If you want to be a graduate student, what major should you study? It seems that most people choose to study for graduate students in their original undergraduate courses. However, I think such a choice may not be correct. Personally, I believe I wouldn't have gone to graduate school if I had been recommended to study, because although I don't hate my undergraduate major, I don't like it at all, and the prospect of distribution is not very good. I must study my favorite major and have a bright future. If I am admitted to graduate school, I still have no idea about my future. Facing the situation that it is difficult to find a job is just a delay. In the end, you can't escape this fate. You must face the reality.
As the saying goes, "men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong husband." In my opinion, whether marriage and career are ideal has a great influence on both male and female compatriots, and generally speaking, whether career is ideal may be more important, because unsatisfactory work will also affect marital status. In an outdated industry, your hard work is far less than the salary of ordinary people in emerging industries. Don't listen to counselors who love education and say how good their professional prospects are. Listen to the views of seniors or graduating brothers and sisters in the same major, and their views will have real reference value. The reality is cruel and will wake many people up. It is certainly good for you to wake up early, so please inquire about your major direction and distribution as soon as possible.
Because everyone's situation is different, I can't say which major I must study, but if you are particularly interested in something, go and study it. That major is the best choice. If you are not interested in anything, then I think you'd better choose a well-distributed major that you like relatively. If you don't know what you like at all, the first thing to do is to analyze your strengths and weaknesses and personality characteristics, and then choose those majors that can give full play to your strengths rather than weaknesses. For example, if you like dealing with people, chatting, partying and not staying in the same room, then you may be suitable to be a lawyer. Management or sales work should not be technical or R&D work. Of course, if you just like and adapt to technology, you'd better do it.
Because you don't live in a vacuum, your mood is often influenced by the opinions and situations of people around you. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to consider the prospects of social development and career development when choosing a major.
At present, if you are not keen on your major, or even extremely disgusted, I still advise you not to go to graduate school, although it is relatively easy for you to get into this major. You'd better associate graduate school with your career ideal, and don't go to graduate school for the sake of graduate school. If graduate school can't be closer to your career ideal, then your three years will be nearly wasted. If you want to transfer to a career that you think is more promising in the future or you like better, it is almost as difficult as when you graduate from undergraduate course, so it is better to find your favorite major as soon as possible, prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as possible, and get into the ideal major that you want to study, even if the grade of the school is lowered.
If it is more important to study well in a university than to study well in a major, then I think, for most people, in the postgraduate stage, the quality of a major may be more important than the reputation of the university, because it directly affects what kind of industry you can enter, and the quality of the industry is extremely important. In a declining industry, it is not only difficult to get respect from others, but also the income is usually very different from that of a good industry, so we must pay attention to it!
I know it is not easy to take an examination of an interdisciplinary subject between science and engineering, but it is entirely possible if you work hard earlier. I used to study engineering in Zhejiang University, not electronics, but one of my classmates was admitted to the Department of Telecommunications and the other was admitted to the Department of Computer Science. They were admitted because they minored in these two majors in the university and prepared carefully, so they did well in the exam.
If you find it difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination for science and engineering, then I suggest you consider transferring to law, economic management and news advertising because the professional barriers of these majors are very low. You don't have to worry that you can't keep up after the exam. I haven't heard that science and engineering students can't keep up with graduate students. Generally, they can learn well, because these professional things are easier than those of science and engineering books. Not only that, once you are admitted to these graduate students, you will have a multi-disciplinary knowledge background, which will give you an advantage in job hunting and practical work.
However, there are also very popular and relatively less popular majors in these categories, such as economic law, international economic law and civil law, followed by less popular majors such as criminal law, administrative law, constitutional law and jurisprudence, and master of laws with a large enrollment. Economics has popular majors, such as finance, currency and banking, followed by finance and international trade, as well as quantitative economics, technical economics, political economics and industrial economics. Management includes popular accounting, business administration, management science and engineering, as well as MBA with more enrollment (work experience is required).
In these majors, you should make a correct judgment according to your own situation, because taking a popular major will have a good future and the risk is relatively greater, because the competition for a good major is fierce. In most cases, as long as you can get into a good major, you can consider it even if the school is worse. Of course, if you think it's too risky to take the hottest major in this major, then you don't have to take the hottest major in this major. You can consider this kind of relatively unpopular major, which has little risk and a much better prospect after graduation than reading the original major. As long as you enter this major, you can learn anything you want to read most during your graduate studies. For example, many people really want to take the finance major, but they are not very confident about taking the finance major graduate. Then you can consider taking the relatively confident quantitative economics, technical economics, political economics or industrial economics first, and then concentrate on learning finance completely during the postgraduate entrance examination. You can also enter the financial and securities industry when you graduate. The same is true of other majors. Take the law as an example. If you really want to do legal work, but think it is too difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination for economic law, then you can consider taking the postgraduate entrance examination for jurisprudence and other majors or taking the Master of Laws directly. Then you can read more books on economic law and send out several papers on economic law during your graduate study. There is little difference between the same category and graduate students, and entering a large enterprise is the most important. Of course, if you are very confident in yourself, it is entirely possible to get into these popular majors by asking more questions and reviewing fully. There are countless examples of being ranked first in this major in cross-professional examinations.
When choosing a major, you should decide according to your own goals and actual situation. I have a fellow villager and a high school classmate, both of whom graduated from a famous university in Shanghai, but both of them studied poorly in engineering majors, and their income after work is very low, so they want to change their majors. Without resigning and limited review time, I applied for the international finance and finance majors of Fudan University and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. As a result, I failed the exam twice and lost confidence. In the end, I can only stay in the original unit. I think their decision made a serious mistake. Their idea of changing majors is right, but they should also combine their own actual situation and not always think about it once and for all. They are not the kind of people who always feel special. For them, in fact, as long as they can be admitted to graduate students of economics and management, they can not only change their jobs, but also have much better employment prospects than before. Even if you really want to enter the financial field, you can rely on finance after you are admitted to graduate school.
I know that many students studying science and engineering are biased against these "liberal arts" majors and think that they have nothing. This is all wet! Didn't you learn the law deeply? Is there no deep knowledge in economic management? Isn't news advertising deeply learned? As long as you study these professional things more, you will find that any knowledge is bottomless.
On the other hand, if you don't assign your major well, no matter how well you study and how much knowledge you think it has, you don't need them. If you work in an industry with no future all your life and have limited development opportunities, it will be very uncomfortable. If you definitely want to change careers after graduation, most of your professional knowledge in this science is useless. Just like my college classmates, few people do their jobs well. People who don't do their jobs have a good life, while those who are still doing their jobs are ordinary, and some even live a lonely life. As long as it is assigned to the general department, the situation is generally the same! So, if you already know that your major distribution prospects are poor, please don't just bury yourself in your studies! Please look at your future while reading! Where is your ideal job? What preparations should be made to realize this career ideal? Learn more things that can serve your career goals!
MSc is basically that you sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher's lecture, and the most involved is the presentation in seminar.
Supplement: the demand for master of science has soared.
The master's degree in European management is becoming the first choice for European top enterprises to recruit employees. French business schools are not only the main force of enrollment, but also occupy half of the list of European master's courses in the Financial Times.
For graduates of Master of Science (MSc), the most attractive place this year is the City of London. In addition to the signing bonus of 8,000 pounds for outstanding graduates, banks also pay a starting salary of 35,000 pounds. Those who work in capital markets or investment banks can expect to get double salary in the first three years, which is equivalent to the salary of newly hired MBA graduates. This year, the starting salary paid by the city to MBA graduates is 58,000.
Allen, Managing Director of Lehman Brothers in London and Head of European Graduate Recruitment and Development? Ellen Ellen Miller said that in the past two years, the demand for Master of Science in Banking has surged, and students who can do long-term internships are becoming more and more popular.
The experience accumulated during these internship periods (the longest 1 year) is especially welcomed by graduate recruiters. Alex, head of L 'Oreal UK and Ireland recruitment? Snelling said that the business experience gained by students during their internship, coupled with the business acumen and multilingual ability of the masters of management course professors, often make the masters of science from mainland business schools particularly popular.
In this year's ranking of the Financial Times, ESCP-EAP ranks third among peers, and Cems ranks second among peers. Business schools and similar courses are famous for requiring students to learn different languages and study in different places. But they may increasingly face competition from other European business schools.
For example, France's EM Lyon announced this month that it will launch a two-year European Master of Management program in cooperation with Aston Business School in the UK and Bernstein School of Management in Germany. The first batch of students will enter school in 2007.
Patrice, Head of Grande Ecole Project at Lyon Business School? Patrice Houdaille said: "Students will study in English, but in the second year, they will be able to learn the local language."
He believes that by 20 10, when the bologna agreement is fully implemented, this course will be open to 2.4 million undergraduate graduates with bachelor's degrees from European universities. The Bologna Agreement, signed and adopted by 45 countries, aims to develop a standard education system, adopting the model of bachelor's degree plus master's degree instead of the five-year single-degree model with longer hours.
Eric, Director-General of the European Certification Body European Management Development Foundation (EFMD)? Connuel is not very confident about the implementation of the agreement. "Although it can't be said to be a mess, people didn't expect the full impact." The European Management Development Foundation recently conducted a survey on students' understanding of the Bologna Agreement education reform. The results show that half of the students surveyed have no deep understanding of the significance of the reform. David, head of HEC- European School of Management, UK? Davide Sola, director of the Bologna Agreement, said that it may not be surprising that students are confused, because countries have many interpretations of the Bologna Agreement. For example, France and Italy adopt the model of three-year bachelor's degree plus two-year master's degree; Spain chose the mode of four-year undergraduate plus 1 year master's degree; Germany chooses a three-year undergraduate course plus 18-month master course system.
He said: "In the end, it will be decided by the market (which model is successful)."
At the same time, people's understanding of this master of science degree and MBA degree is still quite confusing. Essec in Paris not only calls its Grande Ecole course MBA, but also overlaps with other courses.
Julian, 25 years old? Guillemain graduated this month, and completed the Grande Ecole course in the last year of Audencia nantes School of Management in France and the MBA course of University of Cincinnati 1 year in the United States, and obtained the Master of Science degree and MBA degree. Guillemain has returned to France and started his career in the music industry.
This experience gave him a chance to compare two degrees. "American courses are more pragmatic and less theoretical," he said. "At the School of Management of Nantes University, we have more time to study this topic in depth. In MBA class, some students have never studied business before.
