about the concept of major. You can casually search for the two majors of financial engineering and international trade on the Internet, and you will get more than n introductions about these two majors, and you feel difficult to choose among a piece of professional enrollment information of the school.
I won't explain the concepts I can find, but I'll tell you what happened to these two majors with my personal experience.
First of all, starting from the similarities between the two majors, both majors are economic disciplines, and both of them graduated with bachelor's degrees in economics. Generally speaking, it is a popular major in a school, and the score of international trade has been the highest in the school enrollment score in recent years. Financial engineering depends on the school. The better the school, the higher the score.
Secondly, there are many differences between the two majors.
1. Curriculum:
The financial engineering course is mainly based on economics+mathematics+computer application.
international trade is a course of economic foundation+English application+marketing.
This is a general induction. To put it more simply, the former emphasizes science while the latter emphasizes liberal arts.
2. Employment direction:
The most appropriate direction of financial engineering is funds, futures and investment banks (securities companies in China);
the most suitable direction of international trade is multinational companies, economic and trade companies and other enterprises related to international economic cooperation and business.
Finally, prepare to talk incoherently about a bunch of so-called experiences. Let me tell you a little, I studied financial engineering, so I won't reveal the name of the school. I guess you may not know-_-! ! !
judging from your topic, it may include the assumption that (after studying hard in college, you will rely on your professional knowledge to engage in the most appropriate industry after graduation). I have mentioned the right direction above. Relatively speaking, the content of financial engineering major covers the content of finance, and the corresponding mathematical courses have been added. Therefore, in terms of employment, it can also be various financial institutions and enterprises related to finance (banks, insurance companies, securities department of XX company, investment department, etc.); The biggest advantage of international trade major lies in language, and the companies that can find jobs can be other companies closely related to language besides those mentioned above.
Generally speaking, what financial engineering has learned in the undergraduate stage is only a scratch, and the curriculum of many schools is unreasonable, because it is too difficult. If you really want to learn something, you must have at least a master's degree or above. Judging from the employment situation, if you want to do research in the most appropriate fund companies and investment banks, the undergraduate level is far from enough. This is not only a question of high threshold, but also a question of competence. Realistically speaking (basically no enterprise wants you to be an undergraduate to do research), if you are only engaged in non-research work, then you have some advantages in mathematics and physics compared with the general finance major, but it is not particularly obvious.
to put it simply, international trade is available in almost every school. I really don't feel anything special, and the score is often the highest. You must be cautious when applying for this major. If you want to apply, you'd better be at the front, otherwise writing at the back is tantamount to writing in vain. One advantage of studying this major is that you will be forced to practice English well, otherwise you will not even think about textbooks or even graduate if you don't study well (you will be motivated if you are under pressure, so don't miss it if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder). In terms of employment, this major is really extensive. To put it bluntly, there is no special professional advantage. You are good at English, and others who study other majors have an advantage over you as long as their English is good. In terms of marketing, it depends on talent and understanding.
finally, make a concluding statement of the above nonsense.
Financial engineering is a science, and we should learn advanced mathematics and computer at the university level. International trade is a liberal arts, and the main headache is to face a pile of tadpoles and guess the true meaning of their writers.
in terms of employment, it's nothing more than sitting in an office and running errands. If your choice is financial engineering, and you want to sit in an office and do research in the future, then it is recommended to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as possible and try to get into a good university. After all, financial engineering talents are relatively rare. Other people who are engaged in ordinary non-research work, to put it bluntly, depend on you personally, and have little to do with your major. As for which major you will have, it has been mentioned many times.
Personal accumulation is very important, unless you want to get a computer to be an otaku at home and live on your skills, the ability to communicate with others is still very important. Keep good interpersonal relationships and pay attention to participating in school and social practice activities. No matter which major you study, you should learn English well, because there are still many places to use it. In addition, there are many professional-related certificates, so you should fail all these things if you can take the exam. The above things are all aimed at majors. As for the non-professional part, we can only rely on hard work, don't be limited by majors, and pay attention to cultivating other abilities. To put it bluntly, passing professional grades is enough, mainly depending on ability, but on the other hand, what ability can a college student have? Don't say that you were misled by me. Good grades are still very important. Many regular units prefer serious students. After all, it represents an attitude problem of you.
Let's talk about the employment prospects mentioned in the title. This is uncertain. It can only be said that there is not much difference between the two majors. It can only be said that everyone has different opinions. No one can be sure what will happen four years later. For example, I was sure that the financial industry was still strong after four years. Who would have thought that the financial storm would break out at this time? Choose a favorite major to apply for, at least you choose it yourself, employment prospects and life planning, and then slowly explore it when you enter the university. After 4 years, you will find your own way in the end. I'll throw a cold water on you in advance, and your chosen major may not be the same as you think, hehe. Just adjust your mentality. After all, the school curriculum is limited. If you find that the school curriculum can't meet your own study, go to the library more. Anyway, learn this thing. We can learn what we really want. Whether the teacher can bring you what you want is an external factor. Email me if you don't understand anything.
Last but not least, I seriously ask for extra points! ! !
