This phenomenon is very common, especially in recent years. Basically, 9 people in 10 don't work in this major, but try their best to choose other industries across majors, starting from scratch.
Actually, from another angle, it's completely different. Even the students of this major enter the work unit from scratch after graduation from university. The knowledge learned in college can't really be applied to the actual 30%, which is no different from starting from scratch. On the other hand, in fact, these college students are not willing to change careers, and more are helpless to change careers.
Reasons why college students don't engage in this major
First, I don't like this major.
This is the most intuitive reason. If you don't like it, it will be difficult to concentrate on your study and research, let alone work in this field in the future. If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's hard to change Some people will say, since you don't like it, why do you choose this major?
This is about volunteering for the college entrance examination. Some newly graduated high school students don't know their major, let alone their employment prospects, or even what their major is, let alone choosing a major. And these students often don't know what their major is, what they will do in the future, or the content of their major, so they won't know until they go to college.
In fact, I regretted it at that time, but I didn't have the courage to resume classes. Plus other reasons, barely supported until graduation. Of course, it is impossible to engage in this industry that you don't like after graduation.
Second, my major is unpopular.
I personally have a deep understanding of this. I really can't apply for an unpopular major, no matter when. When I graduated from high school, I signed up for an unpopular major. Considering that the competition of popular majors is too great, the future employment situation will not be too good, so I reported the unpopular major.
The first year of college was ok, but by the year of graduation, the industry had plummeted and employment was difficult. That's still a very professional major, and I can only change careers in the end. Therefore, if you want to persuade students who want to apply for unpopular majors, you must be cautious.
Third, the professional competitiveness is relatively large.
Then there is a highly competitive major, and most students will choose to change careers. There are still a few really outstanding people, most of whom are ordinary people. These people obviously have no advantage in the competition. In order to get a better job, they can only choose to change careers. Everything starts from scratch, so there is no essential difference between students changing careers. Just need to pay attention, there is no way to change careers for a professional major.
For example, you are not a medical major, but it is absolutely impossible for you to become a medical major. However, you can go to some health centers or rehabilitation physiotherapy centers and do some work unrelated to the medical profession.
