Huang Kaixiang, a high school student from Henan Province, said that he also faced the same problem. He said: "Some of my classmates decided to apply for economics, others decided to study law, and we are all following suit."
However, a recent survey shows that those college graduates with hot majors find that they are the last people employers want to see in this highly competitive job market. The survey released last Friday was released by the Human Resources Department of Maikao Company with Beijing as the main research area. They studied the employment of last year's graduates. About 200,000 graduates from all over the country took part in the voting. 10 The most popular but unpopular majors are: computer science, law, English, international trade, China literature, business administration, electrical engineering, information management, accounting and mathematics. Last year, only 86% of law graduates found jobs, which was lower than the average employment rate of 9 1%.
In this regard, Wang Boqing, director of the human resources department of Maikao Company, said: "The professionals trained by universities must be market-oriented and cater to the needs of society."
Qian Jun, a fourth-year computer major student at Guizhou University, said that only five of the 53 students in his class found jobs last year, while most of the mineral majors who graduated in July next year had settled down to find jobs last year.
Qian Jun said: "When I entered school four years ago, computer science was the most popular major to find a job, but it has become the glory of the past. Therefore, most of my classmates decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination or take the civil service examination. "
The Ministry of Education announced the employment situation of 226 undergraduate majors nationwide last year. The majors with high employment rate last year mainly included traditional industries such as machinery manufacturing and emerging majors such as economy and finance.
Wei Qirong, a professor of materials engineering at China Geo University, said, "With the development of economy, the demand for professional knowledge is changing, and once popular disciplines may become obsolete in a few years." Professor Wei also said that in the past five or six years, the demand for energy and natural resources at home and abroad has surged, and previously unpopular majors such as geology, geochemistry and mineral resources development have once again become hot. "Last year, the employment rate of students majoring in mineral and geological engineering in our school was as high as 100%."
look forward to
Although it is difficult to predict the hot majors in four years, high school students are still trying their best to find information suitable for their majors. Some private examination centers in China cater to students' demand for career development consultation, and gradually enter people's sight in recent years. These tests include the evaluation of students' personality, career goals, abilities and comprehensive potential. Li Shunfu, a consultant of Beijing Golden Hat Potential Assessment Center, said: "These tests help job seekers find their career potential according to their own abilities." . He also said that American and Japanese students should take the same exam before choosing a university major.
