In the workplace skills race, diligence and ability are the keys to a good future and income. However, we often overlook the importance of choosing an industry. It's like choosing a seat on the Titanic, no matter how hard you try, you won't be doomed in the end. Choosing an industry that suits you is crucial to your career development.
In every era, there are booms and declines in the industry. Looking back on history, we can see that some industries that were once all the rage have now been eliminated by the torrent of the times. In order to prepare for a rainy day, we must learn to be ahead of the curve and understand these industries that are about to be overlooked by young people for future development.
1. KTV industry
KTV used to be a favorite entertainment for young people, but with the passage of time, young people's entertainment concepts are also changing. Since the beginning of the new century, this way of singing parties has gradually been considered "old-fashioned". Young people are more inclined to choose other forms of entertainment, such as cinemas, online games, etc. Therefore, the KTV industry is gradually losing the favor of young people.
2. Stamps, calligraphy, painting, and cultural toys industry
With the advancement of informatization, people's letters and parcels have become less and less, and postal service is no longer an important part of people's lives. At the same time, the simplification and Westernization of home decoration styles have also led to a decline in interest in traditional cultures such as collecting calligraphy and paintings, and cultural games. While there is still a hobby of collecting among middle-aged and older people, this type of stuff has become increasingly unpopular among young people.
3. Fur industry
Once upon a time, fur represented status and economic power, and became a fashion trend pursued by many people. However, in modern society, more and more young people are beginning to refuse to wear fur. They consider wearing fur too tacky and have a higher awareness of animal protection. Therefore, with the rise of the younger generation, the fur industry is facing great challenges.
4. Liquor industry
The liquor industry has always been a lucrative industry, but with the change in young people's values, they are far less obsessed with "good wine" than their elders. Young people pay more attention to the most reasonable and brand image of wine, such as beer, wine, etc. Therefore, if the liquor industry does not transform and adjust its strategy, it will be difficult to gain a foothold among young consumers.
The downgrading of young people's consumption is actually a helpless move. Increasing family burdens and living pressures, while policy restrictions and financial hardship make it difficult for most graduates to secure well-paid jobs. Therefore, they can only make appropriate adjustments in food, clothing, hobbies, etc., and choose more affordable products and services.
This notion of rational consumption is actually worthy of affirmation, because it is more in line with reality than vanity consumption. Young people are beginning to pay attention to changes in quality of life and values, and pursue products that are practical and more cost-effective. For example, they prefer to wait for toilet paper to drop in price rather than chasing expensive fashion clothing. This also shows that affordable and affordable products are the more popular choice in the future.
With the development and change of society, some industries are facing the fate of being "abandoned" by young people. This is not entirely because these industries are outdated or "tacky", but because the economic difficulties and uncertainties faced by young people make it impossible for them to buy expensive goods or services.
When choosing a industry, we need to take a long-term view and adjust our strategy in a timely manner. Take precautions, advance the development trend of the industry, and avoid falling into a situation of decay. At the same time, we should also understand the helplessness of young people's consumption downgrade, which is caused by economic pressures and changes in values.
To sum up, choosing a suitable industry is essential for an individual's career development. We can't ignore the changes in the industry and the changes in the consumption behavior of young people. Only with a proactive vision and the ability to adapt to rapid change can you be invincible in the highly competitive workplace.
