Going abroad to study and choose a school and choose a major is the top priority, and every year many students regret it because they do not understand the actual situation of the major...
The Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily once conducted a survey of 2,000 people through the questionnaire network, and the results showed that 79.0% of the respondents wanted to change majors, of which 16.2% of the respondents successfully changed majors, and 32.4% of the respondents tried unsuccessfully.
Abroad, there is also a salary survey website Emoulment published a survey result: selected by 1800 fresh graduates, the most useful and least worthy of study in the university.
In the above figure, the green part feels that the profession is completely useful; the red part indicates that reading is an absolute waste of time, and the intestines of the proper regret are green.
As can be seen from the figure, the highest professional satisfaction is the chemistry and natural sciences major, 87% of the graduates of the major said that this degree is very worthy of learning; followed by computer science, mathematics and statistics, also received more than 80% affirmation; and then the business major, received more than 70% affirmation.
In contrast, psychology is at the bottom, with 67% of graduates saying that their major is not worth studying, but psychology is obviously a popular major when applying. Other humanities and arts majors are also considered unworthy by nearly 50 percent of graduates.
In the past two years, the annual salary of graduates of some majors has increased by less than 1%, and more than 20% of students have been in jobs that do not require a degree within 10 years of graduation.
So the following circle has specially compiled a professional that most people may regret for everyone!
"Let international students regret the choice of majors"
Modern language
Regret percentage: 24%
The main reason why the Morden Language is on the list is that technology has gradually replaced labor, and the demand for jobs has dropped sharply.
Why?
In fact, if you look at the curriculum of modern language undergraduates in many universities, it can be seen that modern language is mainly based on learning foreign languages, with additional knowledge related to linguistics.
Students regret studying this major because universities basically spend time learning multiple foreign languages, and German, French and other niche languages are difficult to learn, but the scope of use is small.
In terms of employment, students in this major are very disparate in the industry. Some are engaged in management, art, writing, editing, and other aspects, as well as education, insurance, sales, finance and other work.
But the embarrassing thing is that the graduation salary of this type of major is not very high.
Therefore, many students will think that they have spent a lot of time studying, but the rate of return is not large, and they may be more eager to learn a major that can have "one skill".
art
Regret percentage: 35%
Underemployment rate: 79.5%
Early career salary: $24,000
Mid-career salary: $53,000
Art is something that really needs talent. If you are a mediocre, please don't study art, because you have no chance to turn over. If you are a genius, please do not study art, because you may not have the opportunity to see your work become a legend
If you are an unsociable genius, please do not study art, because there is no way out in this world without connections and only people who will bow their heads and engage in art.
If you are willing to be lonely, willing to wait for opportunities, have good interpersonal relationship handling skills, and have enough talent, art may be suitable for you. Going abroad to absorb the essence and then returning home to develop well may be a good idea for most people.
But the reality is often more brutal, and how many art graduates end up in a major that has nothing to do with the major is really lamentable. So, if you want to choose art, think about it!
psychology
Regret percentage: 56%
Underemployment rate: 64.5%
Early career salary: $31,000
Mid-career salary: $78,000
Psychology has always been a very popular profession in China and other places, because the pressure of modern society is huge, and the psychological intervention required is becoming more and more frequent. Therefore, psychological counselor is indeed a hot profession.
However, there is still a distance between studying psychology and becoming a good counselor.
But it is this certificate that has completely shattered the dream of many people as a psychological counselor. Because the difficulty of the examination is too great, many people can only be discouraged and eventually change their careers.
Therefore, risks and opportunities coexist, and if you want to succeed in psychology, it can take a lot of effort!
