In the first week of 2024, the civil engineering major will be on the hot search list for universities nationwide. Firstly, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics revoked the category of Master's degree in Civil Engineering and Water Resources, and then Tsinghua University debunked rumors and suspended enrollment in Civil Engineering, merging it into a major category for enrollment. The once popular civil engineering major has gradually become a "sinkhole" in people's mouths in recent years. Previously, "those with high scores" have entered, but now enrollment is booming. The "sweet cake" in the eyes of parents has become an embarrassing situation of "running away with a bucket". The huge contrast in civil engineering majors also reflects the dilemma of the withdrawal of university majors. Is enrollment cold and students switch careers upon graduation? In the 2023 high school recruitment season, a candidate who missed out on the civil engineering major at Guangzhou University with a score of 453 caused a sensation online. Compared to previous years, the lowest score and lowest ranking of this major have both experienced a significant decline. Civil engineering majors have been neglected, and in recent years, it has not been an isolated event. According to the 2023 High School Entrance Examination Survey Report released by China Education Online, the scores of civil engineering majors in most universities across the country have shown a significant decline, with admission scores (rankings) showing varying degrees of decline. Tongji University's admission ranking in Shandong has dropped by more than 400, while China University of Geosciences (Beijing) has seen a drop of nearly 5000 positions in its total enrollment, while Sichuan University and Hunan University have fallen by 1069 and 2771 positions respectively. "The development of any industry has its own cycle. In the past two to three years, the sluggish real estate market has led traditional civil engineering majors to fall into the confusion of development solidification and cognitive bias." Staff members from the Propaganda Department of Guangzhou University have responded that some parents and members of society have misconceptions about the professional needs of the civil engineering industry, resulting in many information asymmetry issues in society and online promotion. Yuan Feng, who is engaged in the operation of civil engineering self media communities, believes that the reason for this situation is actually due to the gradual feedback of job market information to university voluntary applications. He said that in recent years, some students majoring in civil engineering have faced challenges in employment, and many students are not willing to pursue traditional career paths. The proportion of graduates changing careers is increasing. Chen Xueqi, a recent master's graduate majoring in civil engineering at Xiamen University, is an example. He has studied civil engineering for seven years, and the most suitable job for his major is construction design. However, because of his interest and industry reasons, he did not do the relevant work. After successively doing consulting internships in real estate, he signed the channel sales position of an Internet factory. In a program, Zhang Xuefeng, a renowned graduate entrance exam teacher, once referred to this behavior as "climbing a pit.". Chen Xueqi revealed that as graduation approached, not many of their classmates were working in their respective majors. They either went to real estate companies for non construction jobs, or to stable state-owned and central enterprises, as well as those who took civil service exams, received training, and became teachers. During the postgraduate entrance examination, the proportion of civil engineering students taking cross exams is also increasing. On the internet, civil engineers use a word to describe this situation - "running away with a bucket". Has it really become a "sinkhole" major? It seems that various phenomena point to the fact that civil engineering is becoming a "sinkhole" profession. But some people also believe that this is just a phased phenomenon faced by the transformation and upgrading of traditional civil engineering majors. I graduated at 60
