These are the professions predicted to have high labor demand and high salaries in the next 5 years; graduates will be highly sought after wherever they go.

Before considering what to study to earn a high salary, a common question among students is: What major should I study to minimize the risk of unemployment? While passion and ability are important factors in choosing a major, to avoid spending four years studying only to struggle to find a job, students can consider the following fields with labor shortages to have more opportunities after graduating and embarking on a new life journey.

After the high school graduation exam, choosing a major is a common concern for many students.

Several sectors, such as information technology, digital marketing, tourism and hospitality, beauty services, and basic sciences; as well as fundamental industries like mechanical engineering, mechatronics, and automation, are predicted by many experts to have high demand for human resources in the near future.

1. Information Technology

Information technology is the infrastructure of all infrastructures; other economic and social sectors develop based on the foundation of information technology. In Vietnam, the demand for experts in this field is extremely fierce. This sector is experiencing a shortage of high-quality human resources, requiring approximately 400,000 additional personnel each year.

2. Hotel and Tourism Services Industry

In reality, many young people are still worried that studying tourism is a risky choice because the pandemic is still ongoing and the risk of unemployment is high. However, according to many experts, tourism is currently heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, but when life returns to normal, this sector will boom. In the future, the tourism industry promises to "revive" and continue to develop.

According to statistics, Tourism Business Administration is one of the high-paying professions. Those who study this field are promised stable careers.

3. Beauty, aesthetics, and health services industry

Besides tourism and leisure, industries related to beauty, aesthetics, and health have become essential needs for most people in Vietnam and around the world. This field requires a genuine passion and a certain aptitude to fully develop your abilities and advance your career.

Currently, formal training in this field is not well-developed in Vietnam; mainly vocational and beauty centers provide good training.

4. Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

Previously, Vietnam was primarily an importer of automobiles, and its mechanical engineering expertise was quite limited. However, since Vingroup invested in building a factory and launching the Vinfast brand, Vietnam has been recognized on the global automotive industry map. The demand from Vietnamese and international businesses for highly qualified engineers in this field has never ceased.

The average salary for an automotive engineer ranges from 10 to 15 million VND for those with little experience. For automotive engineers with 3 to 5 years of experience, the salary ranges from 17 to 25 million VND per month.

5. E-commerce

E-commerce is a form of online business that uses information technology platforms with the support of the Internet to conduct online transactions, exchanges, and payments. Job opportunities in the e-commerce industry are very high because this sector is projected to require a large workforce in the future.

Compared to other professions, salaries in the e-commerce industry are quite high. Fresh graduates with little experience can expect salaries ranging from 7 to 9 million VND per month. Furthermore, depending on skills, position, and work experience, salaries can be higher, ranging from 10 to 20 million VND per month.

6. Doctors – Pharmacists

Regardless of the era, the medical field always needs personnel to treat people's illnesses.

Regardless of the era, the medical field always needs personnel to treat people. According to the Ministry of Health's human resource development plan for the healthcare system, approximately 10,887 university-trained pharmacists and 83,851 nurses need to be added, totaling 301 medical professionals with college or university degrees or higher. In the coming years, the medical field will require even more qualified personnel in this profession.

7. Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is marketing (including developing marketing strategies, planning, implementing, and measuring marketing results) primarily in a digital environment. In the rapidly expanding digital age, almost every company needs this department to promote its products through digital channels.

According to forecasts from the Ho Chi Minh City Human Resources Center, the demand for marketing professionals in the city alone is 10,000 people per year.

To understand the profession, candidates need to focus on examining labor market trends. In the near future, it's possible to predict what that profession will be like in the next 4 years or even 10 years from now in the context of the 4.0 revolution. Next, one needs to consider their passion, interests, abilities, and strengths, balancing them with the local workforce needs.

Family factors such as economic conditions also need to be considered and balanced when choosing a major. Personal health and aptitude also impact future career choices. Studying a field that matches your abilities will help you thrive, leading to better results. Opportunities for development and future career prospects will also broaden accordingly.
