The most unpopular major in Peking University recruits only one person at most every year, and only six graduates so far. What do you think?

Every year's campus recruitment is the best way to distinguish popular majors from unpopular majors. It is generally believed that popular majors have a wide range of employment, many companies to choose from and great prospects, while unpopular majors are just the opposite. Therefore, many students majoring in unpopular majors are particularly at a loss at this time, and the degree of confusion about the future is much higher than those who choose more majors. However, the unpopular major does not mean that there is no market, and that it is not widely used in the job market does not mean that the major is useless. On the contrary, gold always shines. There is a major in Peking University, which is so unpopular that even the students of Peking University don't know it. However, this major is of great significance to nature and human beings.

This major is paleontology major. It is estimated that many people will think that this major is related to history when they hear the name in the first grade. However, this is not the case. This major involves biology, earth science and natural environment research, etc., and belongs to a highly comprehensive interdisciplinary subject. Generally speaking, students majoring in this major should be able to run in the wild, read ancient books, do research and write reports, and they also have very high requirements for their overall quality.

However, such a paleontology major, which requires high standards and covers a wide range of knowledge, has only graduated six people since its establishment, and the number of graduates is not even a fraction of other majors. Since its establishment, this major can only recruit one student at most every year. This is not only the only major in Peking University that enrolls one student, but also the paleontology major in Peking University, which is a special case in China.

There are many reasons that lead to the situation that paleontology is only transmitted in one vein. First of all, candidates' knowledge of majors is not enough. Indeed, college entrance examination graduates rarely have access to specific information about majors because they are immersed in the sea of questions all the year round, and their knowledge of majors is not enough. Many of them follow the crowd and choose according to the employment situation in the market. Secondly, the practical requirements of this major are very high, which means that students studying in this major should study in the field all the year round, which also requires high physical quality.

However, although this major is thin, there is only one person in graduation photo every year, but this does not mean that this major is meaningless. On the contrary, with the deepening of human exploration and research on the earth's environment and life development, many scientific research institutions are eager to recruit students of this major. Because the number of students is too small, every major student is also regarded as a "national treasure", and every class enjoys one-on-one teaching by teachers. Such a thing is also a great adventure in life.

As the least popular major in Peking University, the students who came to enroll at the beginning also came with interest. In particular, one of the students named Xue Yifan has a strong interest in paleontology. After studying in Peking University, she did not choose to work in any scientific research institution. On the contrary, she chose to continue her studies in related disciplines. From Peking University to the United States, from undergraduate to doctoral, Xue Yifan walked out of her own miracle on this road with her love. She constantly attacked the peak of human knowledge and then used what she gained to benefit mankind.
