1 I don't know whether you studied engineering industrial design or fine arts. I'm a senior now and I'm studying engineering industrial design. But to tell the truth, both engineering and art have their own advantages, and if they learn well, they will develop greatly;
Employment situation: industrial design work is still quite easy to find, and there is a great shortage of industrial design talents in China at present. The employment rate of students in our class is basically 100%, and it is quite easy to find a job, but to be honest, there is another big factor that we are a 985 college, but I don't think you should be discouraged. If the university works hard, it is difficult to find a job in this major. When looking for a job, it does have a lot to do with your school (this is a hidden rule), but it has nothing to do with your major being awesome in your school; You'd better consult your teacher's employment situation. If you want to find a particularly good job, I suggest you take an industrial design graduate (but don't take an examination of your school, you'd better take an examination of institutions like 985, 2 1 1, so that employment will be very popular; Because from the perspective of employment, there is little difference between graduate students and undergraduate students in the two universities)
3 Employment direction: Our teacher strongly advised us to do the work of automobile design at that time. He has worked in many units, as well as Geely and BMW Brilliance. He said that the industrial design of automobiles is the most promising. Our classmates basically went to the automobile unit, some signed Geely, some signed Chang 'an, and some signed the United States. The work direction is basically divided into modeling (hand drawing) and modeling (3d modeling); Probably now, there is an industrial design demand that is basically linked to industry;
4 salary, development prospect: my classmates are basically more than 2,000 yuan, five insurances and one gold (state-owned enterprise treatment). The treatment of private enterprises will be much higher, and private enterprises should look at individual abilities. If it develops well, it is normal for private enterprises to have 5000+; Our teacher said that industrial design in the south is relatively developed, and big cities are the first choice for cities. The more developed places pay more attention to industrial design, and there are many places to do foreign trade.
Five people think that universities need to focus on learning: I think this is still very important. Although you didn't ask, I would like to share it with you. I hope you take fewer detours. When recruiting for industrial design, the most important thing is to have a portfolio (very different from other majors). You must take part in more design competitions during your college years, preferably from your sophomore year to your junior year at the latest. Enterprises like students who have won prizes in design competitions. Even if they have not won prizes, your ability has improved a lot. Hand-painted universities should keep practicing. Many companies ask you to draw by hand at job fairs. Hand-drawing does not need to be superb, because industrial design is not a draftsman, but it is a basic skill. People with poor hand-drawing will have a much worse job. Software, ps must be able to (two-dimensional modification of software, we don't teach this in our school, we don't know the situation in your school, but we must learn it well), 3d, Solidworks, (three-dimensional software), and we must use it in our future work; There are many two-dimensional software and three-dimensional software, you can choose to study according to your school situation;
I know this roughly, if you have anything unclear, you can ask me.
