Clinical Medicine, Stomatology, Popular Majors, Animal Medicine?
Recently, a college entrance examination student from Chongqing asked a very interesting question from the author's parents:"Professor Liu, in the choice of majors, the most popular medical majors are clinical medicine, stomatology and veterinary medicine?Is it good or not?"Judging from this question, the college entrance examination candidates and parents who fill in the volunteers are still very in-depth and worthy of praise.
Clinical medicine and stomatology belong to the category of medicine, while animal medicine belongs to the category of agriculture, but many high school candidates and parents think that they are medicine, which is not wrong, so what about animal medicine?Today, the author would like to give you a detailed answer.
In 2022, the number of graduates majoring in clinical medicine from more than 200 universities in China will reach 850,000 people, more than 120 colleges and universities specializing in stomatology20,000 people, and the veterinary medicine major has only opened more than 80 colleges and universities, but the scale of its graduates is comparable to that of the stomatology major, and the number of graduates is currently 1About 20,000 graduates.
Let's take a look at the comparison of the average monthly salary data of graduates of these three majors in different provinces and cities in the three years after graduation:
Clinical Medicine: 8,100 yuan in Beijing, 8,100 yuan in Shanghai, 6,000 yuan in Guangdong, 5,200 yuan in Chongqing, 5,000 yuan in Sichuan, 5,000 yuan in Hunan, 5,500 yuan in Jiangsu, 4,200 yuan in Guizhou, 5,800 yuan in Zhejiang, etc.
Dentistry: 6,700 yuan in Beijing, 7,400 yuan in Shanghai, 6,700 yuan in Guangdong, 6,800 yuan in Chongqing, 5,000 yuan in Sichuan, 5,000 yuan in Hunan, 5,800 yuan in Jiangsu, 4,000 yuan in Guizhou, 6,400 yuan in Zhejiang, etc.
Veterinary Medicine: 13 000 yuan in Beijing, 11 000 yuan in Shanghai, 10 000 yuan in Guangdong, 5 000 yuan in Chongqing, 5 200 yuan in Sichuan, 7 000 yuan in Hunan, 5 800 yuan in Jiangsu, 7 400 yuan in Zhejiang, etc.
Judging from the salary data of graduates of the three majors, the average salary data of graduates of veterinary medicine in most provinces and cities is higher than that of graduates of clinical medicine and stomatology. Of course, the earning potential of veterinary medicine graduates is certainly not as high as that of dental medicine graduates, let alone compared to the later earning potential of clinical medicine graduates.
