Why do many people discourage drone technology? What are the employment prospects for drone professionals?

UAVs are currently widely used in aerial photography, agricultural plant protection, express transportation, observation of wild animals, monitoring of infectious diseases, news reporting, film and television shooting and other fields, and the potential market space is huge. Professional-grade drones pay more attention to reliability, technological advancement, and load capacity, while consumer-grade drones pay more attention to the user experience and cost-effectiveness of the product. Due to different product positioning and target groups, the market capacity of consumer drone products will soon be saturated, and competition in the consumer drone market will become more intense in the future. Due to the diversification of application fields, the market size of professional drones is much larger than that of consumer drones. It is expected that there will be considerable development in the future, and the proportion of products will further increase.

A few students will use their vacations to work part-time at some drone application companies as part-time pilots to earn some pocket money or accumulate some commercial flying experience. Most students' part-time jobs may have nothing to do with drones. The reason is simple. Currently, the domestic drone application industry is beginning to be saturated with pilots. In layman's terms, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a job as a traditional pilot in the UAV application industry, because jobs in the UAV application industry have fallen from the original myth and are no longer the high-end positions they once were. . In fact, it is an ordinary technical job, which is somewhat similar to the excavator driving major in a technical school.

The application scope of UAV professional technology is getting wider and wider, the demand for talents is also increasing, and the requirements for technical skills are getting higher and higher, so the development prospects are unlimited. Being a drone business, startup, or individual practitioner is the same as any other industry. Opportunities are fair to many people, and it is not that easy to make a profit. In any industry, if the profit rate is higher than a certain level, other practitioners will inevitably join in, diluting and reducing your profits. If there are no technical barriers or market barriers, then all you can do is work hard to reduce costs and create new profit points, and get to the front of the industry.
