How do college students choose their careers and determine their development direction and goals?

Nowadays, many college students are confused when choosing a job, and they don't know how to analyze, judge and choose. Some students are dissatisfied with their major, don't like it, and don't know whether other majors are better or not. Some students have no confidence in their professional ability and don't know whether their professional prospects are good or not. Some students rely on their parents and friends to give advice, have no opinions on their career development, and follow suit. Although some students have career goals, they are difficult to achieve or need special relationships to achieve them (such as being a civil servant, being a big star, etc.) Some students even set their career goals as having a car, a house and no loans before the age of 30, or marrying a good husband and having a happy family. Before choosing a career, you should distinguish between career, work and life. Having a car and a house without a loan before the age of 30, or marrying a good husband and having a happy family, is only a personal life goal or financial indicator, and has nothing to do with career goals. Occupation is a long-term job that can meet the long-term development and high-level spiritual needs of individuals and create material and spiritual wealth for others and society. Work is a relatively short-term process to meet material needs, such as eating, drinking and living. Of course, you can explore your career, development direction and goals through part-time, accumulate experience, funds and personnel relations for your future career, and create opportunities, which can be a useful foreshadowing or transitional stage. For example, Chairman Mao's occupation is revolution, and his career development direction is to find a suitable development model for the China revolution (combining Marxism with China's practice), put forward a revolutionary strategy (encircling the city from the countryside), create revolutionary ideas (Mao Zedong Thought), and guide and direct the revolutionary struggle (instead of engaging in underground struggle from the front). The career goal is to change China's poverty and weakness in modern times through revolution, find a development path that conforms to China's characteristics, and make China rejuvenate again, strengthen the country and enrich the people. Of course, he did a lot of work to make a living or cover up revolutionary activities. There are famous librarians of Peking University and soldiers of Hunan Xiang Army. We can't say that Chairman Mao's work is meaningless and worthless, because through these work experiences, he learned about society, increased his knowledge, exercised his ability, got acquainted with revolutionary comrades, contacted revolutionary theories, and finally determined his career, development direction and goals. From his deeds, we can see that finding a suitable career, development direction and goal is not achieved overnight, but gradually discovered in one's own practice or even practice failure. This is clear and can of course change with the passage of time and the change of the situation, so it is a dynamic concept. It is unrealistic to expect to rely on others to achieve success in one step, once and for all, and smooth sailing. Before making a judgment and choice, college students should examine their own personality characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, ability level, hobbies, ideal expectations and external opportunities and situations. We can analyze it from four angles: first, what we like, second, what we can do, what opportunities we have, and which opportunities are better in the end. Let me analyze it in detail. Most students should know what they like and what they can do. After all, they know their own situation best. But for some students who are not clear, I have the following suggestions to help them understand their hobbies. First of all, you can ask your parents and friends who know you better and ask their opinions. You can also observe the hobbies and occupations of your parents and grandparents. If you are more like your father in character and temper, then your father's occupation or similar or related occupation may suit you. Secondly, you can recall your childhood habits, favorite activities, and even grasp the results of a week. These are hobbies that truly reflect a person's inner world. For example, I like to listen to storytelling, storytelling, romance stories, Yang Jiajiang, Yue Jiajiang, Xue Gang's anti-Tang, Water Margin, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc., which shows that I like struggle and strategy, like to look back on the past, a little rebellious, and like to be unrestrained and free. I like many kinds of sports, such as table tennis, tennis, Go, long-distance running, skating and skiing. That means I like to try different things, have endurance and love sports. The result of my grasping Zhou is a ruler. I think the information security work I am engaged in now has something in common with this. My occupation is essentially an engineer or a technical consultant, and a ruler is an engineer's tool. A ruler is also a measure. I do information security to prevent or prevent internal and external personnel from violating the company's security policies, standards and norms. Rulers can also be used by teachers to punish students. I work in information security. Once I find that internal and external personnel violate the company's safety policies, standards and norms, I will also punish them. So it seems that the result of my weekly arrest is closely related to my current job. What an act of god! Thirdly, you can look at your favorite idols and their works, books, articles and so on. Idols are generally a reflection of individuals themselves. There is no love or hate for no reason. As your favorite idol, you must have a lot in common with yourself, and you can only resonate with your own works, such as books and articles, and you have hobbies and appreciation. For example, I like politicians and military strategists since I was a child, such as Guan Zhong, Sun Wu, Yue Fei and Mao Zedong. I like Guanzi, The Art of War, Man Jiang Hong, On Contradiction and On Practice. After high school, I began to be interested in science, and my grades also advanced by leaps and bounds. I like to watch relativity, quantum mechanics and worship physicists such as Newton, Einstein and Bohr. I found that I also have the ability to be rational, logical, thinking, analyzing and exploring the unknown. Therefore, the college entrance examination is all about information electronic engineering. Now doing information security is also a struggle with hackers, which often requires wits and courage, and can also be combined with one's hobbies and arts and sciences. Therefore, looking back at the hobbies of these idols, we can also deduce our own hobbies. I used to have a girlfriend who said that her idol was Andy Lau, because she liked music and singing (she was piano master from the Conservatory of Music). I have no feelings for Andy Lau. So in the end, she had no feelings for me. I can't help it Idols are different, different! And you can find out what constellation you are. People in each constellation have different hobbies. I am a Virgo, I love learning, I love truth, I love doing things according to rules and regulations, I hate risks, I hate lying and cheating, and I hate breaking the law and discipline. Therefore, in terms of information security and risk control, it is necessary to constantly learn advanced technical theories to cope with the latest attack methods of hackers. Please refer to the information about the characteristics of each constellation. Finally, check your blood type. People with different blood types have different hobbies. Generally speaking, type O is more organized, picky, good at management and suitable for being a manager, type A is more obedient to authoritative officers and shy, suitable for being a professional, and type AB is more sensitive and intelligent, with dual personality, suitable for engaging in literature and art or creating inventions. I am type B, I love freedom, travel, kindness, helpfulness and communication, but I am sloppy, impatient, disorganized and disobedient to authority. Type B is more suitable for establishing a new career but not good at persistence (impatience, liking the new and hating the old). Please refer to the relevant information to understand the specific characteristics of each blood type. As for the opportunities, I think everyone will have some opportunities more or less. But it needs to be emphasized that don't wait for him, take the initiative to seize the opportunity. We should mobilize all social resources, make more friends, participate in social activities and create opportunities. I have a friend in Shanghai who is studying in Australia, but he can't find a good job and has to do odd jobs. Once, his classmates came to his rented house to look for him and chatted with his landlord (local white) by the way. It happened that his landlord recruited people and introduced his classmates to the interview. As a result, he got the job. I said to my mother at that time, it seems that opportunities really only favor those who are prepared. A friend rented a house for nothing, but there was no moon near the water tower. His classmate picked the moon. Of course, don't aim too high and pursue opportunities that are too demanding and unrealistic. For example, taking the civil service exam is almost as difficult as taking the imperial examination in feudal society, and no one is sure to get in. In addition, the civil service exam also has an interview session. It is said that it is so dark that it is difficult to get into government offices. Generally need to spend money or lead the police approved. I advise college students to take this opportunity as a backup plan, try their best to take the exam with their talents and try their best to cram with their contacts. Never go into darkness, insist on it as the main or even the only opportunity, otherwise it will waste time and other good opportunities. Finally, it is to judge which opportunities are better. I think the most suitable opportunity is the one that suits my hobbies and personality characteristics and meets my ideal wishes, instead of just looking at income, treatment, welfare, status, fame, or conformity. After all, interest is the best teacher, and the work with interest can be better and better, make achievements and make a name for itself. Just like getting married, I'm afraid no one wants to be a partner with someone they don't love or have no interest in at all. Of course you can change careers. Once you feel that it is not suitable for you, you should look for new opportunities as soon as possible to avoid wasting time. But don't be too fond of the new and tired of the old, just try it a little, and you must be thoughtful and cautious when changing careers. When judging the good or bad opportunities, we should also comprehensively consider the long-term planning of the country, such as the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the current and future macroeconomic situation and other external factors. If you were engaged in the Internet industry in the 1990s, financial real estate industry in 2000 and high-speed rail industry in 2008, I think there must be a bright future. Now your career development should be very bright. Now that China is adjusting its economic structure, it needs to vigorously promote domestic demand and develop new industries such as high technology, new energy and environmental protection. College students should pay more attention to relevant career opportunities, rather than sunset industries that have become the past. For example, Guangdong's original export trade manufacturing industry is also very developed, which has traditionally attracted a large number of talents. However, in the face of the European and American debt crisis, costs have risen, wages have risen, profits have fallen, and production and operation have been difficult. In the future, it may be necessary to open up domestic market channels, establish brands, strengthen scientific research and services, and extend to both ends of the smile curve (sales/marketing, scientific research/services) to increase added value. I believe that college students can find promising careers and get good development opportunities in these fields. If there are still college students who lack the ability of analysis and judgment or are indecisive, there is no way to find a career that suits them. I can teach you a trick-fortune telling. I tried this on the girlfriend mentioned above. I got her horoscope and found a fortune teller. Ask her if she is suitable for art, and the answer is yes, because life is full of fire (art needs enthusiasm). I also asked her if she was suitable for business. The answer is very appropriate, because her life is very prosperous (doing business requires enthusiasm and initiative), and she also said that this person has strong ability to do things and will be very successful in doing business in art. The result of fortune telling is in line with the facts. She has a master degree in piano. She teaches Korean children piano as a profession. In her spare time, she opened an online shop on Taobao and bought Korean clothes. Business is booming, and the two incomes add up to a little rich woman. I suggest that you give the fortune teller a list of occupations he wants to pursue, so that he can figure out which ones are suitable for him and which ones are not. It should be a miracle. Of course, this is just to determine a suitable occupation range, which occupation needs to be judged by yourself, but someone must always check and screen. The above is just my experience and life experience, and whether it is correct or not is a matter of opinion. If you have different opinions, you are welcome to discuss, and the more you argue, the clearer the truth will be.
