These years lay the foundation for an easier journey in the later stages when delving deeper into specialized courses and practical work.
Regarding job positions, guest speaker Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tan shared a new perspective with K23 students majoring in Automotive Engineering Technology. He explained that graduates in this field are not limited to technical roles like repair, manufacturing, assembly, and improving vehicle functions but can also venture into other exciting areas such as vehicle decoration and upgrades, vehicle consulting and sales, vehicle appraisals, and determining damages for car insurance.
Given that the field is known for its high post-graduation income potential, K23 students were also curious about this matter. To address these concerns, both guest speakers candidly discussed the average salary in the field at different stages: fresh graduates, 1-3 years of experience, and over 5 years of experience.
