More than 2 years ago, the concept of education was still very narrow, and practitioners probably specifically referred to kindergarten, primary and secondary school university teachers and doctoral tutors; Today's education is a very broad industry, and the industry is highly subdivided, and the prospects are still very promising.
Taking age as the ladder, education includes preschool, primary school, middle school, high school, university, adult on-the-job education, university for the aged, etc. From the content dimension, education can be subdivided into artistic specialty education, emotional intelligence training of physical character, language education, remedial training, study abroad education, vocational skills education, etc. From the form and carrier, education includes offline and online.
Here, I would like to focus on several educational market segments that I think are more promising.
first, online education. With the network becoming more and more convenient, online vocational skills online courses, tutoring online courses, online English training for children and online programming online courses for children have become very popular in recent years, and you can even browse the world's major museums online. In 219, it is the outlet of the enlightenment education of online English and online mathematical thinking for young children. Network education has broken through the limitations of geography, teachers' conditions and the number of students, making learning a matter of anytime and anywhere. I enrolled my two-year-old baby in an elementary English course for young children, and the children liked it very much.
second, study abroad. This is a blue ocean market. With the increase of wealthy families in China, more and more parents consider studying abroad, and the number of students studying abroad is increasing year by year.
In the past, people's concept of studying abroad was to find an intermediary to run it, but if you want to apply for a good university, it is not as simple as finding an intermediary. This is a complete system, from the background promotion of study abroad planning and activity planning, to standardized counseling, language training and AP training, to document guidance, interview training and visa guidance. Large institutions can do a complete market from front to back, and small studios can find a module to specialize.
At present, practitioners are all half-way monks, and the good and the bad are mixed. It is reported that a university in Shandong has taken the lead in setting up the major of study abroad planning, but it is a general trend for those who have studied abroad to return to China to engage in study abroad education. Therefore, this is a market segment with relatively high entry threshold. Of course, the return is also relatively high.
Third, the re-education of adults and the elderly. Adults can improve themselves, and the elderly can cultivate themselves. It is true that parents have never been soft on paying for their children's studies, but now education is not limited to children. Nowadays, education runs through life, the pace of world change is getting faster and faster, and lifelong learning is the mainstream trend, which is the anxiety and pressure brought by the times. As long as you have a skill or unique opinion in a certain field, you will have the opportunity to become a teacher who is taught by the profession. I think this part of the market demand will also grow. I have signed up for many online courses and offline training for personal improvement, and I also plan to learn calligraphy and painting.
The education market is finely divided, and the overall prospect is good. If you want to join the field of education, you can choose your field by combining the development space, technical content, personal characteristics and interests.
Personally, I once regretted not being a university teacher, because I envied winter and summer vacations. But now, if you want to cut into the education industry, as long as it is not a traditional field, you still have opportunities at any time, as long as you have expertise, as long as you are professional enough.
