Factors to consider before registering for the 2026 enrollment season
Each enrollment season, hundreds of majors and training programs are announced by educational institutions, causing many students to be confused when making choices. According to Dr. Le Danh Quang - Vice Rector of Hanoi High-Tech College, one of the most common mistakes today is choosing a major according to trends without carefully researching.
“Because it is searched a lot on online platforms, many people naturally think that it is a hot industry. However, being noticed online does not necessarily reflect the actual needs of the labor market. Even industries that are considered truly hot are not sure to maintain their attractiveness for another 5-7 years” - Dr. Quang said.
Besides, many students still have a mentality of choosing a major based on their level of fame, the advertised salary, or according to the choices of friends, without really understanding whether that major is suitable for them.
Those are the mistakes students need to avoid when choosing a career so as not to regret it later" - Dr. Quang advised. See more...
