Most of the courses learned by weapon specialty and mechanical engineering and automation specialty are the same, so many mechanical specialty students go to the research group of weapons at the graduate stage. As for employment, you don't have to go to western research institutes, you can also go to enterprises. As far as girls are concerned, there are definitely few weapons majors. Even for mechanical majors, the ratio of male to female is about 8: 1 to 10: 1. In terms of employment, girls majoring in machinery will be better than those majoring in weapons, but they still have fewer opportunities than boys. In the School of Mechanical Engineering, there are more female students majoring in industrial design and art design, but they do not belong to engineering. In addition, there are relatively more girls majoring in measurement and control and industrial engineering, and their jobs are ok. Speaking of salary, this is not accurate. According to the employment situation of our class at that time (I majored in mechanical engineering and automation), the starting salary of undergraduate graduates is generally 2-3 thousand, and the starting salary of girls is the highest at 5K (at that time, the starting salary of our class was the highest), and the lowest is less than 2K, mainly depending on the individual, but generally it will rise after two or three years of work.
