Looking for a new emerging major that meets both the criteria of "passion" and "trend"

When choosing a major, in the past, you could only choose one of two - that is, pursuing a passion or following a trend; now, there are many new majors that meet both of these criteria.

Wondering when choosing a major: Pursuing passion or obeying parents?

Until now, the story of choosing a major and future orientation has never been easy for young people at the end of high school. Moreover, many young people also find it difficult to choose between their favorite majors or obeying their families' wishes.

Choosing your passionate major or what your parents want?

Parents often think that children should choose a safe, stable career that has many job opportunities. Therefore, many parents choose to orient their children to economics, technology,... and do not support them to pursue their own passion for arts fields such as design, painting, singing ...

In many cases, as children do not want to go against their family, they obediently choose a school according to their parents' wishes. Still, the study process after that turns out to have no interest, leading to downgrading academic results, not keeping up with their peers and eventually losing their own passions. 

Choose a major that meets both trends and allows you to pursue your passion?

The stories of disagreements when choosing a career between parents and children have long been challenging to resolve. However, currently, there are many combined majors, which meet the trend, bring high income, and nurture your passion. 

Solutions for young people to balance both "passion" and "trend"

If you have a passion for art, design, painting, and wish to have a stable job, high income as expected by your parents, then the major in Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City is an ideal choice, helping you to get many job opportunities in the future.

The architectural profession can hardly be said to be a new profession. However, when Architecture is combined with Smart Urban Design, it becomes a brand new profession, extremely "hot" and has many chances to develop.
