01 Cannabis Research Major

Recommendation Index:

Related Universities: McGill University, Cornell University, Oaksterdam University, Northern Michigan University

Cannabis research may sound like Breaking Bad, but don’t worry, the school will only let students work in the laboratory, not even Let students grow their own cannabis.

Cornell University’s “Cannabis Studies” course focuses on teaching the history, culture, pharmacology and related legal issues of cannabis.

From an employment perspective, because medical marijuana is now very common, the demand for legal marijuana will be growing in the future. There is a considerable shortage of talent in areas such as cannabis research, cultivation, corporate production, distribution and sales. But to be honest, not every city has a cannabis industry, so Octopus should be more rigorous and give it 2 stars on the recommendation index.

02 Funeral major

Related institutions: University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

This may be a major that makes you alienate everyone. After all, everyone pays attention to auspiciousness, and no one wants to deal with trivial matters all day long. Moreover, many funerals in China have a "one-stop service" culture. When you first hear that there are funeral professionals, your aunts and wives may look like old men on the subway looking at their mobile phones and ask you: "Why do you still blow the trumpet?" Want to go to college? ""Why do you have to go abroad to go to college when you play the trumpet?"

Octopus is here to help you... No, Octopus is here to explain to you.

First of all, the funeral major is definitely not about learning how to "blow the trumpet." The main courses of the funeral major include: funeral planning, appreciation of ancient sacrificial texts, funeral etiquette, funeral psychology, funeral management, funeral service negotiation, funeral service marketing, Funeral practical articles, life culture, funeral ethics, funeral folk culture, etc.

Employment positions include: funeral home managers at all levels, funeral product distribution, business operation and management positions, funeral administration and management of social security and other government departments, etc.

With the aging of the population, the demand for funeral services is also increasing year by year. Coupled with the shortage of talents in this area, the employment rate and wages are very impressive.

In addition, Octopus believes that the funeral profession is actually a very sacred profession. In addition to filling employment needs, its significance also lies in making people rethink their understanding and association of death and their admiration for the current green civilization funeral method.

But then again, it does take a lot of courage to choose this major. If you are brave enough and can withstand the prejudice and pressure of people around you and the risk of not being able to find a partner, then you can try this. Sacred profession.

03 Clown Major

Recommendation Index:

Related Universities: University of Lyon 2, France

There is no clown profession in China, and many friends may not know much about this culture, but in fact, clowns in European and American countries are equivalent to clowns in Chinese opera performances, jugglers in street performances, and crosstalk sketch actors. It is also a university subject and has many practitioners and enthusiasts.

In the West, clowning is a formal profession and is regarded as a very academic matter by many universities.

The one-year clown master's program at the University of Lyon 2 in France not only teaches the theory and practice of clown performance such as physical performance, pronunciation training, rhythm and rhythm, but also teaches anthropology and sociology. and economics courses.

If you have known and loved Chinese comedy culture, you can try to integrate and discuss Chinese and Western comedy culture by learning the Western clown profession.
