching and training industry, it was to watch his tall buildings rise and his buildings collapse. There are still many industries that have been subverted by the development of the times, so we must comprehensively judge the development prospects of the intentional major before entering the industry, otherwise we will learn a skill in vain and find that heroes are useless when we graduate.
