I believe that most people will choose popular majors such as computer, law, medicine and normal school, and a few will choose personalized majors such as archaeology, philosophy, psychology and animal protection in nature reserves. Although it is a great thing to be wise after the event, it seems to open your eyes, but it is nothing more than attacking the city and life is too complicated.
Some people, especially middle-aged people, really understand what kind of person they are, what kind of life they are suitable for, and what kind of career they are engaged in.
Some people, besieged by the city, think it will be better to change their majors at that time.
Some people are speculative. At that time, he signed up for a popular major, which caught up with a good time, but it took thousands of days to be unpopular. Now they are out of fashion, and he regrets it. This kind of people live the most painful life, but they all ask for it.
But would it be better to change your major at that time? Not necessarily. Your present situation is determined by your comprehensive strength. Luck, hard work and timing are all important, which can never be decided by a major. If you think so, you are doomed to be worthless all your life, for sure.
Take me for example, I am a deep fan of literature, history and philosophy, but I applied for the major of economics and management, and later I was admitted to the civil service. Now I'm quite ordinary. Would I really be satisfied if I had applied for Chinese, become a university teacher, become a researcher of Tang poetry and Song poetry and the history of the Republic of China? Although I think it may be now, I am not 100% sure whether I will complain about my poverty and envy people who embrace the big times.
Therefore, there must be a reason to choose what you like or what is popular now. The future, who knows?
A few small misunderstandings.
You don't want to choose a major, you can choose it if you want. If you can choose your major and study whatever you want, there is no problem of volunteering to fill out the form to choose your major. Although in theory you can choose your favorite major, in fact most people are chosen by their major. For example, everyone wants to study computer major now, but there are so many computer enrollment places, accounting for about 1% of the total enrollment, and 99% of people can only study other majors. Most people can't read their favorite major, so they have to settle for the second best. Thirdly, there are still a large number of people who have no choice at all, and being transferred is resigned. Why? Because most people don't want to lower the level of running a school in order to ensure a good major.
Second, let you choose again. Most people are still confused. Because most people are in a state of confusion all their lives, they don't really understand what they like and what they can do with the drift of consciousness. So most people will choose computers, but for the above reasons, most people still can't understand computers.
The so-called suitable major does not refer to a specific major, but a category. For more than 500 majors, it is not appropriate for you to study this and that. Although there are more than 500 majors, they are divided into 13 disciplines (philosophy, economics, law, education, literature and history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management, military science and art). The so-called fit, to be exact, is suitable for a certain category. The so-called wrong major selection refers not to the comparison of majors in the same category, but to the category. It doesn't mean that you are right to study electrical engineering, but wrong to study automation. It means that you studied science and engineering, but art, agriculture and forestry, but science and engineering, but social science, economic management, but medicine.
When I say appropriate major, I mean relative. There are so many black-and-white standards that there is no case where you are only suitable for this major and not for that major. People have great potential, great changes and suitability. It's just a judgment based on your current situation. Now you are only 18 years old, and 18 years old can shape you for a lifetime? What is suitable for the present may not be suitable for the future, and vice versa. So you don't have to consider whether it is suitable or not? This goes from one extreme to the other. Can only be considered according to the present, although not necessarily accurate, at least better than the fog. In fact, most people don't know what they are suitable for, and even most people are in a muddled state all their lives, and they don't really understand what they like and what they can do. Even if I know, I basically follow the crowd and learn what is popular. Therefore, most people want to learn computer. Of course, I can't be wrong. It is also a way to follow most people who don't know what they want, at least not too much.
There is a general principle about choice. If you like it, choose what you like (this likes to like it on the basis of understanding, not to follow suit). If you don't like it, choose what you are good at. If you don't have what you like or are good at, choose what is popular and what most people pursue. Not only majors, but also job hunting and many other things.
Major has little influence on life. And with the growth of age, you will find that the so-called professional right or wrong is largely a false proposition, and the impact of majors on life is not that great. Specialty is different from industry, occupation and post, and has greater influence. A major can be related to many industries, occupations and positions. Similarly, an industry, a profession and a post can also be related to many majors. This is a long life. Do you think learning a hot major will be all right? Mode. In addition, there are opportunities for cross-disciplinary examinations and major changes.
But don't go from one extreme to the other. I don't think major is important. I'm just telling you that you don't have to worry about guiding food.
General principles (for reference only). Science (especially boys) brainless computers, software engineering, big data, intelligent science, communication engineering, information engineering (electronic information engineering). Mathematics and statistics are also good majors, but the requirements for mathematics scores are relatively high. Electrical, construction, vehicle and automation, these four traditional projects F4 can also be considered. Liberal arts (especially girls) have no brains in accounting, law, foreign languages, Chinese, finance, finance and taxation, trust management, auditing, normal schools, medicine and so on. Poor family: practical engineering and business (female), computer software engineering, automation, electrical engineering, vehicle engineering, accounting, auditing and financial statistics. In order to have a skill to settle down. Female students: Carefully apply for engineering and business, and foreign grammar is preferred for economic management teachers, and medicine is not a problem. Introverted sensitivity: I tend to deal with machines more than people, outgoing and lively, and dare to think and do. On the contrary, learn a major that can give full play to your communication management execution ability. The second generation: learn whatever you want, and like it is the first generation. Middle class: art, literature, business (also around art, curatorial gallery management, etc.), which not only cultivates sentiment but also earns a lot of money. You still have to consider your hobbies (especially what you really love and are good at). If you really have no hobbies, then learn what you want to learn. For example, Zhihu's two magic weapons, financial computer, will not regret it as much as other majors in the future!
