About pilots filling in their volunteers

I won't give you specific advice, because such advice may not be suitable for your situation. Just giving you general advice, I believe it will be good for you:

There are six things to do when choosing a major: (1) Don't read the literature, but understand the professional catalogue and connotation. (2) Don't just chase hot spots, but analyze the employment prospects according to people's needs. (3) Don't be wishful thinking, do what you can and leave room. (4) Don't talk about majors, and analyze the professional competitiveness of the school. (5) Don't choose a school instead of choosing a major, but grasp the way of major admission. (6) Don't regard it as a treasure, but take the essence from the rough, discard the false and keep the true, and be good at thinking.

When choosing a major, we should avoid several blind spots. First, don't cluster hot majors. Second, we should recognize the major itself, know what the chosen major does, what courses are available, and also know the future development. Third, don't neglect your own potential. How do you know you can't do it unless you try?

The National College Students' Information Consultation and Employment Guidance Center recently announced the latest employment situation of 20 1 1. The statistical results show that 12 undergraduate majors such as international economy and trade have the largest number of graduates, exceeding 50,000, among which English, computer science and technology, accounting and other majors have graduated more than 654.38+10,000.

This 12 major is international economy and trade, law, Chinese language and literature, English, art design, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, electronic information engineering, computer science and technology, civil engineering, clinical medicine, business administration and accounting.

Choosing the right major should be based on understanding, regardless of whether candidates have a clear professional tendency, they need to start with understanding the major. Parents of candidates have different perspectives from experts and scholars in teaching, scientific research and industry research in order to fill in their volunteers' understanding of their majors. Here, I would like to make some suggestions for your reference:

Understand the connotation of specialty

Recently, the Ministry of Education published the Catalogue of Undergraduate Majors in Colleges and Universities (Revised Second Draft). From this catalogue, candidates and parents can initially understand that there are 12 disciplines in our country: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agronomy, medicine, management and art, and there are 469 majors under each discipline category. In fact, the undergraduate majors that parents of candidates need to know are included in this 469. Before understanding the connotation of majors, we should first fully understand the major categories, which majors are in each major category, and grasp the overall situation of majors, so as to have a rational understanding of the selected majors.

Parents of candidates should deeply understand the connotation of each major on the basis of understanding the major categories. They shouldn't just speculate about their major from its literal meaning, nor can they hear it from hearsay. The so-called professional connotation refers to the professional training objectives, professional training requirements, main courses, employment and research fields. (You can understand the professional connotation through the college enrollment brochure and the professional introduction on the school enrollment website. )

In the past, when candidates and parents filled in their volunteers, they often reported their volunteers incorrectly because they didn't understand the professional connotation and confused the professional name. Some candidates like to choose those majors with beautiful names and fashionable styles, but after entering the university, they are not interested in the chosen majors and are tired of learning.

Each university has enrollment majors ranging from a dozen to dozens each year. The names of many majors do not reflect the nature of the major and the future career. For example, the names of "computer science and technology" and "information and computer science" are similar, but one belongs to engineering and electrical information, and the other belongs to science and mathematics. Whether it is a professional course or a future employment field, it is very different. There are also some professional names, which are difficult to understand literally. For example, chemical engineering and industrial bioengineering belong to chemistry and pharmacy, and chemical biology belongs to chemistry. In addition, some majors focus on employment and cultivate skilled talents; Some majors focus on basic theories and are suitable for further study. All these require parents of candidates to have a good attitude.

Therefore, understanding the professional connotation can avoid or reduce the regret and helplessness brought by taking it for granted that you want to fill in the volunteers.

Curriculum

Usually, many colleges and universities offer a certain specialty. For example, there are more than 500 colleges and universities offering computer majors in China, and the curriculum of each college is different, but these colleges and universities will offer the main courses of this major. Before choosing a major, parents of candidates should first understand the curriculum of the major, so as to determine the major according to the academic performance and ability of candidates.

Because the core courses of many majors correspond to various disciplines in middle schools, for example, students who are good at mathematics can choose mathematics and applied mathematics, economics, finance, information and computing science; Students with good grades in physics and mathematics can choose mechanical, electrical information, civil engineering, aerospace and other majors; Students who like chemistry can choose materials science, chemical engineering and technology, food science and other majors; Students interested in biology can choose biotechnology, bioengineering, agronomy and medicine; Students who like literature and foreign languages can choose literature, journalism and foreign language education.

In addition to professional courses, parents of candidates should also know the study years of various majors. Although most undergraduate majors are four-year, there are also a few majors with different study years. For example, medical majors generally need to study for 5-8 years, so you can be fully prepared when applying for the exam.

Professional employment direction

The university education in China is basically a professional education, and the major I applied for when I volunteered for the college entrance examination can be said to be the first choice for my future career development. After graduating from college, finding a counterpart job can not only apply the knowledge of the university, but also adapt to the workplace life more quickly. Nowadays, many college students change careers after graduation, often because they didn't know enough when they chose their major. Candidates and parents must carefully understand what they can do after graduation and what industries they can develop in when choosing a major.

It is worth noting that the content of professional work is often quite different from that of professional study. Like learning professional content does not mean like professional work content. For example, civil engineering majors mainly study mechanical knowledge and mathematical knowledge, and have certain requirements for geometric drawing ability. If a boy is good at these projects in high school, learning civil engineering is naturally very handy. However, if this student doesn't like going to housing construction sites and road and bridge construction sites frequently, then he may not like to be a civil engineer in the future.

Choose the major that candidates are interested in when filling in the volunteers, and make clear the employment direction of the major. Then, you can undoubtedly give full play to your talents in the future study and work of candidates.

Employment situation of graduates

Facing the severe employment situation of college graduates in recent years, what major employment prospects are good has become the guidance for many students and parents to fill in their volunteers.

The social demand for graduates of different majors is unbalanced. The supply and demand of these majors are different in different schools and different educational levels, and change with time. Then, candidates and parents should have a forward-looking understanding of the social needs of a major, and also focus on the employment rate and employment quality of a major in the college they want to apply for.

Candidates and parents must understand that the seemingly popular professional employment rate is not necessarily high. According to a survey, the top ten majors of 20 10 undergraduates are: energy and power, chemistry, machinery, chemical industry and pharmacy, civil engineering, electrical information, engineering mechanics, materials science, management science and engineering, and business administration. Most of these ten majors with high employment rates are unpopular majors when they apply for the exam. More than 90% of some majors are transfer students. However, the popular majors when applying for the exam have become embarrassed when they are employed, such as law, medicine, international trade, computer science and technology, biotechnology, environmental engineering, bioengineering and so on. Ten majors with high employment rate often have great learning difficulties, hard working environment and low sense of success, which reduces the number of people entering these majors and naturally increases the employment rate.

Candidates and parents should know the employment situation of their chosen major from the following aspects: the professional employment situation announced by the Ministry of Education, the relevant data of social survey institutions, the employment situation of colleges and universities where their majors are located, the statistical data of professional industries, the supply and demand of recruitment websites, etc.

Opening trend of colleges and universities

After choosing a favorite major, candidates and parents should also know which schools offer this major and whether they enroll students in your province (city, district). In addition, even in the same major, there are great differences in the research direction of cultivating characteristics and advantages among colleges and universities.
