2. Biotechnology category
The 21st century is the century of biology, and the development of biotechnology economy is an inevitable trend. It is understood that my country's biotechnology companies with an annual output value of hundreds of millions of yuan are booming, and biotechnology is regarded as a breakthrough for economic development by various places. However, the development of biotechnology requires new talents with independent working ability and good scientific quality, especially talents with innovative ability and practical ability. Biological research talents have been one of the focuses of international talent competition in recent years. At present, there is a serious shortage of biotechnology researchers and biotechnology product development talents in our country. In the future, our country will have a great demand for biotechnology talents. Experts predict that with the development of genetic technology, bioengineering and industrial upgrading, the gap for such high-tech professionals will become larger and larger.

The global modern pharmaceutical technology industry continues to show rapid growth, and the modern biotechnology industry has become a new focus of international competition in the pharmaceutical industry. Experts point out that in the face of increasingly direct and fierce competition in the international market, it is imperative for China to develop modern traditional Chinese medicine and biomedical technology industries. In particular, the modern traditional Chinese medicine industry is developing rapidly not only around the world, but also in China. It has now become a potential strategic industry with great development advantages and broad market prospects. The Ministry of Science and Technology listed "Innovative Drugs and Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine" as one of the 12 major national science and technology projects during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period.

4. Automobile category
As cars gradually become a necessity in our lives, the automotive major has also become a very popular major in society. Automotive professionals have become a hot commodity. Comprehensive talents in the automotive industry will become the focus of competition, such as automotive design talents who are proficient in foreign languages, marketing talents with automotive technology background, IT professionals with automotive sales background, and automotive credit professionals. , insurance and other financial talents will continue to be in demand. In addition, the demand for thermal energy and power engineering, industrial design and other related professional talents will also continue to rise.

After joining the WTO, as China further opens up its markets such as road freight, warehousing, shipping handling, and ship agency, China's related industries and enterprises will cooperate with Comprehensive cooperation with foreign logistics companies means that China's modern logistics will enter a new period of rapid growth and comprehensive development. Experts predict that in the next 10 years or even longer, China's logistics industry will approach or catch up with the logistics development level of developed countries. At present, there are more than 6 million intermediate and senior logistics professionals in my country, and logistics professionals have been listed as one of the 12 nationally in short supply talents. By 2010, my country's demand for logistics talents with college or above will be approximately 300,000-400,000. At present, the number of logistics majors trained in various universities is around 5,000 per year. What is most lacking in the industry is logistics planning consulting, logistics export-oriented internationalization, and logistics scientific research.

New materials have a very wide range of applications and are developing The prospects are very bright. Its R&D level and industrialization scale have become important indicators of a country's economic development, technological progress and national defense strength. Since the "10th Five-Year Plan", the direction of national industrial policy has been clearly tilted towards high-tech industries represented by the new materials industry, which will undoubtedly play an important role in promoting the development of the new materials industry. At the same time, with the development of my country's pillar industries and high-tech industries, the demand for new materials continues to expand. The rapid development of pillar industries such as machinery manufacturing, electronic information manufacturing, automobile industry, and construction industry has raised questions about the quality, performance, and quantity of raw materials. higher requirements. The high-tech industry will drive an increase in demand for new materials, especially electronic information materials, which will grow at a rate of 20 to 30% per year, and biomedical materials will grow at a rate of about 20%. In addition, with the development of social economy, the demand for new materials such as new energy materials, ecological environmental protection materials, aerospace materials, etc. will grow rapidly; the demand for composite materials will greatly increase, especially resin-based composite materials.

The environmental protection industry is known as the sunrise industry in the 21st century and has huge development potential. With the substantial increase in investment in environmental protection, China's environmental protection industry has developed rapidly and has become an important part of the national economy. The rapid development and significant benefits of the environmental protection industry are undoubtedly the results of the research and development of environmental protection technicians. However, my country's environmental protection industry is currently facing a serious shortage of talents, and existing environmental protection technical talents are difficult to adapt to the development of the national economy. If environmental protection technicians are calculated at 5 times the number of environmental protection practitioners, 500,000 people are needed. However, the existing environmental protection technicians in our country are far from the actual needs, and the task of cultivating environmental protection technicians is very arduous. At the same time, the development and utilization of renewable energy has become an important part of the world's sustainable energy development strategy. The government's policy support, social recognition, and China's abundant renewable resources make the development prospects of China's new energy industry very bright.

Because China’s accession to the WTO and successful bid for the Olympics will directly promote the development of foreign trade, society’s demand for management professionals will increase soon. In modern enterprises, the role of an excellent entrepreneur is more than that of 100 excellent engineers and 1,000 excellent workers. At present, more and more domestic enterprises are transforming their property rights and mechanisms, and corporate legal persons are implementing a bidding system and an annual salary system. In fact, the management of enterprises is handed over to professional entrepreneurs. According to China's statistical data in the past three years, the number of foreign agents has been increasing at a rate of more than 500 every year, and a professional class has now been formed in many big cities. Whether it is a foreign company or a state-owned enterprise, the value of senior managers is increasingly bullish. Therefore, although students majoring in business administration may not necessarily engage in management work when they graduate, in a few years, people with a management background will become a hot commodity, and MBAs will still be one of the objects of competition for companies.

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently less than 20,000 full-time lawyers qualified as lawyers in my country, with an average of only 2 lawyers per 6.5438 million population. The number of companies employing lawyers only accounts for a few thousandths of all companies, far behind in quantity and quality. Far from meeting the needs of society.

Therefore, automobile marketers will also be popular in the workplace. After experiencing the "hard work" of the 1990s, insurance salesmen will also become a popular profession in the 20th century. So the overall demand for marketing professionals will increase.
