What are the most suitable majors for international students?

Now the employment situation is tense. What is the best major to study in the United States? Bian Xiao from Tiandao compiled some information about studying in the United States. Let's take a look at students who want to study in the United States!

First, physics major

Physics is a major that is easy to go abroad, and the major graduate schools in the United States are short of physics talents, so it is easier to get scholarships. But the way out for physics majors is worrying. Excellent students who study theoretical physics can take some financial courses if they have a good foundation in mathematics and physics and the economic situation is good. After graduation, you can go to financial institutions for quantitative analysis, and your annual salary can reach 654.38+0.5 million to 300 thousand dollars. If you want academic research, physics professors generally need 1 2 rounds of postdoctoral experience, as well as academic contacts and excellent research articles. Students in some fields of physics can also go to the basic research departments of GE and other companies, with an annual salary of more than 70,000.

Second, chemistry major

Chemistry is also an industry that is easy to go abroad. The employment prospects in the United States are quite good. Among them, pharmaceutical companies that are most exposed to organic chemistry, such as Pfizer and Lilly, have a starting salary of $80,000-$90,000 for doctors and $50,000-$70,000 for masters. However, organic chemistry is harmful to health. At the same time, in order to go to a good pharmaceutical company, we should pay attention to accumulate many skills during our study, such as writing, language, attending academic seminars in the industry and meeting people in the industry. Analytical chemistry can also go to pharmaceutical companies, analytical instrument companies and so on. The employment of inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry is slightly narrow, but the chemistry as a whole is still good, because the chemical and chemical industry is relatively large, and many large companies need chemical talents, such as DuPont, Dow Chemical, ge, BP, Shell, ExxonMobil and so on.

Third, mathematics major

It is easy for students majoring in mathematics to go abroad and have good employment prospects. You can go to finance, insurance, banking, real estate, credit card, medicine and other industries in the future. The annual salary of doctors is more than 80 thousand to 6.5438+0.5 thousand dollars. Many excellent mathematics doctors can become assistant professors directly without being postdoctoral fellows. Everything is determined by the relationship between supply and demand in America.

Fourth, the major of statistics.

Statistics major has a good employment prospect, and you can go to pharmaceutical, consulting and financial industries. Master's annual salary is mostly 60 thousand to 80 thousand dollars.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) biology major

It is easy for biological science to go abroad, but the employment opportunities are in dire straits. First of all, the research method is primitive and has many physical components. Secondly, the homework is very heavy, and it takes almost 70 hours a week to produce results. It is difficult to find a job with a master's degree in biology. A doctor must be a low-paid and insecure postdoctoral fellow (with an annual salary of $36,000 to $48,000) to join a company or become a professor. Most students in China lacked understanding of biology before embarking on this road. Even excellent students in the United States generally have to work hard for many years from doctoral graduation to professor. Some top doctors majoring in biology can enter well-known consulting companies after graduation, such as McKinsey and BCG, but this is definitely limited to a few universities such as MIT and Harvard.

6. Computer and Telecommunications Science Computer Science Major

There are many related fields in this major, most of which have good employment situation, such as software, database, network, hardware, chip, wireless communication and so on. Even in a very theoretical industry, the employment prospects are not bad. IT industry is a mature scale industry, which can absorb a large number of high-quality talents. Most general doctoral graduates go to big companies to do scientific research, with an annual salary of $6.5438+10,000. Master graduates are more developers with an annual salary of 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars. IT industry is still the mainstream of American science and technology. Among the undergraduate and graduate students at MIT, 50% are ECE majors, electronic and computer engineering.

Seven, engineering specialty

Most engineering students can find suitable jobs in America. Among them, biomedical engineering, telecommunications/computer engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and petroleum are relatively easy to find employment, while civil engineering, materials, nuclear energy and aerospace are relatively difficult to find employment. There are few infrastructure projects in the United States, but nuclear energy, aerospace and other majors are restricted by nationality. Most students in these majors have found IT-related jobs through their engineering and computer backgrounds. The top engineering students in the United States sometimes do not necessarily do engineering, but choose to invest in industry, venture capital, invention investment, etc., and their income will be much higher, reaching more than $65,438 +0.5 million.
