Answering some other questions related to choosing a major to have a good career, Dr. Pham Manh Ha - Deputy Head of the Youth Affairs Department of the Youth Academy said very briefly: "If you want to be an ordinary person, you can choose anything. But if you want to become an expert and be creative with your career, choose a career based on your passion and be creative in the career you are pursuing."

In fact, these orientations are also the goals that the Ministry of Education and Training is implementing in the process of "innovation". That is, instead of training according to the capacity of schools, it is currently training in the direction of accessing resources for the country's development.

Candidates applying to universities, instead of applying based on “highest chance of admission”, have now shifted to “whichever school is most suitable, most suitable for their abilities and strengths”. In the past three years, the Ministry of Education and Training has also separated career orientation from knowledge orientation. That requires students to develop comprehensively and fully to keep up with social trends.
