Choose school according to ability

Choose a major that matches social human resource trends

VThere are still many candidates who decide on their majors based on trends, with "crowd mentality", because they hear their friends say it is popular.hot industry“… As a result, many students drop out of their studies and careers after a few years… just because they choose a career that does not match their passion and strengths.

Sharing about this issue, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Vice Principal of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, said: The issue of choosing a major or choosing a school has been discussed in many forums, over many years, with many different perspectives... However, in the most general way, domestic and foreign admissions consultants often point out some basic principles in determining majors and training schools. Among the 6-7 core principles of the major-choice-school handbook, people often mention the 2 most fundamental principles: First, register for the major you love the most; Second, decide which school/training institution to study that major at...

Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan analyzed that before the important moment of deciding to register for a major, students should choose the major they love the most and have the best potential for development.

"From my own experience in choosing a school more than two decades ago, from my experience in managing higher education over the years, from expert analysis of many domestic and foreign higher education institutions... I believe that choosing a major is important; after choosing the major you love, you should calculate which training institution you believe is the best to start your journey of studying and starting a career."

Currently, each major is often trained by many schools. For example: Social Work is trained at the following schools: University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Trade Union University, Thang Long University, etc.

All of these programs are issued and quality-tested by the State, so the diplomas will have equal legal and practical value. The important thing is that students who like the learning environment should register their wishes to study Social Work at that school to have the most satisfactory learning environment; because if you are satisfied with the learning environment, the results will be better, knowledge, skills, and a positive learning attitude are very important for starting a career after graduation...

In addition, choosing a major also needs to be considered and analyzed for the development potential of that industry - profession in the future. Currently, there are industries with surplus human resources, and industries with shortage of human resources, so students should consult experts and learn for themselves to choose a major that is suitable for social human resource trends.

It is not necessary to choose a "hot" school.

Master Bui Thanh Binh, Department of Training Management, Academy of Policy and Development, said that one of the important factors to be successful in work and in life is to choose a career that is related to your passion. Candidates should choose a major, not necessarily a "hot" school. Each student must consider what they are best at to choose a major according to their core competencies.

Students should determine their major first, then choose a university that suits their abilities. “Once you have chosen a career you like, it is not necessary to go to a prestigious university that you cannot afford. You can choose a good university with lower scores, but with effort, determination, and passion, you can absolutely find a good job,” said Mr. Binh.

According to Mr. Binh, choosing a major in school is just as important as choosing a school. Knowing your own abilities and real academic performance, and knowing from that reality to choose a school or major that suits you, that is the brightest way of thinking. It will guide the next steps of your life in the right direction.
