How to choose a major without any hobbies?

Recently, I found that many people in the background asked me about looking for a job. Basically, these questions are:

How about consulting in real estate and engineering? What about the law?

Shang Nan, how about going to the four major accounting firms to take CPA exams?

I am engaged in the engineering plastics industry, providing plastic particles to auto parts factories. This company is a trading company. Is there any way to make money?

If these questions were put 20 years ago, they might really be worth analyzing and answering. There is no point in playing it now.

01Before 2004, the salary of white-collar workers in China had a strong advantage over the house price. To put it bluntly, work can be a career, and the purchasing power of wages is really strong.

I remember that in my junior year in 2003, I was curious to see the campus job fair of Andersen Accounting Firm, one of the "top five" (Andersen Accounting Firm was merged by PricewaterhouseCoopers because of the Enron audit fraud incident in the United States). After that, there were no "big five" rivers and lakes, only "big four"

People who met foreign companies for the first time at that time were instantly conquered by their foreign style, self-confidence and temperament. At the same time, I was conquered by the salary of foreign companies.

The campus recruiter of Anderson Business School is a person who looks a bit like Yu Shiwei. He proudly told us that Andersen's monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, and he is paid 14 times a year, and the daily travel allowance is 150. At that time, the average house price in Chongqing was 2300 yuan. Beijing house price 10000 yuan.

Later, everyone can feel it, and I can feel a strong sense of disillusionment and distrust of my career.

I may not be able to write this article "You can't win this game without upgrading".

With rising house prices and fierce competition, the company has become extremely smart. Many companies can achieve no salary increase or slight increase for many years.

So, today, I am silent about any career choice.

A high-paying, awesome and high-level job, not to mention a job that diaosi can't do, can't get in, and many students of Tsinghua Peking University can't get in.

Most of the rest of the work, in my opinion, is just a living guarantee.

So ask me how I am and if I have a future. I only reply, a guarantee of life. Ask again and again, simple reply, no future, don't ask.

Work is just work, and this word cannot trust the hopes of most people.

The reason behind this is that China has developed too fast, and it took less than 40 years to walk the path of others for hundreds of years.

In the past, white-collar workers were a very tall word, especially employees of foreign-funded enterprises. In college oral English class, the teacher asked us what our future dreams were. Many students said that they wanted to be a white-collar worker with a monthly income of 5,000 yuan (5,000 yuan was the biggest salary we could imagine at that time, and only first-class foreign companies could afford it).

Now white-collar workers have become the main force to escape from Beishangguang.

However, many people are willing to provide career forecasts. There is a kind of career prediction, which I call "carving a boat for the sword in the workplace" and "forced queuing".

For example, "almost half of the CEOs come from finance or sales", or "half of the billionaires in China have no high education"

I used to like to use this kind of induction to find similarities with successful people. I hope I can be as successful as others.

In fact, they are just deceiving themselves.

I have done sales, Ma Yun also did sales at the beginning, and Xu Jiayin also did sales. I didn't even reach one millionth of others' achievements.

Ren and I are alumni of Chongqing University. What does this mean?

"No matter how lucky they are, they can succeed. * * * Similarity: They were all pioneers, and they did what no one did and no one dared to do at that time. Instead of looking for someone to predict whether this can be done. "

Everyone says that Wang Shi and Wang Jianlin are the backstage of the military compound, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in the military compound with them at the same time. Why are they making such a fuss? Where are the rest?

Or because they are pioneers, crossing the river by feeling the stones, groping for their own, and making their way.

If you are an employee of Ali or Huawei, do you ask me if I have a future in these companies? Who can say clearly that your work was created by others? Whether you have a future is not up to me as an outsider, but up to your boss and the boss's boss.

Therefore, for us ordinary people, it is useless to ask others to predict what industry is best for you.

The safest and cheapest choice for ordinary people to survive in this society is actually to find a job.

My father retired, but he can still find a job with a monthly income of 2000 yuan. Including retirement salary, I am not lazy in a small city.

As long as you are willing to do it, there is a job in the third-and fourth-tier cities to support you.

It is easy to find a job.

"But it's hard to get rich. Getting rich is naturally bound up with adventure, taking risks and pressure, while birth is incompatible with security. He made money because he took risks and paid the price. "

It seems easy for a businessman to make money. He must have paid a lot of tuition before. Why pay tuition and take risks? Doing business is faced with uncertainties. It costs a lot of money to make an advertisement. Who knows how many customers you can convert? It costs a lot of money to decorate a restaurant Who knows if anyone wants to eat? Every step is uncertain, and you need to spend money, energy and time to do tests and experiments to verify your business philosophy.

A businessman has a quality that many people don't have, that is, he dares to challenge the unknown.

Work is actually doing what is known, defining the scope and framework, including sales work known for its flexibility. Even in a startup company, the work done is decomposed by the boss, which can be determined, quantified and qualitative. This is true both inside and outside the system.

Therefore, whether the career you choose has a future depends on whether you prefer the known or the unknown. If you like to challenge the unknown, you will start a business, and if you like the known stability, you will choose to work hard in the workplace.

Being honest with yourself is more useful than listening to others do 10 thousand industry analysis.
