The most popular major has become a "sinkhole". Why is the civil engineering major no longer popular?.
The downturn in the property market in the past two or three years has caused traditional civil engineering majors to fall into a trap of fixed development and cognitive bias. Many students are reluctant to follow traditional career paths, and the proportion of people changing careers immediately after graduation is increasing. On the Internet, the word to describe this situation is "running away with a bucket". This is the third time that civil engineering has experienced a downturn since 1970.
