北京大学生物学教授蔡晓明提醒学生，许多人选专业只是随大流，并未与该专业领域的老师或从业者交流沟通，对于这些专业他们知之甚少。

　　“Some consider the biology major to be of little use as you can hardly earn big money; others think they can go abroad with this major,” he said. “Both are unrealistic.”

　　“一些学生认为生物专业几乎没什么用，很难赚大钱;另一些学生则认为选择该专业将来可以出国。”他说，“这两种想法都有些不切实际。”

　　Students should be patient and not make any hasty decisions. Some universities offer double majors, or even triple majors, if you really can’t decide.

　　学生们应该耐下心来，切忌草率做出决定。如果你真的难以抉择，一些大学还开设了双学位甚至三学位课程。

　　Hao Jian, a senior human resources consultant at Zhaopin.com, a leading HR service site, says that a college major is important for a person’s first job after graduation.

　　智联招聘高级人力资源顾问郝建表示认为，大学专业对学生毕业后的第一份工作至关重要。

　　But he also points out that studies show most people change careers four or five times in their lives.

　　但他也指出，相关研究表明，大多数人在一生中要换四至五次职业。

　　“No existing major can prepare you for that,” he said. “And you should believe that all things you learn on campus will be of help at some point in your life.”

　　“没有任何现有专业可以为此做准备，”他说道，“你要相信，你在学校所学的一切都会在生命中的某些时刻助你一臂之力。”
