What major should I choose to not be unemployed after graduation?
Choosing what to study to avoid unemployment after graduation is always a difficult problem, and the problem becomes even more difficult when students graduate and face great challenges from the 4.0 revolution.
Risk of unemployment and being eliminated
The 4.0 revolution is a revolution where computers, automation and humans work together in new ways. Machines are connected to computer systems, which use machine learning algorithms to learn and control machines, requiring little or no human intervention.
Currently, the 4.0 Revolution is taking place in developed countries such as the US, Europe, and part of Asia. It is undeniable that the 4.0 revolution brings golden opportunities, but it also poses great challenges to humanity. When automation replaces manual labor, when robots replace humans in many fields, labor productivity will increase but there will be countless surplus workers, unemployed or eliminated, especially manual workers, untrained and low-skilled workers.

Some suggestions from experts on career choice:
Information technology
With the ability to collect and analyze data, information technology will be a key industry in the new era, training software development engineers, robot software development engineers, network security experts, information security experts, mobile Internet development engineers, data analysis experts... In particular, the scope of work of the industry will expand to all fields from communications to finance, commerce, entertainment...
Electronics and communications
Along with information technology, electronics and communications are two key engineering disciplines that create the infrastructure for connecting, exchanging, collecting, storing and processing the vast information resources of the Digital World. In terms of education, these are considered two “leading” disciplines that are focused on training at universities and colleges across the country.
Travel - hotel
For service industries that enjoy life such as tourism and hotels, robots have not yet replaced the role of humans. According to statistics, each year, specialized tourism training schools only meet 60% of the demand, leading to a serious shortage of tourism human resources. Therefore, students who are well-trained and professionally graduate confidently say no to unemployment.
Design, art
Although artificial intelligence has made great achievements, thinking and creativity are still limited. Meanwhile, the specific nature of the design and art industry is constant creativity. Therefore, for these industries, robots can hardly replace humans.
In addition, some other fields such as Economic Law, Business Administration, State Management, etc. are also less affected by the 4.0 revolution. The above suggestions are not all, but these are the fields that are predicted to "reign" in the new era.
