Features: When filling out college applications for the Gaokao, how to choose a major is a common dilemma for every parent and student. Although high school students still have many uncertainties, by analyzing their academic background and interests, combined with future employment and study abroad trends, relatively optimal choices can still be made. The scores in a student's hands are like money, and everyone's money is limited and scarce. Although some students have high scores that allow them to enter any major at Peking University or Tsinghua University, they may still fall behind others in work or study abroad opportunities four years later if they don't choose the optimal major. Such cases are not uncommon. For the vast majority of people, scores are not high enough to freely choose majors at prestigious universities like Peking University or Tsinghua. For some, scores are particularly scarce. So, how can one use their limited scores to purchase the ideal major? Based on interviews and research with human resources leaders from renowned domestic and international companies, PhD students at top universities in the UK and US, and undergraduate and graduate students from various schools in China, the HiAll team will reveal little-known information about majors, employment, and study abroad, helping you make informed choices. This book is a research report on the current status, characteristics, and future career paths of majors in universities. The creative team, through extensive research and combining high school students' future development and career prospects, analyzes the various factors that must be considered when choosing a major for the Gaokao and provides detailed introductions to the current status, disciplinary characteristics, employment, and study abroad information of most majors in China, helping every parent and student facing major selection to make rational choices.
