All decisions are made for future choices.

How many ordinary people have a turning point that is enough to counterattack?
See a post a while ago:
The landlord is 21 years old and has two ordinary books. He does not like the current agricultural major. It has become unrealistic to change the profession. Parents are rural people who cannot provide more financial support, so they have no plans for postgraduate study. Now I want to learn some skills. In the future, I will earn more money to change my family’s life. It is best to get a monthly salary of over 10,000 when I graduate.
While, for ordinary people, the impact of employment on the trajectory of life is undoubtedly huge.
But I brushed the message below the post and found that something was wrong. Except for the possibility that ridicule is achieved by his current conditions, the style is mostly:
“360 lines, line up.”
“Digging your own interests, it’s the best teacher.”
“First find a job, and do it naturally.”
This… is it wrong?
If you ask what skills you want to study part-time today, or if your work is confusing, these answers are barely justified. But people still have more than a year to graduate, plainly, the goal is clear:
The family is flat, do not want to engage in this major, I hope that future work can make more money.
You can understand everything as “reverse attack”.
So, every decision must be centered on “high income + wide choice”. As for what interests, workplace gains, those are afterward.
Speaking cruelly, your trial and error costs are extremely limited and you can’t afford to lose.
With this opportunity, I want to talk to you about the lungs and the young people who have no money and no resources. What kind of industry is the easiest to counterattack.
02
First say “high income” work.
First, choose an industry with a high average income.
Not long ago, the National Bureau of Statistics published urban and industry wage data for 2018.
“From the national perspective, the three industries with the highest average annual salary are 147,678 yuan for information transmission, software and information technology services, 129,837 yuan for financial industry, and 123,343 yuan for scientific research and technical services.” /strong>
Computer and GoldRong, for many years, still stays at TOP3.
Emerging industries, such as new energy, medical and pharmaceutical income growth trend is fast, but from the average salary, it is still a little bit of meaning.
In the industry choice, you should not choose a job that looks particularly powerful and particularly powerful.
It often means “looks”.
For example, when IT comes to mind, there is a bald code farmer who runs back to the computer and is on call 24 hours a day.
For example, in finance, it is the elite image of a high-dressed suit and a shirt embroidered with its English name.
“It’s money to make money,” which is a typical stereotype.
In fact, many people who do finances are rich in whatever they do.
My friends around me have several majors in finance, which are mainly divided into three categories:
One is that the immediate family can provide the bank’s network resources;
The second is to do business at home, and to train the child as a successor;
The third is that the family has strong financial resources, and it has its own business volume. It is fine to let the children go to any branch.
No money, no resources, unless you pull the business 5 stars, otherwise it is difficult to have an absolute advantage in the financial field.
Look at the computer again.
There are a lot of sub-divisions and the income gap is very large.
The same is “doing IT”, the maintenance staff may be more than 3,000, and the programmer may be more than 10,000. The same programmer, the average monthly salary of writing a junior script is 5,000, and the average monthly salary of the algorithm is 20,000.
Under the subdivision, it is very different. It may be worthwhile to look at the job requirements and average salary of the recruitment website. In fact, we can see a lot of doorways.
Real data is the basis for making decisions, not by feeling.
Second, go to the big city for employment.
The first-line cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou, or the average second-tier cities, have higher average wages. More importantly, there are more opportunities than second- and third-tier cities.
Try to stay in the big city,After a few years of hard work, your vision, thoughts, and thinking will change subtly and naturally, and you will naturally capture more opportunities.
Since you are looking for a higher-paying job, go where you are most likely to achieve and do what is most likely to happen.

Next, continue to talk, what is called “selection wide.”
I will say 3 things first.
1. I majored in electronic information engineering. When I graduated, my classmates looked for software development, database management, microcontroller development, system testing, network engineers, etc., and some did administrative, media, sales or Civil service exam.
2. Many programmers I contacted later turned into product, operations, project management, training instructors, and entrepreneurship. I used to be a business director of the company. HRBP graduated from the computer science of 211 University.
3. My friend reads the Chinese Department. More than 50% of her classmates choose to take civil servants and teachers when they graduate. When I was a child, I learned piano. I chose the masters and sisters of art in the college entrance examination. More than 90% of them became music teachers.
I don’t know if you see nothing.
Professional threshold high + compatibility work, the future is easy to “downgrade” or “diverge” (of course not to say that when the piano teacher is not good, purely from the breadth of choice).
In the case of software development, familiar with the entire project process and each link, there will be a relatively large number of options for switching the runway. Even if it is to do sales of Internet companies, it is a kind of sales with technical background and technical related negotiations.
But the other way around, it’s hard to set up:
Ordinary sales, he can’t be a programmer.
Ordinary administration, he can’t do algorithm analysis.
Ordinary operations, he can’t take the data warehouse.
Use write as an example.
You really like writing, no matter what your major or what you are, you can start writing right away. Well-known writers are almost not Chinese, and have not studied writing.
But a writer, it is difficult for him to do professional work.
Why should you try to go to the high industry?
Because you climb higher, the professional advantage becomes more obvious, and the choices you make are lower.

Many articles like to advocate what young people want to do.
This is actually an ostrich tactic.
What is the primary purpose of the job?
Make money.
What is the purpose of making money?
Selection.
Looking back at the question raised by the youngest person, 21 years old, born in rural areas, the university found that the originally selected agriculture was not conducive to future employment, and planned to re-select one, in order to find a higher wage in the future.Work.
This is a very fortunate thing.
You are still very young. More than a year after graduation, make full use of it, and find a development job in the future, the possibility of realization is not low.
Second, your goal is clear: counterattack, let yourself and your family live a good life. This is already much clearer than the direction of most of my peers.
Selecting a job is a comprehensive resource allocation.
You will multiply several factors you have to maximize resource efficiency.
·If you have good economic conditions or material resources in your home, don’t feel that using them to win is not good. Those “starting from 0” stories seem to be arrogant and cool, but in reality it is a huge waste of resources. Despise.
·If you bring your own physique, you should take the top famous brand school and get along well with your classmates. They will be your valuable wealth in the future.
·If you don’t have anything, at least spend your time and energy on the highest rewards. When you realize that there are other better ways, after data verification, please re-plan and switch the runway instead of dying on the old road.
Xu Zhaofeng, a professor of economics at Peking University, said:
The value of an asset is always the discount of its future income, and the cost of past investment is the sunk cost, regardless of size does not affect the present value of the asset.
All decisions are made for future choices.
Cangjie knows etiquette.
Dreams, hobbies and making money often don’t conflict, but they have priorities.
Too many people who dream of going to work, the most annoying thing is that money is earned too little. On the contrary, those who are desperately making money have realized their dreams unconsciously.
