With the release of college entrance examination scores from various regions, candidates and parents are also busy choosing majors and schools. Recently, the funeral profession has also sparked heated discussions with a "nearly 100% employment rate". Will there be popular career prospects for unpopular majors? Is it really popular? Students majoring in funeral and interment are in class. In recent years, not only has the funeral industry been brought into the public eye by film and television works, but funeral education has also received increasing attention. According to media reports, Zhao Yu, a teacher at Chongqing Urban Management Vocational College, stated in a recent interview that the employment rate of modern funeral technology and management majors at the school can basically reach 100%. The admission score has exceeded the undergraduate admission score for three consecutive years, and since 2020, the number of students applying for this major has sharply increased. At present, there are 8 secondary and higher vocational colleges in China that have funeral majors, including 5 higher vocational colleges, namely, Changsha Social Work College, Anhui Urban Management Vocational College, Chongqing Urban Management Vocational College, Wuhan Civil Affairs Vocational College, and Beijing Social Management Vocational College. Regarding the employment rate provided by the respondents, teachers from multiple universities mentioned above have disclosed to the public that the employment rate of this major is almost 100%. The reporter noticed that the professional introduction of Beijing Social Management Vocational College also mentioned that the employment rate of this major has exceeded 95% for two consecutive years, and the employment prospects are broad.
