Is it important to choose a university, fame or major?

As an experienced person, this only represents my personal opinion. The university I attended was not particularly famous, and my major was only opened in our school for one year, so you can consider that I didn't take up either of these two aspects, or that we didn't take up any major. However, after entering the society, the basic courses of the university are still very helpful to me, so I think the basic courses are also very important during the university period, regardless of which university or key university.

What's more, if you choose a major, your final job may not be your major or a small part of your field, so study hard at school.

EQ is also more important in the future work, which can be cultivated as much as possible during college, because many people from different provinces and regions, many different cultures and customs are intertwined here, which officially improves our cognition, gets along with others and makes friends, so this period of time is a good time to improve our EQ.

I hope these are useful to you.

Think of an example.

One of my relatives' children did well in college and asked me to volunteer for him. When he was a child, his wish was to surpass my first "role model" in Tsinghua. I have carefully studied his scores, and they are really good, especially in physics, which won prizes in the provincial competition. The total score should be on Tsinghua's line, but not too much. So I suggested that if he applied for Tsinghua, it might be difficult for him to enter such popular majors as electronics and computers, but mechanical engineering and water conservancy engineering were not a big problem. If he is a little second best at school, he can go to schools like Shanghai Jiaotong University and Tongji University, and basically he can enter any major. Unless he is really interested in mechanical or hydraulic engineering, the latter option is better.

He accepted my suggestion and entered the communication engineering major of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He likes it very much and is very interested in learning. After graduation, he now works in Silicon Valley, California.

Most people who need to struggle between choosing a school first or focusing on their major are likely to be in the same awkward position as my relative. If you get high enough, you can get into a better school, but you can't get into a good major that interests you. If they want to be admitted to their favorite major, they have to be wronged a little at school. Of course, it will be a little easier to choose between Tsinghua and Shanghai Jiaotong University. If one or two books are involved, it will be more serious, especially under the premise that domestic employment depends on undergraduate schools.

In America, many ordinary schools have well-known majors. For example, the University of Massachusetts at amherst (not MIT) is an extremely ordinary school, but its polymer major is the top in the world, and all the doctors who graduated from this major have taught in Ivy League schools. In contrast, Harvard and Yale are not famous for their polymer materials majors. Therefore, students who are interested in this major in the United States choose to go to the University of Massachusetts rather than pursue a prestigious school.

Look at your score first. If you can get into 985.438+0438+0, you should consider the school first, and then the major. 985.2 1 1 can't get into a school, but it's still on the same line. Consider your major and try to stay in one school. If these selected schools really don't have their own satisfactory majors, then go to two cities with good majors. The second major is major, and the school is not special.

I am a doctoral student, and I have gone through three times of choosing a school and choosing a career, namely, college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination and examination. Combined with my own personal practice, let me analyze this question. Which is more important, university fame or major?

Although everyone has his own opinion, different people have different opinions. However, I still want to give an answer that I think is most correct. It's hard to refuse the choice.

I. Real Case Analysis A few days ago, I saw a school teacher recruitment news. I used this as an example to know which one is important. I believe that after reading it, you will feel the same way with me:

1, look at the treatment first.

In addition, it also includes the following configuration processing conditions:

I believe that every newly graduated doctor will be very excited when he sees this treatment condition, thinking about which level of talents he belongs to. People who are not confident may feel that they are either A or B, because that's what I think. However, when I saw the basis of doctor's grade division, I was silent. I belong to Dr. C, not because I cut in from the lowest line of B file, but because of the judgment conditions set by the school.

I am a doctor who works hard to produce results, and I have indeed produced many achievements, including papers, science and technology awards, patents and so on. It can be said that I am also a top doctor at the same level, but I never thought that I would fall to C because of this.

2. Secondly, look at the conditions of doctoral classification.

See the basis of doctor classification:

As can be seen from the above figure, the school has divided the conditions for importing students, and made strict requirements for the first degree (that is, undergraduate graduate schools). From A+ to C, all schools with the first degree have been required to build universities into "double-class" universities or "21engineering" universities announced by the Ministry of Education. The most important thing is to have Unfortunately, my undergraduate college is a double-non-college.

That is to say, because my undergraduate college is an ordinary college, no matter how hard you work, how excellent you are, and how fruitful your achievements are, you will be frozen and become a "poor student" from the moment you apply for admission to the college entrance examination. Even if you get a doctorate from a well-known university at home and abroad, you can only be regarded as a C-file doctor, the lowest level.

Let's just say this is reality. "Birth theory" has always been around you and me, and it has also greatly influenced our own development.

Second, my point of view: based on the above-mentioned real case analysis, the university major is also my own point of view: choosing the reputation of the university is more important than choosing the major.

The specific reasons are as follows:

1, the social "fertility theory" must be paid attention to.

Although it is important to find a job major after graduating from college, it must also be admitted that the "origin theory" of the talent market is also very serious. In the process of talent selection, your ability has been eliminated, because you are a graduate of an ordinary university and haven't had time to show it.

In this society, the supply of outstanding talents who graduate every year always exceeds the demand. Employers are more willing to adopt a one-size-fits-all principle when considering the cost of talent selection and training, because they think that the overall ability level of graduates from high-level universities (2 1 1 or 985) is better than that of ordinary graduates, and excellent graduates from ordinary universities are a minority after all, and they are unwilling to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to screen out these few ordinary graduates. In other words, the cost performance is too low.

2. The "environmental theory" in colleges and universities is very important.

I believe everyone is familiar with the story of Meng Mu's three steps. In order to make Mencius a useful talent, Meng Mu moved three times, which changed his living environment. In other words, in the process of a person's growth, environmental factors play a great role, and even determine your life direction.

I think the reputation of a university actually represents the development level of the school to a certain extent, and the development level is not only measured by the strength of professional or disciplinary development, but also related to the environment and atmosphere for the growth of its talents. It is not difficult to find that the mottos of many well-known universities are all about the country and the world, and colleges and universities give people the feeling of generosity, tolerance and erudition. Learning and growing in such an environment will broaden your horizons and expose you to different resources, which cannot be replaced by a single professional level.

Therefore, the environment can cultivate talents, but the specialty is only the embodiment of the technical ability level.

3. The choice of major needs certain preconditions.

Of course, it doesn't mean that majors are not important. After all, this society also depends on skills. Graduation from a famous university provides you with a higher initial development platform.

In addition, many colleges and universities have now set up a freshman or sophomore period to adjust their majors, which means that even if you go to a well-known university but choose an unsatisfactory major, you don't have to worry, you can have a second choice; Of course, there will also be a large number of people who make professional adjustments through postgraduate entrance examinations or exams, so that they are strong in their first academic qualifications and majors.

Write at the end:

(1) University fame determines the starting point, which is determined from the college entrance examination, and there is no room for it; Specialty determines skill level and employment, which has certain selectivity;

(2) The height of the university platform can determine the height of the major; Conversely, it is difficult for professional height to determine the height of the platform;

(3) Long-term development depends on majors, and short-term thirst quenching depends on university fame;

(4) The cultivation of students' comprehensive quality by university platform can not be ignored, which is irreplaceable by majors.

These are my thoughts on this topic. Please correct me.

I don't think there is a fixed answer to this question no matter how you argue, because it's all about how to choose, which has both advantages and disadvantages! Let me talk about the choice of two children I have experienced! You can refer to the choice.

The first child is a career priority. He took the college entrance examination in 20 16, with a score of 644 in science and 525 in Hebei province. He can choose several 985 schools such as Central South University, Chongqing University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry Technology, and of course there are many 2 1 1 to choose from. The situation at that time was that if you chose 985, you would definitely not get into other people's high-scoring majors (let's just say that high-scoring majors are good majors), and you were unwilling to choose medical, normal and chemical related majors, plus geographical factors, so you finally gave up 985. Then I choose from Southwest Jiaotong University, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Nanjing Institute of Technology, North China Electric Power (Baoding) Harbin Engineering and other schools. Finally, I applied to Southwest Jiaotong University (the promotion line of Southwest Jiaotong University is 53 1), and I was admitted as I wish. Southwest Jiaotong University should be the oldest school in the railway industry, and its transportation major ranks first in the country. Its strong majors are civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, not to mention the electrical engineering of Mao Yisheng University. The employment rate is very good, and the graduates have good employment prospects in the railway system.

The second child is the top priority of the school. College entrance examination in 20 17, with a score of 578 and a score of 485 in Hebei province. Children don't consider majors, but only ask the school. As long as it is a 985 university, the worst majors can be accepted. After screening, he was finally selected by Northwest A&F University, and he obeyed the adjustment. At that time, the promotion line of Northwest A&F University was 577 points. He was only one point higher and was admitted as he wished. Now that the child is well developed, the university provides him with a very good platform to increase his knowledge. He is going to study in America this summer vacation!

Both children's choices are reasonable, they all get what they want, and they are very satisfied with their choices. Can this say who is good and who is not? How to develop in the future seems to be difficult to determine! So I don't think this issue can be debated. Priority schools must have advantages in their overall strength and academic atmosphere; Priority is given to majors with comparative advantages in professional ability and employment. Everyone's pursuit is different. What are you complaining about? No matter how you choose, once you decide, do it bravely and firmly. There are thousands of roads in the world. As for which way is better, it often depends on the mentality of the walker. As long as you walk seriously, anyone can reap the scenery all the way.

Personal views on one year after graduation from university;

If you can choose a school, you must choose a school first for three reasons.

1. Very realistic question. Many companies only recruit 985,211. Why? With the expansion of colleges and universities, there are too many college students, and thousands of resumes can't be read. Schools should bear the brunt of screening standards. In the same way, one school and two schools, two schools and three schools will definitely choose the former.

2. The faculty and alumni resources of a good school are immeasurable. Even if you are not a good major, you can use your spare time to take courses you are interested in, or change your major to an ideal major. There are many ways to learn. In addition, public resources such as activities, academic forums and reports of good schools are also extremely rich, and there are many places to study abroad, which are the advantages of good schools.

3. In addition to some very professional science and engineering jobs, students with corresponding majors are also needed, and now many jobs are highly accepted. Because most management work needs ability rather than specialty, when we enter the job after graduation, we are all white and need to learn a lot again. That's why I don't think major is that important.

Of course, major is the primary reference in school. In addition, if you must go to a post in science or engineering or related requirements, you can also refer to your major.

Part of studying in college is to exercise all aspects of your quality, and more importantly, to exercise your ability: learning ability and processing ability. If you want to eat and die, you'd better go to a good university. After all, China Construction and China Railway, the established state-owned enterprises, all receive income directly and ask nothing.

In a week or so, the results of the college entrance examination in most provinces will be announced. After the results of the college entrance examination are announced, the next most important issue is to volunteer to fill in the report.

In the process of volunteering, many candidates and parents have such questions. Should I choose an institution? Or choose a major or give priority to the region? Or choose a university?

In other words, ideal volunteer = good school+good region+good major.

And good school+good region+good major = good employment.

1. Why is geography more important? When volunteering, it is popular to say that you will go to Beishangguang when you study.

Universities in North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are more popular because of their relatively developed economies.

Although the relationship between the level of economic development and the comprehensive strength of the school is not great, the level of economic development in a place will affect your employment situation.

On the one hand, because there are more employment opportunities in big cities, it is relatively easy for big cities to find jobs when they graduate or internship opportunities when they are in college.

Most employers will consider the opportunity cost when recruiting, and enterprises will give priority to places with low recruitment costs and organize campus recruitment.

The place with the lowest recruitment cost is the universities around the enterprise. If the surrounding universities can't meet the employment needs of enterprises, then they will go to cities with high university concentration at this time.

On the other hand, the more economically developed areas, the better the quality of higher education.

Although the economic development of a region is not positively related to the quality of higher education in that region, colleges and universities in economically developed regions have more funds for running schools and faster development.

Therefore, when volunteering, geographically speaking, priority should be given to first-tier cities, that is, north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In addition, capital cities in economically developed areas or cities with relatively dense higher education resources, such as Wuhan, Chengdu, Xi, Harbin, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Tianjin, can be considered.

Of course, we can also consider some non-provincial capital cities with relatively high economic development, such as Dalian, Xiamen and Qingdao.

2. When volunteering, the second key factor is the school. Although heroes don't ask the source, going to college is like taking a train. Tsinghua Peking University is a soft sleeper, the key university is a hard sleeper, the ordinary university is a hard seat, and the college is a standing ticket. When the train arrived, everyone got off. No one will see where you come from, but for fresh graduates who have just left school, most employers will allocate jobs and salaries according to their academic qualifications, because enterprises have no better way than their academic qualifications.

Personally, we should give priority to famous universities in the choice of institutions.

In the past, many candidates and parents thought that 2 1 1 and 985 universities were famous universities, but the actual situation was often different. In some colleges and universities, candidates regret it immediately after they go. These universities were selected into 2 1 1 and 985 universities, not because of their comprehensive strength and good employment quality, but because of industry care, western support and preferential policies.

Therefore, when choosing an institution, we should not only look at how it is publicized, or whether it is "2 1 1 985 institution", but also focus on the score line of this institution in recent years. Generally, institutions with higher minimum scores will not be too bad, regardless of candidates' recognition or social prestige.

3. After talking about regions and colleges, let's talk about majors. In the choice of major, of course, we should give priority to the major we are interested in, at least, we don't hate the major we choose.

In addition, some candidates like certain majors, not because they really like them, but because they think they are popular. Seeing these majors, the salary is higher and the money comes faster.

Take the finance major as an example. In recent years, finance major is very popular. Many candidates feel that after studying finance, they can go to a brokerage or bank after graduation.

In fact, many brokers and banks now prefer graduates majoring in mathematics, computer and statistics, or graduates majoring in science and engineering such as mathematics, computer and statistics, while master's majors are compound talents majoring in finance.

Even if you can enter a bank or brokerage firm after graduating from finance, you should generally start from the grassroots level. Not many people can really stick to the end. It doesn't mean that you earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year after graduation and your working environment is high.

Therefore, in the choice of major, if you really have a major you are interested in, then this is of course very good; If you don't have a major that interests you, don't know what you want to do in the future, and don't worry too much.

Science candidates suggest giving priority to science and engineering majors, while liberal arts candidates suggest giving priority to traditional basic majors such as English, language and literature, economics and law. Unless you are really interested and really understand, don't rashly choose those names, which sound like a "tall" major.

4. Choose colleges or majors? After analyzing these three factors clearly, the question of the subject becomes very simple, which is the priority of choosing a major or a school?

This needs to be decided in combination with your college entrance examination results.

First, if you have a high score in the college entrance examination and are a high-scoring candidate, you should consider the three factors of region, institution and major at the same time when filling in your volunteers, and try to give priority to choosing a good major in a good school in an economically developed area.

Second, if your college entrance examination score is not too high and your score is in the middle level, then it is recommended to give priority to regions and institutions at this time.

In the choice of specific institutions, it is suggested that 2 1 1 and 985 comprehensive institutions in economically developed areas should be given priority.

Because the comprehensive 2 1 1 985 colleges and universities have comprehensive professional settings, and the strength of most majors is not too bad, assuming that in case you don't like your major, whether you want to adjust your major or take a double degree exam, you have more choices, and it is easier for you to find the major that interests you.

In addition, in recent years, some colleges and universities with relatively strong comprehensive strength, in order to attract candidates to register and reduce their worries about majors, have introduced large-scale enrollment and zero-adjustment (zero-adjustment means that as long as you fill in your professional volunteers, you won't be fired after filing, and you won't be transferred to a major that you didn't fill in), and you can change your major freely during your undergraduate course.

Therefore, for students with medium grades, it is suggested to give priority to institutions and try to choose institutions with strong comprehensive strength, 2 1 1, 985.

Third, if your college entrance examination score is not too high, your score is lower than the second batch of undergraduate courses, or a batch of junior college courses, then of course your major should be given priority.

Because of the achievements at this level, it is difficult to choose an institution with strong comprehensive strength, even in terms of geography.

In the choice of major, of course, give priority to the major you are good at. If you don't know what major you want to study, then according to the above analysis, science candidates will choose science and engineering majors, such as computer, petrochemical, communication, chemical engineering, mathematics and other majors; Candidates majoring in literature and history can choose this major if they can learn science and engineering well. If you can't learn well, you can choose some basic majors, such as English, Chinese language and literature, normal universities, law, accounting and so on. (Of course, there is no absolute normal major, which is linked to other majors. )

I am a "senior high school entrance examination"-sharing learning methods, paying attention to current educational events and guiding enrollment planning. I hope my answer is helpful to you. When choosing a school, do you value the reputation or specialty of the university? I think different people have different views, because each candidate's needs are different, and his final wants are different. The following is the choice of the school when taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

If this student thinks that his undergraduate school is not very good, and when he enters the school gate, he thinks that he must get rid of the title of so-called bad school through four years' efforts, and his obsession with the school level is much stronger than that of his major, then he can choose some schools and majors that are relatively easy to test or have less competitive pressure. The so-called relatively good test is defined as: 985, 2 1 1 schools in underdeveloped areas or non-provincial capital cities, when choosing majors, try to choose those majors that are not so small in enrollment scale but do not correspond to the dominant majors of the school. You must be clear at this time, that is what you want? If it is the name of the school, everything else should make way for it.

If you are studying social humanities, such as philosophy, law and history, you can give priority to schools with strong comprehensive strength, because it is not easy for HR to clearly understand the professional strength of the corresponding candidates in a relatively short period of time, so it is more important to pay attention to schools.

If you are taking natural science subjects, such as science and engineering and agriculture, it is recommended to pay more attention to professional strength. After all, these majors have higher requirements for practicality. If related majors are paid more attention in schools, the corresponding research funds will be more, and the more you can exercise your ability and improve your vision and academic level.

It needs to be explained here that the so-called university reputation can actually be understood in two ways. One is that the overall strength of the school is relatively strong, and the other is that the overall strength of the school is not too strong, but there are very obvious overbearing majors, such as economics major of University of Finance and Economics, law major of University of Political Science and Law, and education major of Normal University. In this case, you still have to see what you really want.

Your forwarding, my 10w+

I'm Zhang Xuefeng, a graduate teacher who makes learning happier.

If you want to say that it is important to have an endorsement of 985,211colleges and universities, I want to ask you, how many students got 985,211? The admission rate of 985 in all provinces in China is less than 2%, and the admission rate of 2 1 1 is only 5%. With these students who attended 985,211,are most of them students from key universities, ordinary undergraduate colleges, independent colleges and junior colleges in other provinces?

Tell me, besides 985,211,how many universities in other provinces can you name? How many non-local universities are there? Just name two. Do you know the difference? I'm afraid you'll have to flip a coin to decide who is strong and who is weak.

If you want to say that your major has nothing to do with your job, don't you do well yourself? I want to ask you, if you studied your current job-related major in college, will your career path be better now? Don't worry, give me an answer in a few seconds!

(The picture above was taken by Teacher Miao himself in nyu shanghai. Dividing majors after general education is one of his characteristics, which is the most obvious manifestation of respecting majors and not letting a student regret his life because of blindly choosing majors. )

What did you go to college for? Far away, it is to start looking for your own career path. Being close means discovering yourself and concentrating on your studies.

From the perspective of future career path, is it more related to your major or your school? For most people, it is still a big professional relationship! Why? Because most majors are universal, there is no great difference because of the labels of institutions, especially universities with less high level. In other words, your major determines your future career direction to some extent.

On the other hand, if your future career has nothing to do with your major in college, I would like to ask, what is the significance of your study in college for so many years? After studying accounting, you graduated as an administrator. To what extent can you apply what you have learned? You studied clinical medicine and made a lot of money by selling medical devices after graduation. I'm afraid you're ashamed to go to the class reunion!

(The picture above is taken by Mr. Miao himself in South University of Science and Technology, another example of general education. The junior year only subdivides the major, which gives you the opportunity to postpone your choice and ensure that you are a heartfelt choice. )

From the perspective of self-exploration, we have to admit that our exam-oriented education has greatly squeezed children's creativity and thinking ability at the K 12 stage, resulting in many children never considering the ultimate three questions after graduating from high school: Who am I? Where am I from? where am I going? If we can solve this problem in college, it will have a great positive impact on our life after graduation. You must ask, is this also related to the importance of professionalism? Sure!

If you can't find a major that suits you in college, no matter which college you study in, you will still muddle along like high school, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand. What ideals and feelings can you talk about? How can I feel free, calm and comfortable when learning what I love?

When you are still immersed in exams most of the time, you have just been in high school for four years, even seven years, or even more. While your classmates spend their college time like you, they are also exploring themselves, talking with themselves and society, and looking for the meaning of their existence and a more suitable future development path.

Excuse me, which is more rewarding, four years in high school or four years in college?

(The picture above was taken by Mr. Miao himself in Tsinghua, which is a model of large-scale enrollment. Several majors are merged into a few majors to enroll students, and then subdivided in sophomore year. You can select them roughly first and then carefully, and pay attention to the matching between individuals and majors. )

Finally, can you concentrate on your studies? If you are a person who is particularly interested in cars, which is more acceptable to you, a 500-page book, a car monograph or a cooking recipe? If you are a talented athlete, would you like to spend an hour running for fitness or an hour reciting poems?

If you find a major that you like and suit yourself, you can easily get relatively good grades, and you can achieve the effect of 60 minutes of study in 20 minutes. Do you want this feeling?

Learning efficiency is higher, learning motivation is more sufficient, and a lot of time is reserved. What is this for? It is also good to find yourself, to think, to learn other related knowledge, to visit great rivers and mountains, to talk about a love, and to increase experience.

Tell me about my experience. After the college entrance examination, I applied to two universities, xidian university and Chengdian University. Both universities are strong in electronics. It's written in the front. Later, after the score line came out, I found myself a few minutes away from the score line. Finally, I went to xidian university and attended the key specialty of Chengdian. When I took the admission notice, I saw a classmate with a higher score than me, who had just reached the fractional line of power generation. I guess he filled in the adjustment. As a result, he studied environmental engineering at Chengdu University of Electronic Technology, which had little to do with electronics. He went to a good university, but his major was not good, so he could not find a job in the future.
