Young need better advice

Colleges should do more to help students choose majors and apply for schools, says an article in Dazhong Daily. The following is an excerpt:

In recent days, students and their parents are much concerned about how to apply for colleges after the release of the national college entrance examination scores. A latest survey showed that the supply of several popular college majors all exceed the demand of the market and in each of the three popular majors - computer science, law and English language. Nine out of 10 majors that have the largest number of jobless graduates are the so-called popular majors. The excessive supply of popular major graduates has led to their low employment rate. It might be a tip for those parents and students who are busy now applying for colleges.

Those who have ever entered colleges know that one's interest and hobby may not tally with his or her major. People who have work experience may understand that it is more important to choose a major that is in accord with one's own interest and personal development than to study in a renowned university with a major one does not like.
