Editor's note: As the saying goes, "Seven points in the exam, three points in the report." Recently, the scores of college entrance examinations in various places have been announced, and has become a voluntary application for . The task that parents and candidates are most focused on at the moment is filling out the university application form, which is not only related to the candidates’ learning direction and living environment in the next four years, but also to their employment after graduation. What are the key points that need to be paid attention to when filling in the volunteer application form?

To this end, talked to well-known scholar Professor Chu Yin about the possible growth of , and gave answers to several major volunteer application questions that parents and candidates are most concerned about.

Possibility of growth: How to prioritize city, university, and major choices?

Chu Yin: There are many changes in our volunteer application form, which should be analyzed according to the specific situation.

If it is a major with a relatively high threshold, you should still focus on your major when applying, especially in colleges such as 985 and 211.

For science and engineering majors, majors are very important. Major rankings and professional advancement paths are very important.

However, For some liberal arts and broad-based majors, choosing a school is often more important.

As for second-level colleges, or general first-level colleges and universities other than 985 and 211, because employment is the main choice for most students, and there are many college students now, so we must consider internships after graduation, and consider colleges. If you want to find employment locally on campus, then choosing an urban area is definitely the most important thing.

Possibility of growing up: What should I do if my parents object to my favorite major? When candidates and parents have different opinions, who should they listen to?

Chu Yin: Generally speaking, parents choose majors for their children. That is, if the child is very outstanding and the parents are average, then respect the child and don't cause trouble for the child. If parents feel that they are indeed stronger than their children, they can provide some guidance, but they must follow several principles.

1. Don’t force your child to learn something he absolutely doesn’t want to learn. Children have the right to veto, and parents have the right to make suggestions. is a better model. 2. If your child has a major that they particularly like, ask the child if they really understand this major. is best able to help the child find out what this major is like.

Possibility of growth: Which majors are you more optimistic about? What are the prospects for popular cutting-edge majors?

Chu Yin: In fact, I personally think that artificial intelligence , big data, microelectronics, integrated circuit design , applied mathematics, etc. will still be a better major in the next few years.

Let me talk about science and engineering first. Nursing and dentistry are actually quite good. The dental major has always been good, but nursing major may be tiring for some people. In fact, as China gradually enters an aging society, the nursing major market There will be a relatively medium to long-term improvement in the rate of return and application.

As for liberal arts, generally speaking, is more economical and may be better.

Possibility of growth: What pitfalls are easy for parents and candidates to step into when filling in the application form?

Chu Yin: There are several pitfalls in the process of filling out the volunteer application. The first one is not understanding the name of the major. This is the most common mistake. The second is the so-called choice of university. He often adopts the so-called major major group to recruit students. In the major major group, there are some unpopular and popular ones. This is a common thing. You think you are studying electronics, but in the end you are studying electrical. What do you think? The first course is about automation, and the last course is about machinery, so you have to pay attention to this pitfall.

Possibility of growth: Is it important to choose professional interests?

Chu Yin: Interest is actually not very important in my opinion, because most people are mainly employment-oriented for the purpose of going to college. There are endless possibilities in life, but professional choice is to provide you with possibilities.

Possibility of growth: What do you think of the problems of "devaluation of academic qualifications" and "difficulty in finding a job"?

Chu Yin: It is normal for academic qualifications to depreciate and find employment to be difficult. Rather than “devaluation of academic qualifications”, it is better to call it differentiation of academic qualifications; rather than “employment difficulties”, it is better to call it a change in employment concepts. Because now the connotation of college students is also expanding very quickly, with more than 10 million people, but really good universities and good majors are still okay. Another phenomenon is that we have less stable employment in the traditional sense, but more flexible employment.
