In the past 20 years, architectural engineering majors have been very promising for employment. With the rapid development of China's economy and the advancement of urbanization, the construction industry is developing rapidly, which requires a large number of talents and labor. Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that managers working in the construction industry have higher incomes, and choose to apply for construction engineering majors. However, the reality is that the wages of migrant workers on the construction site are much higher than those of managers. The monthly salary of site managers is often only 3,000 yuan, and the workload is huge. In addition, site managers are responsible for the construction site, bearing the brunt of problems in the project, rather than the project management. Under today's strict engineering safety accountability system, once you take responsibility, the consequences can be catastrophic. Therefore, today's engineering college students often "run away" for employment and choose other fields for development.
From the point of view of most parents, teaching is a very decent job with an income, staffing and social status. However, the employment situation of teacher training majors is not optimistic. First of all, the number of graduates majoring in normal education is too large, and the school no longer allocates and compiles, and students can only find jobs on their own after graduation. Secondly, the teaching profession is very competitive and the number of positions is limited. Moreover, the establishment of after-school tutoring institutions has now been banned, further reducing the employment opportunities for teacher training majors. Teaching posts are mainly maintained at the current level, and there are few new vacancies. In addition, as the number of newborns is decreasing, so is the number of students in schools, and there may be school closures and teacher layoffs in the future. As a result, the once popular profession of teaching is no longer a wise career choice.
Many people will be inclined to choose a medical profession, especially those who have a history of illness in their family. However, applying for a medical major is an option that needs to be carefully considered. The threshold for employment in medical majors is very high. Compared with other majors, medical majors take longer to study and are more difficult to find employment after graduation. It takes 5 years to study at university, and to become a full-fledged doctor, you need to enter the hospital for up to 3 years of training and practice, and you can only work after obtaining a training certificate. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a doctor may have to go through 9 years of study and internship before he can officially work. Even working in rural hospitals in remote areas still face medical certification exams and three years of training and internship. Medical majors are time-consuming, and most medical students don't become full-fledged doctors until they're in their 30s.
In addition, the employment prospects in the doctor industry are not promising. According to statistics, in 2022, the number of full-time doctors in China will reach 18.8 million, while the number of newborns is less than 10 million. As fertility declines, the number of newborns in the future will only decrease, which means that schools will have fewer students, which will inevitably lead to school closures and teacher layoffs. This also means that there will be fewer positions for doctors. Therefore, parents should re-evaluate whether a medical major is a suitable employment option for their children when considering their children's future.
Computer science majors were popular majors in the past, and the employment situation was relatively good. However, computer science majors are currently experiencing involvement and high unemployment. The involution of the computer industry is serious, the competition is fierce, and the unemployment rate is also very high. In this industry, while the pay package is lucrative, the bosses are not stupid and once your salary rises to a certain level, they will fire you and then hire new graduates. Many computer science graduates are at risk of losing their jobs in less than 10 years. In addition, the technology in the computer field is updated very quickly, and it is necessary to constantly learn and keep up with new technologies, otherwise it is easy to be eliminated. This further increases the difficulty of employment for computer science graduates.
In general, the employment prospects of the above four majors are not optimistic. When choosing a major, students and parents should do more research, comprehensively consider the employment prospects, employment competition, personal interests, abilities and other factors of each major, and make a wise choice.
