There is no need to worry about the talent gap when looking for a job in this major. The income of millions is considerable!
CCTV News:A few days ago, in the list of new majors in colleges and universities announced by the Ministry of Education, 32 colleges and universities became the second batch of universities that successfully applied for the new undergraduate major of "Data Science and Big Data Technology". Big data standing on the "window" of the Internet has directly spurred the big data major in universities.
The first batch of three universities successfully applied for this major, namely Peking University, university of international business and economics and Central South University, which were approved by the Ministry of Education in February 2016.
What do you major in "Big Data"?
Three major technical directions in the field of big data:
Direction 1: Hadoop (a method of storing massive data and running distributed analysis applications on distributed server clusters) big data development direction.
Direction 2: data mining, data analysis & machine learning direction
Direction 3: Big Data Operation and Maintenance & Cloud Computing Direction
Those who are proficient in any direction will have unlimited "money".
Among the three directions, big data development is the foundation.Taking hadoop development engineers as an example, the monthly salary of Hadoop entry has reached more than 8K, the monthly salary of working for one year can reach more than 1.2W, and the annual salary of Hadoop talents with 2-3 years of working experience can reach 300,000 — 500 thousandGenerally, companies that need big data processing are basically big companies, so learning big data is also a shortcut to big companies!
Policies were introduced in various places to support the development of big data industry.
Fujian:
A few days ago, the Xiamen Municipal Government issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Big Data Development in Xiamen". Xiamen will take the open development of government big data as the guide to promote the deep integration of big data technology and social and economic applications.
Shanxi:
On March 16th, 2017, Shanxi announced the Development Plan of Big Data in Shanxi Province (2017-2020), Several Policies for Promoting the Development and Application of Big Data in Shanxi Province and the Action Plan for Promoting the Development and Application of Big Data in Shanxi Province in 2017. By 2020, the output value of big data related industries in Shanxi will reach more than 100 billion yuan.
Guizhou:
On March 16th, 2017, Guiyang issued the draft of "Three-year Action Plan for the Application of Big Data Tourism in Guiyang", proposing that by 2019, the city will build 3 to 5 smart tourism demonstration enterprises, introduce and cultivate 5 to 10 big data tourism enterprises, and the output value of tourism big data related industries will reach 20 billion yuan, and the tourism format will gradually transform into comprehensive and integrated.
Guangxi:
A few days ago, Guangxi issued the Notice on Organizing the Application for the Pilot Demonstration Project of Industrial Cloud and Industrial Big Data in 2017. The province will actively promote the pilot demonstration application of industrial cloud and industrial big data, and encourage leading enterprises in the industry to establish a pilot demonstration platform for industrial cloud and industrial big data.
The talent gap of big data reached 1.5 million.
Major universities have started the cultivation of big data talents in full swing, which is due to a large number of related talent gaps born in the era of big data.
According to a detailed analysis report issued by McKinsey, the world’s top management consulting firm,It is estimated that by 2018, the job demand of big data or data workers will surge, with the gap between 140,000 and 190,000 for big data scientists and 1,500,000 for analysts and managers who know how to use big data to make decisions!
What do you do after graduating from "Big Data" major?
In fact, big data workers can exert their fists and feet in a wide range of fields, from the Ministry of National Defense, Internet startups to financial institutions, and big data projects are needed everywhere to drive innovation. The post of data analysis or data processing is also very rewarding. In Silicon Valley, the income of entry-level data scientists is already 6 figures (USD).
At present, all kinds of universities and higher vocational colleges in China have started to study and apply for big data specialty. As an interdisciplinary subject, the related courses of big data involve knowledge of mathematics, statistics and computers, and the major of "Data Science and Big Data Technology" also emphasizes the cultivation of big data talents with interdisciplinary ability.
