Since ancient times, people have been divided into three classes, not because of appearance, but because of the inequality of social resources occupied by people, such as social status, rights, knowledge and technology, and wealth. No one can dominate anyone, unless, of course, someone wants to be dominated. In fact, everyone can get resources that they didn't have through their own struggle. Perhaps people with more resources have to make more efforts, but this does not mean that society is doomed.

In many inequalities, rights and status may be unchangeable, but knowledge, technology and wealth can be realized through their own efforts.

A fledgling graduate is already complacent when he can get a monthly salary of 2000. After 3-5 years of experience, it is easy to become an indispensable elite in an enterprise or field, with a monthly salary of 20 thousand. Therefore, the monthly salary of 2,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan seems to have a big gap, but it does not mean that this gap is lifelong and cannot be changed. So, what caused the gap between the monthly salary of 2000 and 20000? What are the fundamental factors that affect these income differences?

Qian Shuojun believes that this gap depends not only on personal performance, but also on the substitutability of posts, the development direction of science and technology and market demand.

The higher the position substitutability, the lower the salary.

This situation is most obvious among manual workers or junior workers, such as sanitation workers, cleaning workers, factory assembly line workers, office clerks and so on. Because of the high substitutability of occupations, their wages are often not high.

Does that mean that people who are engaged in civilian posts are of little use in society, and only those with engineering backgrounds are useful? According to the statistics of authoritative organizations, liberal arts graduates are generally engaged in operations, marketing and sales. The above positions have a common feature, that is, they can acquire, collect and integrate a large number of social resources. After several years of accumulation, the resources they have are very valuable to any company, so you are irreplaceable in this position, and you are the talent that everyone is vying for.

On the other hand, many engineering students, because they have mastered a trade when they graduate, can easily find a good job when they graduate, at least the salary is generally higher than that of the fresh liberal arts students, and then continue to do it. 10 years later, although the individual has grown to a certain extent, careful observation will reveal that there seems to be no difference between what he is doing now and what he did in the first year. Experience and connections seem to remain at the beginning, which is fatal.

Citing the examples of liberal arts students and engineering students, I don't mean that liberal arts students are better than science students in the workplace and have more development prospects, but I want to tell you through this situation that judging the substitutability of a position is not based on the stock of the position, nor on its starting salary, but on the increment of the position and whether it is irreplaceable in the future. So how to judge whether the future of this position is irreplaceable is analyzed from the development direction of science and technology and market demand.

The development direction of science and technology and market demand are decisive factors.

It should be noted that the development direction of science and technology proposed by Qian Shuojun here is not the content of science and technology. The development direction of science and technology and market demand are important factors to consider when you move towards a career with a monthly salary of 20 thousand.

The progress of mankind is inseparable from the innovation and development of science and technology. The development of science and technology has enabled human beings to gain strength, wealth and convenient life. Human beings are also experimenters and admirers of scientific and technological achievements. The development of any science and technology must be based on the theoretical starting point that can serve human daily life. Let's take a look at the three major changes in human scientific and technological progress, and I believe everyone's understanding will be more thorough:

In the first industrial revolution, the development direction of science and technology was industry and industry. At that time, if you can open a factory, you may become an envied billionaire.

In the second industrial revolution, the development direction of science and technology was electricity, so various electrical products emerged one after another, from household appliances to mobile phones, and mobile phones iterated from Nokia to Apple. If they can't keep up with technological innovation, they may be eliminated by the market.

The third industrial revolution, that is, the current information technology Internet era, based on the development of information technology Internet, IT technology, UI design, animation, games, 3D, VR technology is in a period of rapid development. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on how you choose.

I don't know if you have found out that the above three technological revolutions all have one thing in common! That is, whenever any new technology appears, the most important point that determines whether it can become the trend of the times is that the final result of its development will inevitably cover all aspects of people's lives!

So what is closely related to people's lives now? IT is the Internet, IT technology, UI design, animation, games and even VR technology mentioned by Qian Shuojun above.

For example, on Valentine's Day on Qixi, Qian Shuojun and a friend went to a popular restaurant to eat hot pot. It was only five o'clock when they went, but when I got the number, I found that there were already more than 50 numbers in front, but there were not many people waiting outside the store. It turns out that everyone else got the number in advance on the exclusive APP of the hot pot restaurant, and this APP will automatically remind the guests when it approaches the number. So they just need to sit in the office and rank their numbers with the APP before going to work, and then go shopping for hot pot before us. This is the convenient life brought by the ranking APP, and there are many other APPs that make life more convenient, such as shopping APP, taxi APP, ticket purchasing app, navigation app and so on. So people who will develop these apps will naturally become hot talents in the market!

To sum up, when choosing industries, we should choose the fields of science and technology that represent the development of the times and industries with large market demand; When choosing a position, we should pay attention to incremental selection. The longer we do it, the more irreplaceable it is. There are actually many occupations that meet these two requirements, and IT technology is one of the most popular occupations.
