How cold are unpopular majors?Before finishing the major, he was eliminated and became an "out-of-print talent".
How cold are unpopular majors?I didn't finish college, my major was gone, and I was careless"Talent is depleted"。
After the college entrance examination, every student is full of expectations for the university, especially after filling in the volunteers, because the selected schools and majors are carefully selected, everything is full of beauty, as if they can already see a bright future.
When you enter the university, you are full of freshness and enthusiasm for everything, and you are full of hope for the future. In the first class, the professors of each course will talk about it and make you feel that you are an indispensable part of the development of society, a talent who is about to become a pillar of the country, and immediately make you feel good about yourself.
However, as time went on, it turned out that things didn't seem to be as the teacher had originally said. Teachers don't fool you, every profession has its own value, but among the more than 500 existing occupations in China, there are obviously hot and unpopular professions, which have different impacts on future employment and development.
Everyone has a different opinion on the choice of major. Some people like to choose popular majors and think that there are many opportunities for development after graduationSome people choose unpopular majors, believing that they are affordable and the competition is relatively small. However, according to the continuous increase and decrease of majors in colleges and universities in recent years, there are still certain risks in choosing non-popular majors.
Some colleges and universities are adding new courses while withdrawing new ones. Some colleges and universities simply weren't prepared to provide enough support for new courses, resulting in courses being cancelled shortly after they opened. Some courses are even canceled two years after they were proposed, leaving students at a loss. The main reason for this was that the school's faculty and professional development could not support the opening of new degrees, so it was rushed to open and eventually revoked.
This year, the Ministry of Education revoked 518 courses, leaving many students out of course before they finished college. These include the most popular courses from previous years, as well as new courses added a few years ago, which many people have never heard of. Even some first-class universities, such as the National People's Congress, Nankai, ** University of Finance and Economics, etc., have canceled many courses.
Some courses are even called"Zombies"The course has never enrolled a student since its inception. While this situation is not a bad thing for students, at least it will not be embarrassing and upset because of the cancellation of the course. For example, Zhejiang University's e-commerce course has been running for many years, but it has not enrolled students. When asked by reporters, the staff of the academy had even forgotten about the existence of this course.
Next, let's take a look at some of the most cancelled courses by colleges and universities, in no particular order.
Information and Computer Science: Although it seems to be related to programmers, it is actually a professional direction in the School of Mathematics, and its development prospects are not as good as those of computer science or mathematics, which is a relative"Unpopular"professional direction. Currently, students are more interested in artificial intelligence, so the cancellation of information and computer science may be due to its poor development prospects.
Public Utilities Management: It used to be a brilliant major, but due to the large number of subjects, each subject is not studied in depth enough, and the employment rate is naturally lower than that of students with strong majors, and even in the public industry, there is no advantage.
Fashion Design Major: It used to be a popular major, but in the past 10 years, 39 fashion design majors have been cancelled by various universities. The threshold for colleges and universities to add this major is low, and the professional strength is uneven, resulting in the talent of many students being buried and finding employment after graduation.
In addition to the above courses, there are other courses that have been cancelled, such as Educational Technology, Editing & Publishing, Accounting, etc. Candidates should be cautious when choosing to apply for the exam.
If we look at the cancelled courses, we see that many of the once popular courses have also been cancelled. Popular majors are popular mainly because of good job prospects. When a profession is gradually saturated with the development of the times or is eliminated because it is no longer needed by society, the profession is not far from being abolished.
The purpose of pursuing a degree is to get a better job, so pursuing a degree is also a kind of responsibility for students. Otherwise, you'll end up studying in a lonely university. After all, I finally entered the university and carefully chose a major, only to find that the major was canceled and merged with other majors, and as a result, the degree was not recognized and I couldn't find a job. In this case, what else to go to college, a waste of time and money.
Some courses have been withdrawn from some colleges and universities, but not completely extinct, simply because more institutions have withdrawn these courses. This trend suggests that these courses may be going through a recession phase with poor job prospects, so it's best not to choose.
Although not all"Unpopular"None of the fields of expertise are desirable, but the length of time for which a new field of expertise emerges carries certain risks and therefore needs to be carefully considered. As for which professional fields should be eliminated, this is a more subjective judgment. As for whether a school has added some intriguing areas of specialization, I don't know.
