What are the prospects of studying mining in Australia?

Q: I plan to send my son abroad to study in Australia. I would like to ask about the prospects of the mining major at the University of Western Australia. Answer: Western Australia is rich in mineral resources. The world's largest mining companies have branches there. Most students majoring in mining stay to work there after graduation. There are relatively large employment opportunities there. In addition to the mining major at the University of Western Australia, the mining majors at the University of New South Wales and Curtin University of Technology are relatively popular. 98% of the students studying these majors are Australians, with very few Asians. This may be related to our concept. We think that if you major in mining, you will go mining in the future. Which parent would be willing to let their children go mining? ! Actually no, there was a Chinese classmate who was studying mining in Australia. He was hired in advance by BHP Billiton (BHP, the world's second largest mining group company) before he graduated. The starting salary was 500,000 yuan per year. There are relatively few students studying this major because not everyone will like the future work environment. For example, although they are engineers, they may need to work in mining areas for several months out of the year. Especially Asians, because there are fewer people doing this kind of work, they feel lonely. However, if this major is your interest and you plan to study in Australia, experts suggest that you should lay a solid foundation in high school. The mining major has relatively high requirements for physics and mathematics.
