Hello everyone, I am handsome.
In Shuaidi's training camp, there are also many students of the 26th class, but the freshman year is about to pass, and some schools only start to subdivide their majors after the freshman year or sophomore year, including some students who want to change their majors. You need to choose a subdivision direction, and now many schools have opened artificial intelligence, and many teachers have advised everyone to enter the artificial intelligence major...
Artificial intelligence sounds so powerful that many students will choose artificial intelligence, but in fact, from the perspective of work, choosing soft engineering or computer science is far better than artificial intelligence.
For example, the students in the training camp a while ago were struggling to choose soft engineering and artificial intelligence.
I personally think that if you want to take a computer-related position in the future, as an undergraduate, laying the foundation, learning algorithms, and practicing more are the most important. After all, it is a computer, and learning the underlying principles of a computer is a must.
As long as you have learned these well, no matter what position you are in, you will learn very quickly. Although it is said that in undergraduates, artificial intelligence and the like will also learn the basics of computers, but I think the learning is still too complicated, not as pure as software engineering.
Next, let me briefly talk about work and education.
Job: Artificial intelligence positions, companies basically don’t need undergraduates.
If you are in school, the teacher may tell you that artificial intelligence is so hot, but the teacher may not tell you how competitive this thing is, and as far as I know , Basically no undergraduates are recruited. I remember that in my class of 2020, 99% were graduate students. Now that it is 2023, the requirements will definitely be higher.
So I think that even if you want to take a position in artificial intelligence in the future, it is necessary for you to go to graduate school, then you can choose a direction related to artificial intelligence when you are in graduate school, and most of them are in graduate school. It is the direction of this kind of artificial intelligence, then you can focus more on learning and writing papers.
Of course, you can also write papers as an undergraduate, but as far as I know, many undergraduate papers are actually relatively poor. For most people, it is more practical to learn the basics honestly, work on algorithms, and do projects.
Don’t choose artificial intelligence without a good degree.
Nowadays, companies value resumes for artificial intelligence positions, top papers, education, internships in large factories, and competitions. You must occupy at least two of these four, otherwise even if you have a 985 degree, you will not No, in the recent school recruitment, a bunch of 985 graduate students were transferred from artificial intelligence positions to development positions.
Of course, I am here to discuss positions with you, just to tell you that if your school is very good, for example, if you are a double-female, then what artificial intelligence major should you choose as an undergraduate.
Anyway, I have been exposed to several second books, I chose artificial intelligence, and then spent a lot of time on artificial intelligence-related learning, and I have not learned much about other engineering capabilities.
To be honest, many weak schools open artificial intelligence, which is a KPI, so as to attract others to enroll in the school, so that teachers can have topics to do, but for students, these are actually useless.
After all, most of these relatively backward schools have relatively few students studying for graduate studies. Most undergraduates may be engaged in testing, operation and maintenance positions. After all, development positions are becoming more and more difficult now.
Summary
Of course, from the perspective of job hunting and postgraduate study, in fact, in the computer industry, you mainly rely on self-study. Otherwise, you can see that many non-scientific jobs are better than professional ones, so if you choose artificial intelligence as a major , In fact, don’t worry, because it is not because you have the wrong major, but because you didn’t plan your university well and study hard.
However, since most of them are ordinary people, if you are struggling to choose artificial intelligence or software engineering, I personally recommend that you choose software engineering, and after that, lay a solid foundation, learn algorithms, do projects, and find internships!

Finally, welcome to join Shuaidi's training camp. In fact, there are many learning routes/materials in various aspects, and everyone learns the same things, so it is more about who learns more efficiently, especially those who are in a hurry. After all, many online Big mess, joining the training camp will definitely make you run faster. In training camp, Shuai will
1. Based on various factors such as your education background and existing foundation, the nanny class will give you 1-on-1 planning of the learning route. You only need to follow along with peace of mind, and leave the rest to Shuaidi.
2. Systematize training camp materials, system course => special interview course => algorithm assault course = "project => resume/interview one-stop service arrangement, allowing you to spend all your time on learning, such as completing the project, What the project asks, how to write is ready.
3. Shuaidi will conduct mock interviews in the training camp every week, so that everyone can feel what the next interview will ask in advance.
4. There are too many, so I won’t talk about it. In short, Shuai will lead everyone at the nanny level, and can provide you with internship certificates when needed.
This will be your most important investment in years! , the specific details can be seen here: From 0 to 1, a back-end training camp that takes you to offer
