When it comes to choosing a major, I think I have a great say. Before I went to college, because I didn't know what each major did, I simply ranked the admission scores of each major in each school from high to low, selected a few, and finally got a 985 (not to mention the specific school). The specialty is called resource exploration engineering, which can be simply understood as the general term for geologists looking for minerals and oil. Yes, people like the picture below!

In line with the lofty ideal of being a "educated coal boss" in the future, I reported my university with great excitement. At the beginning of my freshman year, the teachers proudly told us that our professional employment rate is 111%, and it is too difficult for you to get unemployed! At that time, I thought that although it was a hard industry recognized since the 1981 s, at least there was food to eat, so I didn't consider changing majors.

The time jumped to the beginning of junior year, and the head teacher dragged us to a classroom and told us earnestly, "The employment is not very prosperous, so we may have to prepare ourselves psychologically.". At this time, I can't change my major, and I can only choose one way to go to black.

The explanation given to us at that time roughly means: "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Our country began to protect the environment and restrict the exploitation of resources.

In my senior year, as the teacher said, there were almost no jobs related to my major. However, because I only wanted to get a job after graduation, my academic performance was not in the forefront, and I couldn't get the qualification for insurance research. After careful consideration, I had to choose one's postgraduate entrance examination.

after experiencing the helplessness of finding a job in my senior year, I deeply realized the importance of major for employment, and finally decided to take an inter-major examination and study, and finally applied for a South 985 (you know the school), with the major direction of geographic information system, that is, the programming direction related to major. Inspirational to become a big shot in Cheng Xuyuan upon graduation.

After a period of postgraduate entrance examination, I got good grades and entered the target school. But that's not the point. The point is that I'm a master now, and I've got a good job, but I'm not a programmer in a company, but a Selected Graduates. Yes! You are right. I once wanted to be a literate coal boss, but after the dream of a programmer boss was shattered, I became a Selected Graduates.

end of story. To sum up, what I actually want to say is that when choosing a major, don't blindly pursue hot spots or current interests. After all, life is still long, and every industry may be at a low point after one or two decades. We should pay more attention to our own interests.
