專家建議：
選專業(yè)有技巧 宜早確定
由于中國的高考獨木橋使得無數(shù)優(yōu)秀學子在被大學錄取時，無法進入心儀的專業(yè)就讀，而不少大學應屆畢業(yè)生在參加工作時，也沒有選擇自己就讀的專業(yè)領域，因此長久以來，中國學生和家長對申請大學的專業(yè)并不在意。甚至有些家長存在這樣的觀念：“不管讀什么專業(yè)，只要孩子能上就好！”其實帶著這種觀念在進入美國大學學習，恰恰會讓孩子學得事倍功半。
啟德教育美國項目總監(jiān)、資深教育顧問張索娃分析說：“在美國大眾的普遍觀念里，大學教育只是實現(xiàn)未來職業(yè)規(guī)劃的一個途徑，拿本科文憑并非終目的。雖然美國大學實施通才教育，在大學前兩年只學習基礎課程，并不要求馬上確定專業(yè)，但如果要求轉系，如從文科轉理科或從工科轉商科，肯定會造成一定學分的浪費，也就是孩子學費和時間的浪費?！币虼怂ㄗh說，一旦中國學生確定去美國讀大學，專業(yè)宜早確定，而且好根據(jù)學生的興趣愛好和未來職業(yè)發(fā)展計劃來選擇。
同時，選專業(yè)要注重技巧。從前文中可以看出，金融專業(yè)畢業(yè)生的就業(yè)“錢”景頗佳，但正因如此，選擇該專業(yè)的優(yōu)秀學生也非常多。每年美國大學金融專業(yè)的錄取競爭都異常激烈。而中國學生比起其他金融體系發(fā)達國家的學生來說，對于金融服務領域的了解并不多，真正有豐富工作經(jīng)驗和專業(yè)知識的更少之又少，因此申請難度比較大。但如果選擇申請數(shù)學專業(yè)，同樣可以進入金融行業(yè)就職，中國學生在這方面的優(yōu)勢就大多了。
