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 big 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 parts 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 redundant, unemployed or eliminated workers, 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 industry's scope of work will expand to all fields from media to finance, commerce, entertainment...

Electronics and communications

Along with information technology, electronics and communications is one of the two key engineering industries that create the infrastructure to connect, exchange, collect, store and process the huge information resources of the Digital World. In terms of education, these are considered the two "leading" fields of study that are focused on training at Universities and Colleges across the country.

Travel - hotel

For service industries that enjoy life such as tourism - hotels, robots have not 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 are very difficult to 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.
