China: 7 out of the Top 10 are STEM majors, showing absolute dominance
中國：最受歡迎的10個專業(yè)中有7個是理工科專業(yè)
According to China University Alumni Association, among those who score well enough in China’s highly competitive exam system to get into university, 19.39% choose to study Economics and 19.06% select Business Management, which means business & management related majors account for almost half of the popular majors.
根據(jù)校友會的信息，通過中國競爭激烈的考試體系被大學錄取的學生當中，19.39%的人選擇經(jīng)濟學專業(yè)，19.06%的人選擇商務(wù)管理專業(yè)，這意味著經(jīng)管類專業(yè)幾乎占據(jù)了熱門專業(yè)的半壁江山。
The third most popular major in China is Informatics Engineering (6.87%) followed tightly by Law (6.53%). From No. 5 to No. 10, the most popular majors are almost all STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) majors such as Biological Sciences (5.93%), IT and Computer Sciences (5.72%), Architecture (3.84%), Physics (3.37%) and Automation Engineering (3.23%).
在中國熱度排行第三的專業(yè)是信息工程學專業(yè)(6.87%)，緊隨其后的是法學專業(yè)(6.53%)。排名第五到第十的熱門專業(yè)幾乎都是理工科(STEM代表科學、技術(shù)、工程學和數(shù)學)，包括生物科學(5.93%)、信息技術(shù)和計算機科學(5.72%)、建筑學(3.84%)、物理學(3.37%)和自動化工程學(3.23%)。
It’s not until No. 11 that some social science majors such as Chinese language and literature, foreign language studies and journalism appear.
直到第11名才開始出現(xiàn)一些社會科學類專業(yè)，比如漢語言文學、外國語和新聞學專業(yè)。
Chinese higher education emphasizes STEM education due to historical reasons.
中國高等教育重視理工科是有其歷史原因的。
When the Chinese started their reform and opening-up policy in the 1980s, the country urgently needed scientific professionals for industrial development, and the Chinese preference for STEM is rooted in that period.
上世紀80年代中國開始實施改革開放政策時，國家急需科技人才來發(fā)展工業(yè)，中國人對于理工科的偏好就是從那時候開始的。
"Master mathematics, physics and chemistry, you can find a position all over the country” was one of the most famous national slogans.
當時全國有一句非常有名的口號叫：“學好數(shù)理化，走遍天下都不怕�！�
US: Health, Psychology, Biology, American students like to explore human beings

接下來是教育學(10萬2219個學位)等社會科學專業(yè)，傳播學專業(yè)(9萬8949個學位)和財會專業(yè)(9萬8663個學位)二者的熱度沒什么差別。
A little bit surprisingly, Anthropology and Sociology (57,630) beat Computer Science (55,843) and have moved into the top 10.
有點意外的是，人類學與社會學(5萬7630個學位)打敗了計算機科學(5萬5843個學位)，躋身前 十。
The trends in prevailing college majors in the US connect directly to the average starting salary.
美國熱門專業(yè)的潮流和平均起薪直接相關(guān)。
Graduates with a degree in Business Administration receive $41,245 as a starting salary with an average mid-career salary of $70,694.00, higher than the average level of compensation of graduates in any other major, which is the biggest motivation that drives not only American students but most youngsters around the world.

The traditional high demand for medical services has helped to spur the popularity of medical and health-related programs.
對于醫(yī)療服務(wù)的傳統(tǒng)高需求提升了醫(yī)學和健康相關(guān)專業(yè)的熱度。
According to market research, doctors and nurses almost never face the unemployment issue: even when economic crises take place, medical workers usually are able to keep their jobs.
市場調(diào)查顯示，醫(yī)生和護士幾乎不用擔心失業(yè)問題：即使發(fā)生經(jīng)濟危機，醫(yī)療工作者通常也能保住自己的工作。
Notably, in the US, a general psychology degree will open doors for students to find jobs in social work, marketing and human resources, similar to Education and Communications.
值得注意的是，在美國，一個普通心理學學位和教育學、傳播學學位一樣，能讓學生找到社會工作、市場營銷和人力資源方面的工作。
