Written on the front: How to choose a college major has always been a concern for parents and candidates. Think ahead and plan so that you can have a good idea of how to apply for the exam in the future.
The theme of this series starts from result-oriented thinking, from the employment situation, to look at the choice of major, and then from the professional situation, to look at the choice of colleges.
This article is about the industrial design major.

This major belongs to the category of machinery, and I paid attention to this major when readers asked how to fill in the adjustment colleges and majors in the solicitation of volunteers, and found that this major was impressively listed (in the "2023 General University Enrollment Solicitation Volunteer Announcement", Tianjin University of Commerce, soliciting industrial design majors).
Generally, the majors in the adjustment ranks are relatively unpopular majors, but the industrial design major cannot be regarded as a popular major, but at least it is not an unpopular major.
So why does it appear in the adjustment ranks, and what are the reasons why parents and candidates do not choose?
Let's take a look at the employment situation of this major first. The author inquired about 24 representative cities in the country, and the major is in most cities, and the job market demand is average, and there is a certain demand, but the amount is not large. Let's select three representative cities, namely Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Wuxi, to take a look at the recruitment positions.

Let's take a look at Shenzhen first, the recruitment situation of this major can be seen in the following figure:
The demand for recruitment in this major in the region is okay. Enterprises recruiting for such positions involve industries such as automobiles, electronic and digital technology, electrical and medical equipment, e-commerce, etc.
In terms of academic qualifications, the professional position in the job market is dominated by undergraduate and college degree requirements, and the requirements for master's degree are relatively few, and the recruitment demand ratio of master's degree:undergraduate:junior college is about 0.1:5:4.
In terms of salary, the undergraduate is 8-500,000 yuan/year, and the junior college is 6-400,000 yuan/year (there are fewer master's students, and the data is not referenced, so it is not listed for the time being).

Looking at Zhengzhou, the recruitment situation in this area can be seen in the following figure:
The recruitment demand for this major in the region is general, and the recruitment industries involve electronic technology, medical equipment, home appliances, electrical equipment, e-commerce, etc.
In terms of academic qualifications, the recruitment demand ratio of bachelor's degree to junior college is about 3:2, and the demand for master's degree is very small.
In terms of salary, the undergraduate is 8-400,000 yuan/year, and the junior college is 6-400,000 yuan/year, and the salary gap is not large. The nature of the post and the level of the applicant unit of the junior college are not worse than those of the undergraduate. As far as the region is concerned, the employment situation of the undergraduate degree in this major is comparable to the college level, and the undergraduate degree does not have much advantage.
From this point of view, the academic requirements for this kind of work are not high, and there are very few positions that require a master's degree. To do well in this industry, you must have innovative thinking and the ability to gain insight into market demand.

Finally, looking at Wuxi, the recruitment situation in this area can be seen in the following figure:
The recruitment demand for this major in the region is average, and there is not much information about the positions of the corresponding majors.
In terms of academic qualifications, the recruitment is mainly based on the requirements of undergraduate and college degrees (there is little demand for master's degrees), and the salary is 8-300,000 yuan/year for bachelor's degree and 6-200,000 yuan/year for junior college.

On the whole, the demand for the matching positions of this major is average, the salary advantage is not obvious, and there are not many high-paying positions.
This major spans two disciplines, engineering and art. The industrial design major, which integrates the two disciplines, has narrowed the employment area. You can look at the first-tier cities, compared with other engineering majors, what level of demand for this major is, it is really not much. If it is a pure engineering major, such as mechanical and electronic information majors, the employment demand is relatively large.
It can be said that the major learns two things at the same time, and it takes a lot of energy, but the employment cost performance is not high.
Looking back, there is an answer to why this major appeared in the call for volunteers. Although this major is not an unpopular major, the market demand for the corresponding professional positions is not large, and the chances of finding a suitable job are relatively small.
There may be a situation where due to the limited job opportunities in this major, graduates of this major may go to positions such as mechanical engineers and mechanical drawings, and there are many job opportunities for such positions in the market. If this is the result, then why bother to study industrial design in the first place, learn both, neither of them is proficient, and the employment is not as advantageous as specializing in mechanical design and manufacturing.
That's all for today's sharing, each time you can learn a little more information related to the college entrance examination.
