This year, with a total score of 676, she ranked fourth in the liberal arts of Hunan College Entrance Examination and applied for the archaeology major of Peking University.

　　However, this decision aroused doubts from many netizens. Everyone persuaded the girl to consider her family. For the high scores that were finally taken, she should choose a more profitable major; while supporters encouraged her to follow her interests, pursue her ideals, and have heated discussions. Archaeologists and major cultural and cultural institutions can't sit still.

　　Shen Ruiwen, deputy dean of the School of Archaeology, Culture and Museology, Peking University: First of all, I wish her a good grade in the college entrance examination and I also appreciate her.

　　Novelty Majors in Colleges and Universities: There are "explosive models" and some unpopular

　　The choice of a major in a university is clear to people with interests and goals, but when more people apply for their volunteers, whether they can find a well-paid job in the future has become an important factor in reporting. In order to attract talents, some colleges and universities are constantly adapting to market demand and opening many "novelty" majors, some of which have become popular, while others are prohibitive.

　　In Xuyi, Jiangsu, there is a crayfish college, which offers different kinds of lobster-related courses, and students graduate with a special certificate for crayfish cooking. The dean of the college said that the demand for this major is in short supply, and many students are scheduled to leave before graduation. Also born out of time is the e-sports major that emerged from the "spring breeze" of e-sports events. As early as 2017, Nanjing Institute of Communication and Communication took the lead in introducing this major into full-time undergraduate studies, and the first class of students is about to usher in the graduation season.

　　During the epidemic, the live broadcast economy at the forefront of the epidemic also gave birth to a number of new occupations and new positions. For a time, the webcasting profession became a popular choice for many young people, and it also catalyzed the cultivation of relevant talents in some universities. This year, two colleges and universities in Jiangxi Province have set up live broadcasting colleges, preparing to open related majors.

　　If the new majors opened under the new economy are the choices of colleges and universities to adapt to the market, then there are some majors that no one cares about all the year round, and students who take this path often require super courage. Last year, Yang Liu, a senior girl from Qianjiang College of Hangzhou Normal University, became popular on the Internet. She was the only one majoring in Huanghou. She said that she wanted to be a Huanghou teacher and let everyone see its charm.

　　In September last year, 38 freshmen entered the Anhui Urban Vocational Management College to study funeral and interment. This school is also the first in Anhui Province and the fifth in the country to offer funeral and interment majors. The school said that it was originally worried that this major would be very unpopular, but it did not expect that 38 new students were recruited in the first term, which is much higher than the planned enrollment of 30 students. The school stated that funeral professionals are in short supply and their income is relatively high.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, in the past 18 years, a total of 37,799 majors have been added and 1,496 majors have been abolished in major universities across the country.

　　Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences: New majors required by society may become popular majors. Some old traditional majors will gradually be eliminated over time, and some universities will withdraw majors. This is a trend.

　　In the past 20 years, engineering has accounted for an increasing proportion from economics and management law, advertising design, engineering infrastructure, to artificial intelligence and big data. Engineering thrives, and now it occupies almost half of the new majors. Chu Zhaohui said that the development of engineering majors is directly related to the development of social industries. Colleges and candidates should understand this trend and make their choices better coordinate with the needs of society.

　　According to the analysis of the "Report on Employment of Chinese College Students in 2020", the average salary of engineering graduates in 2019 is 5,809 yuan, exceeding the 5,519 yuan in economics, making it the highest paid major.
