What should I do if I study a major I don't like in college?
Some freshmen find that they don't like their major at all. Coupled with the poor employment situation of individual majors in recent years, these friends are deeply puzzled. What should I do if I find that I didn't like what I learned after studying deeply?

Ideological aspect

1, put down your thoughts and burdens

Only by letting go of the ideological burden can we calm ourselves down, face up to all kinds of disappointments in life, and then find countermeasures and methods to solve problems. Only by letting go of the ideological burden can we bravely face the professional confusion with a broader mind. Psychologists tell us that recognizing and accepting our own bad situation is the first step to solve the problem. Freshmen who have this kind of professional confusion may wish to calm down and analyze it carefully to see if they can change their professional status, and if so, fight for it; If not, face it bravely, analyze it and solve it.

2, change the wrong idea

We must give up the idea of ultimately relying on majors and regard professional learning as a tool and means of personal growth. Professional study in university can't be the only magic weapon to win the world in the future, but all kinds of practical skills and comprehensive quality are the precious wealth that you can benefit from for life. In fact, modern university education pays special attention to the cultivation of students' practical skills and comprehensive quality, which is not unique to a certain major, and the cultivation of many abilities and qualities is not just started from a certain enterprise. Knowing this, we won't feel the only dependence on our major. Just because our major is not suitable for us does not mean the end of our personal destiny.

3. Cultivate interest in learning

With the gradual deepening of professional study, we have a further understanding and understanding of our major, and our interest in learning will gradually be cultivated. Some friends are trapped in professional confusion. They are careless in their professional studies and give up on themselves. Finally, I had to drop out of school, wasting a great learning opportunity. This is really not a wise move.

Behavioral aspect

The first move: changing departments-"job-hopping" in universities.

Freshmen feel that their major is not suitable for them after entering the university, so they can change their major and their favorite major according to the specific situation. However, it should be noted that there are conditions for freshmen to change majors. For example, whether the score meets the requirements of changing majors, some majors have physical requirements, and some majors cannot be changed. Therefore, when you change your major, you should consider it clearly and understand the regulations of the school.

The second move: minor-become a compound talent.

The names of "minor" or "minor" in universities are different, but the general situation is basically the same. Generally speaking, after three or four semesters of this major, you will apply for a second major within the time specified by the Academic Affairs Office. Colleges and universities have certain qualification requirements for students who apply for minor, such as having to study across departments, having reached a certain standard since entering school, and having not been given administrative warning.

Students who have completed the required credits of minor major when they graduate from the major can be awarded the certificate of completion of minor major.

The third measure: textual research-increase the "stepping stone" of job hunting.

Taking some professional certificates during college is also a good way to improve your gold content. At present, there are many kinds of certificates in society, among which the CPA exam, the national unified judicial exam and the computer grade exam are more popular in universities. The national unified judicial examination is more difficult. In 2002, the first exam attracted more than 360,000 participants, and the passing rate was only 7%.

In addition, the language proficiency certificate is also an important "stepping stone" for job hunting. In addition to the familiar CET-4 and CET-6, TOEIC, intermediate and advanced interpretation certificate and BEC (Cambridge Business English) exam are very popular among students.

The fourth measure: social practice-enriching social experience.

Besides taking various exams, it is also an effective and practical method to actively participate in social practice and increase one's social experience.

Now, as long as you pay attention to various recruitment notices, you will find that almost all positions require work experience. The human resources directors of many famous enterprises also said that they pay more attention to the social practice ability of candidates. Therefore, it is very necessary to make up for the lack of professional knowledge with practice and replace the lack of work experience with practice.

In addition to the roads mentioned above, freshmen still have many ways to explore, such as postgraduate entrance examination and studying abroad. But it must be reminded that it takes a lot of time to take these roads, and students must choose carefully so as not to delay their "career".
