Employment prospects:
With the increasingly busy economic, trade and social activities in China's cities, urban traffic has experienced unprecedented rapid growth, and traditional road traffic facilities can no longer meet the needs of modern society. Therefore, the transportation major also has certain limitations in employment. Without railways, highways and subways, there is basically no counterpart work.
Employment mainly depends on your hobbies, personality characteristics and other factors. If you are not satisfied with the present situation and want to travel, don't enter these units; If you are more traditional and think that ordinary life is enough, you can consider entering the corresponding transportation department, enterprise or being a teacher at school. Although the employment scope of transportation specialty is very limited, it can be expanded from logistics, warehousing, supply chain management and so on.
