Want to have a job in your field right after graduation, what to study and how to study?

In the context of the 4.0 industrial revolution, digital transformation is taking place more and more strongly, choosing what to study and how to study to have a job in the right field after graduation is a question that students and parents are concerned about.

Candidates learn more and more practical information about professions.

Before university, choosing a major is always a difficult problem for candidates and parents.

Is it easy to find a job after graduating from Medicine - Pharmacy - Nursing? What jobs can you do after graduating from Business Administration? What jobs can you do after graduating from linguistics? Please advise me which major is suitable for the development of society? Please advise me on majors that have stable jobs and high salaries? I see many people who graduate from university are unemployed, please advise me on which major to study so that I don't sit around doing nothing and being unemployed after graduating?...

These are questions that candidates and parents are particularly interested in when learning about careers in the 2021 admissions season.

According to experts, choosing a major based on your strengths and passions, and choosing a reputable, quality university to study at, is an extremely important premise for future success.

In response to the students' very practical questions, education experts have inspired them with specific stories about career orientation.

Dr. Luong Cao Dong - Principal of Dai Nam University affirmed: "Only when students choose a career according to their strengths, the career they love and desire the most, and at the same time choose a prestigious and quality university, then they will have the motivation and passion to try to study well and succeed..."

Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing are hot majors, extremely attractive to students with good academic performance.

According to Dr. Luong Cao Dong, in addition to choosing a major based on your interests, it is also important to grasp the development trends of professions in society to make a choice. For example, industries that are in great demand for human resources such as Information Technology and Automotive Engineering Technology are and will be in great need of human resources. Those who love and study these majors will have good job opportunities after graduation according to their trained majors.

Information technology is one of the key training courses of Dai Nam University.

Therefore, Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong - Vice Principal in charge of training at Dai Nam University affirmed that candidates who wish to choose these majors can rest assured in their choices and the most important issue is still having the right strengths and passion to be successful, not just choosing a major or career.

Choose a career according to the trend of the times

So, how to choose the right major in today's rapidly developing social trend?

According to experts, no matter how much impact Industry 4.0 has, technology and machines cannot completely replace humans. The human factor is always the most important in every era.

When choosing to take the B block exam, candidates should focus on choosing majors in the Health block such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Preventive Medicine, Public Health... because these are hot professions in all trends of the times. Especially, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic becoming increasingly complicated and dangerous worldwide and the need for human health care and protection is increasing.

Or for candidates interested in Business Administration, education experts also confirm that this is a major worth the money in the integration period.

Dr. Nguyen Viet Anh - Vice Principal, Head of the Faculty of Business Administration, Dai Nam University shared: “Although the business administration major trains managers, in reality, after graduating from this major, students can know how to do business, know how to start a business, and have the ability to organize a small business. The advantage of students studying business administration is that they can work in many fields, in many types of businesses, so it is easy to find a job…”

Students majoring in Automotive Engineering Technology at Dai Nam University will be trained in a Japanese standard practical environment from the first year.

For candidates interested in Information Technology - an indispensable major in the digital age and linguistics - the most important major in the era of international integration and exchange, Dr. Luong Cao Dong affirmed that these are very attractive majors, worth choosing and pursuing.

Or for candidates interested in Automotive Engineering Technology, Dr. Hoang Tran Dong - Head of the Automotive Engineering Technology Department of Dai Nam University said that this is one of the "Hot" majors.

Mr. Dong shared: "1000 people asked, 1001 people said they wanted to own a car. There will come a time when every family will have a car, even each person in the family will own a car. A very potential market for production, care, repair, and maintenance. Besides, Vietnam's traffic and road systems are becoming more and more modern. Therefore, the number of services related to cars is increasing, the demand for human resources in this industry is also increasing. The work of the automobile industry is very diverse, from registration, customs... to car dealerships..."

How to learn?

To ensure that a bachelor's degree is not wasted or that the knowledge gained from 4, 5, or 6 years of university study can be applied to future work, experts say the problem lies primarily with the learner.

To be successful, students need to have the right goals and positive learning attitude from the beginning.

Mr. Tran Anh Tuan - Deputy Director of the Center for Human Resource Demand Forecasting and Labor Market Information of Ho Chi Minh City shared: "No matter what major they study, university students need to cultivate knowledge of information technology, foreign languages and soft skills. These are three skills that any job in the future will need and are factors to compete with high-quality foreign workers in the global labor trend."

Dai Nam University students are oriented towards their careers and inspired to learn right from the moment they enter school and throughout the course.

In addition to specialized knowledge that can be called core knowledge, learners need to proactively equip themselves with other skills to adapt to the requirements of employers and jobs. No school can teach enough of that, but each learner needs to cultivate, supplement, and accumulate in the process of working later if they do not want to be eliminated. That is also the key to studying a major that can do many jobs.

Explaining this issue further, Ms. Cao Thi Hoa - Vice Principal of Dai Nam University said that skills and attitudes (ethics) account for 80% of job opportunities for each person because expertise can be further trained or retrained, but attitude, eagerness to learn and coordination skills are especially important.

Foreign languages and soft skills are plus points of Dai Nam University students.

Ms. Hoa added that at Dai Nam University, in addition to professional training, the school focuses on professional ethics, skills, and especially educating students: before being successful, one must first become a good person!...
