Due to the impact of the domestic and foreign environment, the development situation of all walks of life has changed, which directly affects the employment of graduates of various majors in colleges and universities.
For example, four years ago, civil engineering was still a popular major, but now the 2024 graduates of civil engineering majors in colleges and universities have no way to find employment, and the public examination and examination have become the final way out.
Many students do not understand the development and changes of the industry to which these majors belong before choosing a school or major, and they will eventually suffer a loss.
For example, four years ago, there was already a situation in the real estate industry, but many people did not understand the changes in the real estate and infrastructure industries, and then continued to choose civil engineering and construction majors in 2019.
Therefore, in view of the current development trend of various industries, some majors that do not have good development prospects should be carefully considered.
According to the research on the development trend of various industries in China, the employment report released by the joint universities, and the red card warning majors announced by the Ministry of Education every year, the following five majors should be cautious.
The first specialization is preschool education. The so-called preschool education majors are basically opened in junior colleges and normal undergraduate colleges, mainly for the training of teachers in kindergartens around the country, and improve the level of kindergarten schooling.
Industry trends: According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of babies born in China in 2023 will be 9.02 million, and experts** may continue to decline in the future. At present, the number of kindergarten students in China is about 15 million per year.
According to data from the Ministry of Education, more than 5,000 kindergartens in China have been closed, and the number of closures may continue to increase in the future, and many in-service kindergarten teachers may be unemployed. Therefore, the employment of preschool education graduates will be more severe in the future.
The second major is psychology. In China, colleges and universities mainly in the liberal arts type offer psychology majors, and in previous years, they relied on adjustment to complete the enrollment task. Psychology tends to be theoretical, with limited practical skills.
Industry development trend: China's psychological counseling service industry is developing slowly, and it only exists in first-tier cities. According to the survey data, the general resistance of the Chinese people to psychological counseling is concerned.
It is also difficult to see the future development prospects of this industry, and the threshold for the psychological counselor examination is very high, and the psychological counselors that can be accommodated by the school are limited. Even if you have a graduate degree, it is still difficult to find employment in this major.
The third is the minor language major. According to the catalogue of the Ministry of Education, minor language majors belong to the discipline of foreign Chinese language and literature. China's minority languages include Arabic, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese and Japanese.
Industry trends: Graduates majoring in minor languages used to be mainly used as translators, and when China first joined the WTO, it ushered in the highest moment. But now that artificial intelligence is impacting, the future development prospects are bleak.
On the one hand, machine translation is faster and more accurate, which is easier to use than ordinary minor language graduates. On the other hand, the number of students studying abroad has increased, and they can work as part-time translators in companies after returning to China for employment, so the demand for related talents has shrunk seriously.
The fourth major is International Economics and ** Major. The major is mainly offered in financial colleges and universities and comprehensive universities, international economics and ** belongs to the subdivision of economics, the undergraduate stage is theoretical, often called "fake big empty".
Industry trends: As international competition becomes more and more fierce, protectionism is rising, resulting in a decline in the overall global volume, and even anti-globalization in some regions, and ** companies in all countries around the world are affected.
Even after the end of the epidemic, the global ** volume has not grown, but has shrunk. Coupled with the influence of regional instability, the future is more pessimistic, so this major should also be carefully chosen.
The fifth is a specialization in biotechnology. As a major that has been awarded the red card by the Ministry of Education for many consecutive years, biotechnology has always been controversial. Originally, the program was intended to train technical personnel for biological research, improve animal and plant products, and conduct research on genes and cloning.
Industry trend: At the beginning of the 21st century, China's biological industry will enter a period of great development, but more than 20 years have passed without any results. The overall market size of the biological industry is less than 300 billion yuan, and it is mainly dependent on the medical industry.
So far, China has not produced a world-class biotech company, and there is no world-class medical company. As a result, biomedical science students are prone to unemployment at the undergraduate level, and many students are forced to take the postgraduate entrance examination and find a new way out.
Relatively speaking, the development prospects of the industries to which the five majors mentioned above belong are not very good, and from the perspective of probability theory, they are not suitable for ordinary students, so students choose carefully this year.
