Do you still hold the idea of "Let the child freely choose the job he wants" and "He wants to know what he wants, and I will support it"? Please think twice. Work and workplace are treacherous and changeable. If parents don't do some homework early and counsel their children's future career, they may make their children "leap off the cliff with the boss."
In May of this year, a campus news aroused the attention of the workplace: the number of individual applicants for the university is the most popular school, and the national university is ranked first by the college of communication of the National Chengchi University. The enrollment is 49, attracting 1082 applicants. The admission rate is the lowest. The reason for the news of
is that the industry of "print media journalists" has just been selected as the job with the worst development prospects by the American career counseling website CareerCast. With such a bad outlook for journalists, it is really worrying that high school students have become the university department that high school students want to rush to study. At least for now, it seems that the future prospects of print media show no signs of improvement. What should these young people do after college?
Parents' attitude
Maybe a journalist will work again in five years, and no one dares to say about the future of the workplace. However, it’s not right for parents not to intervene, and it’s wrong to over-intervene. How should we pay attention to their children's future sexual career?
The following examples are typical of the typical attitudes of parents in Taiwan:
1. Strongly dominant
Tianmu C mother: "When my daughter is in kindergarten, let her learn piano, pottery, painting, checkers, etc. My daughter loves painting very much. I gave the drawing card to the teacher. Everyone praised it and stimulated my interest. I often draw by myself at home.
"She wants to take an art class in high school. I don't agree with her. She is also good in subjects. She should go to ordinary high school; but her daughter insists on taking the exam. I thought about it. It can be taken as the first big test in life, but she passed the exam, and I won’t give her the exam. She must go to a normal high school before entering university.”
2. Free-style
Li Wangzhu: “ My daughter didn’t go to the Ann class until she was in Primary Six. She had to make up for her English in Primary Five. She had a good homework. Later she played inline skating. She dropped from the top three to more than ten in Primary Three and Primary Four. I asked her to stop the club. Activities, the results are pulled back.
Her homework is weaker in physics, chemistry and society. It’s okay if she doesn’t want to read, just grow up safely and happily. With so much information now, I don’t think I know more, as long as I go straight That’s fine."
3. Professional coaching
Zhu Yixian: "My daughter likes fashion design and is currently studying in a related department. Designing in Taiwan seems to be very good, but it is very tiring and hard work. Not everyone can earn one million dollars a year.
I have no objection or approval. I do furniture design. The assistant in this profession is more like a dog than a dog. The salary is 25,000 yuan, but this is the case.
is very happy to paint at home, but in case the boss calls If you paint, will you be happy? I know how the industry is. I can only analyze the actual situation of the industry for my child and tell her: "I can't help you be happy." In the end, she has to make her own choice. "How does
intervene? How to help? There is no right or wrong for these parents, and they all have their own reasons for choosing.
Regarding whether parents should intervene, Wang Lisheng, chairman of the China Association for the Development of Aptitude Education, suggested this: "For children who are spontaneous and perform well in learning, parents should relax a little and let the children take the lead; for learning performance in the middle and later stages Yes, parents should give more encouragement and more demands. Without pressure, children will relax.” If parents want to intervene, it is best to study the future workplace and work, so as not to think that the prospects are good and force their children to recite. The industry becomes a sunset industry when your child graduates from college; what you don't support will become very strong later.
Year 7 student Chen Songcheng graduated from Tamkang Transportation Management Department. Because of his interest, he began to study design by himself in college. He said that if parents were told fifteen years ago that the design industry would become popular in the future, they would not believe it. They only felt that if children studied in these disciplines, they could only become painters, teach painting or draw movie billboards after graduation. After all, who can predict the development of the design industry?
So, what aspect of the child should parents pay attention to? How can we help them? Wu Wudian, an honorary professor of the Special Education Department of Normal University, has observed many students. He found that passion and sexuality are more important than academic performance. A student who scored 100 points in mathematics and science, but has no enthusiasm for science and technology, does not participate in science exhibitions, does not read science magazines, and does not participate in science and technologyFor related activities, students who only scored 90 points, but were interested and passionate about science and technology, were the latter who had achieved greater success in this field.
There are also some careers that seem to be promising or have less ideal development. Most parents will strongly oppose their children's choices. However, as long as they have enthusiasm, they may be able to find a way out.
Li Shixiang and Huang Jeni are young couples in their early thirties. When they chose music as their career because they liked it, their parents had a lot of opinions.
Li Shixiang said that his father was a civil servant, and he also hoped that he could take the civil service examination. When he transferred from the Tamkang Economics Department to the Music Department of the University of Truth, his father was very worried. Huang Jieni studied in the Department of Culture and Chinese. The two got married because of electronic music, and began to make a career in the field of electronic music. Her parents were bothered at first.
However, with their enthusiasm for music, they have gradually become famous. They have made music arrangements for the opening of the 25th anniversary celebration of the two halls. They usually perform publicly in restaurants and events. The salary is better than ordinary office workers.
Huang Jieni said that her mother asked her to study piano, but she didn't let her study music. This year, they won a talent show in a talent show in mainland China, and tens of millions of people are watching. The mother will always proudly introduce: "This is my daughter and son-in-law." Where are the opportunities for the future career?
is the world that children have to face when they grow up. If you want your children to prepare, you must always know the general direction.
From the changes in industries and job demands that companies have opened for freshmen in 104 Manpower Bank, we can see some of the development of Taiwan’s economy in the past few years. The most popular industry among young people at present is:
1. Catering category: In the past six years, job openings have grown by 1037%, but there are also many people who want to find this kind of job, with 10 out of 7 job openings.
2. Software engineering: Job vacancies grew by 42%, and one person has two job opportunities.
3. Design category: Job vacancies have grown by 45%, but too many schools offer courses, many graduates, and one person only has 0.64 job opportunities.
4. Administration/General Affairs: Job vacancies have grown by 376%, but too many people choose jobs with relatively low thresholds and easy admission, and one person only has 0.79 job opportunities.
5. Text compilation category: Although job vacancies have grown as high as 263%, there are many job seekers, and one person only has 0.54 job opportunities.
It can be seen from this that if parents do not grasp the right trend, and only follow their own experience and understanding, they can persuade their children to enter certain industries, which may actually harm their children to fall into hard work or sunset industries. If the children's work and interests do not match, it will make the children more suffering.
Wu Wudian analyzed that the current Taiwanese society’s priority for young people to choose their careers is: academic first, social popularity and parental advice second, sexual orientation third, and multiple intelligences last.
He suggested: "The best order is actually: sexual orientation first, multiple intelligences second, academics third, social popularity fourth."
Too many parents dare not advise their children because they are unsure of themselves, and just say: " Think clearly and decide for yourself.” However, children know nothing about society and the workplace, and they are limited in what they can think about. Parents need to be more active to assist, so it is recommended to spend more time on understanding relevant information.
If parents fail to grasp the right trend, just follow their own experience and understanding, and forcefully persuade their children to enter certain industries, they may instead fall into hard work or sunset industries. If the children's work and interests do not match, it will make the children more suffering.
Taiwan has changed a lot in the past ten years. What industry has a future? How do parents do their homework? Hong Guangli, general manager of
104 Human Bank, was originally an engineer in the technology industry. He analyzed that no one knows whether the Internet industry will be popular in 2025? Perhaps medical and biotech will become popular, but it is difficult to predict. His suggestion is that you don’t have to choose an industry, but you have to return to your job, choose something related to your own interests and disciplines, and cultivate soft power, so that you will not be limited to a certain industry. After all, every industry has a ten-year round of growth. .
"If you are suitable to be an engineer, do it. It doesn't matter if it's your turn. In case you leave your job like this, you will miss it when the rise comes. It is better to stay quiet." Hong Guangli believes that the combination of profession and interest is very important. Department, now that cross-department credits are prevalent, it is not necessary to transfer departments, for example, those who study philosophy can cross-study law.
"Enterprises look at skills and soft power, not departments." He pointed out that the service industry is a job that requires soft skills, and marketing is the company's medium.As the mainstay, the market has always been in demand, and there must be endless learning in the workplace. You must have the basic skills and tickets to squeeze into the enterprise.
Hong Guangli suggested not to choose an industry, but to choose a position, because he has been in the human resources industry for a long time and has experience. The following is his analysis of the changes in the past ten years:
industries with a large increase:
catering services have increased demand.
The transportation and logistics industry is prospering, convenience supermarkets and shopping centers have appeared in large numbers, and e-commerce has flourished.
The education and guidance industry is emerging.
The information software industry is emerging with the popularity of the Internet. The development of
design industry, exquisite products, no longer focus on functions, the market has demand, but the competition is fierce.
In general, the manufacturing industry is seriously short of labor, and no one can be found in ten jobs. The demand for security personnel has increased significantly. The industry where
remains flat:
1. Customer service and business have not gone out of fashion.
2. Accounting, marketing, and technology R&D personnel maintain certain demand and belong to the evergreen position.
3. General soft skills such as customer service, retail, business and trade demand are stable.
4. Administration and general affairs have risen in line with economic trends, but there has been no explosive growth.
