What is the best major to study in a vocational college? Which majors are promising?

Majors are divided into popular and unpopular ones. There is no good or bad. Every major needs talents, and in 360 professions, the best in each profession will be the best.

When choosing a major, you must first consider your own interests. Is there a long-term development of further studies in this professional field, working in this field, rather than for a diploma.

Secondly, consider your potential and strengths, including your strengths and weaknesses. Which major has huge potential? Give full play to your learning advantages so that you can quickly stand out in this work field and become a top talent in the future. Major is very important in our life, but it is not absolute. Lu Buxuan, a butcher from Peking University, majored in Chinese. However, he was short of selling pork and became a late bloomer.

Going to school sometimes trains our vision, connections, and mental maturity. Broaden our perspectives and relationships. The fact that he went to a vocational high school means that he did not go to a general high school. It may mean that his cultural performance is relatively poor. In fact, for a vocational high school graduate from a secondary vocational school, there is no advantage at all in finding a job. Our purpose of going to vocational high school is not to use the vocational high school certificate to find a job. Vocational high school is just a springboard, which belongs to basic education. The real purpose of going to vocational high school is to further deepen the higher vocational college and carry out higher vocational education at the university level, so that we can become qualified Technical talents with special skills. If you are still willing, you can study for a bachelor's degree through the junior college-to-bachelor degree program. If you have an outstanding undergraduate degree, you can also study for a professional degree. Now this channel for improving academic qualifications has been opened. Therefore, I think the first criterion for choosing a major in a vocational high school should be which major is easier to enter university for further study. The second criterion is to consider your own interests and strengths and whether they will help you stand out in the future.

What is the best major to study in a vocational college? Which major has the best development prospects? For students who are preparing to fill out their application form, this question is an extremely important decision as to whether they can choose an ideal job position when entering the society in the future, so that the knowledge they have learned can be fully utilized and their future development direction can be determined. I think about this question. Discuss with everyone in three steps.

First, let’s take a look at what type of school a vocational high school is. The full name of vocational high school is higher vocational and technical college. There were some in the past, but not many. Since the reform and opening up, in order to adapt to the rapid economic development under the new situation, the large demand for labor and improve the employment rate, the state advocates the establishment of basic education institutions. To be specific, it is to provide A remedial measure for those students who failed the college entrance examination is to give them a shortcut and ladder to find a job nearby. It mainly aims to popularize the operational skills and basic knowledge of various jobs, directly facing the demand of the employment market through the order-based education model, and through theoretical The entire training process is completed with practical operations. Students who come out after studying here can be qualified for various corresponding jobs in society and directly find employment.

Second, what kind of grades are suitable for studying in vocational high school.

Based on the understanding of vocational high school, combined with your current college entrance examination scores and usual performance, two situations can be divided into two situations for reference.

1. I usually have average test scores every time, and I have expertise in a single subject, and my scores in this subject are above average. Due to my mistakes in this college entrance examination, I failed to fully realize my potential, resulting in a decline in my scores. For students who are relatively large and stay on the junior college line, I personally recommend that you continue to repeat, because you still have room for development, you have specialties, and it is worth fighting for. Find out the reasons for failure, sum up experience and lessons, and clarify the direction of your efforts. After a year of hard work, it is possible to gain as little as 30 points or as much as 60 points. An undergraduate student will earn about 1,500 yuan more than a vocational high school student in a starting position. I have a nephew who failed to take the second course of the college entrance examination. He gained 60 points after repeating the exam for one year and was admitted to Sichuan University. Now he is studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D. at Tsinghua University. Therefore, if you have potential, don’t give up. It’s worth fighting for better jobs and broad development space in the future.

2. Candidates whose scores in this college entrance examination are almost the same as usual, just above the junior college level.

Candidates who have an optimistic, positive spirit, dare to face reality, and are diligent and eager to learn. , most suitable for studying in vocational high school.

Third, how to choose a major with development prospects when studying in vocational high school. The ancients said: "Three hundred and sixty years of practice will lead to the number one scholar." However, some people also say that "interest is the best teacher." You can choose the corresponding major based on which subjects you are usually interested in and have expertise. Based on what I have seen, heard and experienced in the South for more than 30 years, I think the following majors have relatively promising prospects for your reference.

1. Automobile maintenance direction

With the rapid development of science and technology, transportation becomes more and more developed, and the automobile industry changes with each passing day. There are many types of supporting automobile service majors, all of which are theoretical. Combined with practice, the entire car is disassembled and assembled, and the performance and working principles of each component are decomposed and debugged. After three years of study and practice, after graduation, you will either open your own shop or apply for a job in the auto repair industry, and your income will be relatively high. Can.

2. CNC technology major

CNC technology is mainly used in various highly technical mechanical operations, such as CNC lathes, milling machines, large laser cutting machines, mold engraving, etc. Including the advanced machines used by large enterprises today are basically CNC. The teaching methods are a combination of theory and practice. You can learn theory while doing practical exercises. It is very easy to get started. Moreover, after graduation, the above-mentioned jobs are relatively technical, the work is stable and easy, and the salary is good.

3. Mechatronics

In the past, machinery was a diesel engine, which was simple and easy to maintain. But now it is all electrified. All mechanical power uses electricity. When it comes to faults, maintenance personnel must understand both mechanical principles and electrical knowledge in order to be competent in today's maintenance work. Although the work is hard, it has high technical content, fixed jobs, good wages and benefits, and broad prospects.

4. Advertising design, business English, fine chemicals and chef majors are all popular majors with high demand and broad employment prospects. There are also many better majors that I have not mentioned, and you can choose accordingly according to your own interests and hobbies. But I think no matter what major you choose, the most important thing is to learn real skills and good techniques, lay a solid foundation, practice basic skills well, and be able to give full play to and use the knowledge you have learned when you go to work, and solve problems quickly when you encounter them. Easily solved.

The degree from a vocational high school is not the end. Today’s children must study at least a full-time junior college, and then upgrade to a bachelor’s degree during the junior college period, so that their academic qualifications can basically meet the standards; the professional skills of a vocational high school are not the end, either. It is truly more complete theory and practice. , you need to study hard in a technical school, otherwise you can only do some very simple technical positions.

When children go to vocational high school, they may not understand any professional direction. This is more of a test of the parents’ knowledge and decision-making.

I personally suggest that girls can choose dental, nursing, normal school, and engineering majors; boys can choose dental, nursing, computer, and cooking majors. Engineering and mechanical majors are overwhelmingly male, with a male-to-female ratio. If there is no coordination, the learning atmosphere may be a little worse.

In short, we must encourage children to work harder to counterattack. Many students who are admitted to high school can only go to junior college. The key is that their skills are not as good as those of vocational high school graduates. There is nothing to be afraid of, unless you give up!

There has never been a major that will undoubtedly become a popular major in the next ten years or even longer. This is today’s protagonist—the industrial robotics technology application major.

What is industrial robot technology?

Industrial robots are a combination of mechanical technology, electrical and electronic technology, microelectronics technology, information technology, sensor technology, interface technology, signal conversion technology and other technologies. Carry out organic combination and comprehensive application to the systematic crossover in practice. The application scope of industrial robot technology covers many fields such as industry, agriculture, and national defense. It is the foundation and support of modern industrial technology, an important part of high-tech industries, and plays an increasingly important role in the national economy.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the rapid development of new technologies represented by artificial intelligence, robots, digital manufacturing, etc. is reshaping the competitive landscape of the international manufacturing industry. A very important feature of the third industrial revolution is intelligence. The development of the robot industry also meets the needs of the third industrial revolution. Data shows that 10 years ago, China’s unit labor cost was 40% of the U.S. average, and now it exceeds 70% of the U.S. level. Labor costs have surpassed those of Thailand and Malaysia, making it the country with the highest labor costs among emerging Asian countries. Analysts expect China's rapidly rising labor costs to continue.

In addition, China’s manufacturing industry’s share of the world’s share continues to increase, which is also an important cornerstone of the development of the robotics industry. Data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that China's manufacturing industry currently accounts for 20% of the global manufacturing industry. Obviously, with the progress of global industrial transfer and the development of China's manufacturing industry itself, the proportion of China's manufacturing industry in the world will continue to rise in the future. At present, China's robot ownership is only one-fifth that of Japan and one-third that of the United States and Germany.

Industrial robots provide technical support for "intelligent" manufacturing

"Made in China 2025" proposes: focus on accelerating the development of machinery, aviation, ships, automobiles, Intelligent transformation of production equipment in light industry, textile, food, electronics and other industries to improve precision manufacturing and agile manufacturing capabilities; coordinate the layout and promote intelligent transportation, intelligent engineering machinery, service robots, intelligent home appliances, intelligent lighting appliances, and wearable devices and other product research and development and industrialization; develop new manufacturing models such as Internet-based personalized customization, crowdsourcing design, and cloud manufacturing, and promote the formation of R&D, manufacturing, and industrial organization methods based on dynamic perception of consumer demand.

A keyword "intelligence" is mentioned repeatedly here, and industrial robot technology provides technical support for intelligent manufacturing. Intelligent equipment is the core of high-end equipment, the forefront of manufacturing equipment and the foundation of manufacturing. It has become the competitive target of today's industrially advanced countries.

As a high-end equipment system, intelligent manufacturing equipment mainly includes new sensors, intelligent control systems, industrial robots, and automated complete production lines. The key development direction of the manufacturing industry and an important manifestation of the deep integration of informatization and industrialization. The development of the intelligent equipment industry is important for accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, improving production efficiency, technical level and product quality, reducing energy resource consumption, and realizing the intelligence and intelligentization of the manufacturing process. Green development is of great significance.

To give an example: In a mobile phone accessories manufacturing company, dozens of industrial robots produce mobile phone casings, protective films and other products, and there are basically no workers in the workshop. Industrial robots completely replace manual work, and the products produced by robots are of better quality. Enterprise orders have grown by 5-10% every year. Let's do some calculations. A worker's annual salary is about 65,000, and an industrial robot is 120,000. If we adopt a two-shift working system, we can recover the cost in one year.

Therefore, when labor costs are increasing year by year, product quality is becoming more and more stringent, and energy consumption is declining, the development of industrial robot technology has provided sufficient intellectual support and strength support for the improvement of the manufacturing industry. . Therefore, this major will be an important major promoted by the country and will also be the main direction for the development of various industries in the future.

03

Made in China 2025 has set three steps, which cannot be separated from the support of industrial robot technology

Let’s take a look at the three steps of Made in China 2025 , look at the layout of the country, and then judge the future direction of this profession.

The first step: strive to become a manufacturing power within ten years.

By 2020, industrialization will be basically achieved, the status of a major manufacturing country will be further consolidated, and the informatization level of the manufacturing industry will be greatly improved. Mastering a number of key core technologies in key areas, the competitiveness in advantageous areas has been further enhanced, and product quality has been greatly improved. Significant progress has been made in the digitalization, networking, and intelligence of the manufacturing industry. Energy consumption, material consumption and pollutant emissions per unit of industrial added value in key industries have dropped significantly.

By 2025, the overall quality of the manufacturing industry will be significantly improved, innovation capabilities will be significantly enhanced, labor productivity of all employees will be significantly improved, and the integration of the two informatizations (industrialization and informatization) will reach a new level. The energy consumption, material consumption and pollutant emissions per unit of industrial added value in key industries have reached the world's advanced level. A number of multinational companies and industrial clusters with strong international competitiveness have been formed, and their status in the global industrial division of labor and value chain has been significantly improved.

The second step: By 2035, my country's manufacturing industry as a whole will reach the middle level of the world's manufacturing powers. Innovation capabilities have been greatly improved, major breakthroughs have been made in key areas, overall competitiveness has been significantly enhanced, advantageous industries have formed global innovation leadership capabilities, and industrialization has been fully realized.

Step Three: When the People’s Republic of China celebrates its 100th anniversary, its status as a major manufacturing country will be further consolidated, and its comprehensive strength will enter the forefront of the world’s manufacturing powers. The main fields of manufacturing have innovation leadership capabilities and obvious competitive advantages, and have built a world-leading technology system and industrial system.

With the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the sales of industrial robots have entered explosive growth. It is expected that the demand for intelligent manufacturing and robotics professionals will reach 1 million in 2025, for industrial robot operation and maintenance, system installation and debugging, System integration. This is an emerging major with a huge talent gap. It is also a strategic industry for national development. It needs people and more talents.

Therefore, this major is definitely worth learning and will have a good future.

I graduated from a vocational high school and studied veterinary medicine (which was separate from animal husbandry at the time).

In fact, when choosing a major, I personally think it is best to choose something that interests you. There are not many opportunities to truly apply what you have learned. It would be nice to go back to the major I studied after going through some back-and-forth in the process of work.

After Huaye, I drifted in the city for eight years before retaking my major. I slowly went from getting a salary in a company to renting a small pig farm from the company and doing it myself

p>

There is no major that says the prospects are very good. You strive for opportunities through your own efforts. It is best to choose something that you are good at and give full play to your own advantages.

First of all, thank you for inviting us, Henan Chemical Technician College, to answer your questions.

Regarding the choice of major, many people don’t know how to choose one that suits them. I have the following suggestions for reference:

First, you must choose a child. What you like, or don't reject, is your child's best teacher. As long as you are interested, you will specialize in this technology and learn it well.

Second, it must be combined with the development needs and prospects of today's society. The current purpose of the country's vigorous development of vocational education is to provide more technical talents to the society. Vocational education is an important part of the national education system and human resources development. important component.

For example, the photography and videography technology of Henan Chemical Technician College, chemical engineering, machinery, and employment prospects are very good. Photography and videography technology is a school-enterprise cooperation. The photography and videography major is a film and television art major that is accepted by most undergraduates. Vocational colleges are favored. For example, after graduating from the 16th class, students from the 16th class were admitted directly to well-known universities in the province such as Jiaozuo University and Yellow River Water Conservancy University. They have realized their college dreams in another way.

I hope my answer will be helpful to you, and you are welcome to come to our Henan Chemical Technician College for consultation at any time.

I would suggest you learn to be a chef! Others are all just nonsense, but this is very real. I used to study as a tour guide, but now I almost regret it to death, and I hate the smell of the kitchen, but think about it, food is the most important thing for the people. No matter what, you have to eat, right? Have any chefs been laid off due to the epidemic?

Don’t know if you are a boy or a girl?

Boys’ majors include: auto repair, mold design and manufacturing, CNC technology, mechatronics, elevator maintenance, computer network, industrial robots, electronic technology, cooking, construction engineering, garden technology, and gardening fruit and vegetable planting. , veterinary medicine, aquaculture, interior design, logistics management, e-commerce, computerized accounting, etc.

Girls’ majors: computer network applications, graphic design, cooking and pastries, computerized accounting, clothing design, E-commerce, logistics management, nursing major, kindergarten teacher, secretarial, etc.

Each school has its own specialty majors. You can choose according to your own interests and expertise. Don’t follow the trend.

In fact, majors may not be important. If you must choose!

1. Take a look at your own home and try to combine them.

2. Every school has its advantageous majors, so you must choose the majors in which the school is strong. (For example, those with practical operations)

3. Going to higher education is a trend. Nowadays, most children from vocational high schools can pass the entrance examination to enter university, so ask whether this major is easy to get admitted.
