Hello, I'm Flower, and I'm thrilled to be here!
In the questioner's text, the pros and cons of different options are carefully analyzed. When faced with a choice, we will be very torn, perhaps because we are worried that no matter which one we choose, we will regret it. We are worried that the one we didn't choose is better, so we hesitate and feel uneasy, especially when it comes to direction. This is normal and it's okay!
The road to the college entrance exam is an exciting one! You get to choose between the art exam or the regular college entrance exam. This will directly affect your future direction of employment.
So, the big question is: should you choose "ideals" or "making a living"? It's a tough call, but we also need to look at these ideals and realities and strike a balance between them.
If you choose the general college entrance examination of physics, chemistry, and biology, you're in for a treat!
"But I really, really like biology. Not only that, after experiencing the COVD-19 pandemic, I really want to become a researcher. This ideal is a bit out of reach for me, but I'm excited to study hard and make it happen! I'm afraid that if I don't study hard enough, I might only be able to major in biology, a "black hole" major in an ordinary university (there's a rumor that you'll be unemployed after graduation), and end up unable to find a job. But I'm determined to make it work!"
Let's dive into the exciting world of scientific research!
The subject of biology is absolutely fascinating! We are both moved and curious about the growth of plants, the reproduction of animals, the development of nature, human intervention, the various magical laws, and new changes. We really hope to explore this world!
It's fantastic to have the ambition to become a researcher! We can also learn about what research work is like and what the foundations are needed from multiple sources. It's not as difficult as we think, and it's not as simple as we see it!
For example, watch documentaries about scientific research, watch online videos about the daily lives of researchers, read interviews, etc. It's a great way to see if the ideal of scientific research in your heart is generally similar to the reality!
② With a true passion, the world is your oyster!
It's not true that you'll be unemployed after graduation! Many graduates still find a job. The key to finding a job is matching your personal needs and abilities with the needs of the position.
If you want to do research, you can also go to graduate school or get a PhD in biology at a regular university. After all, it's something you love! So if you really choose this direction, why not try to go further?
If you fail after trying, don't fret! The employment situation for undergraduates is grim, but as long as you make a brave choice, you'll be able to find a job.
Let's dive into the exciting world of career possibilities in the biological sciences!
The biology subject studied in high school is just the beginning! In college, there are so many exciting options in the field of biological sciences, including biotechnology, bioinformatics, ecology, integrative science, and neuroscience. You can learn more about these subjects and explore different career paths on Zhihu or in college major introductions.
And there's more! You can also choose to major in biology with a focus on teacher training. Plus, there are so many exciting avenues to explore in scientific research, and within the field of biology, there are endless possibilities.
If you choose an art-oriented art exam,
"My grades are average, but I can say for sure that I can get into a first-tier university. I can say very responsibly that if I go for art, I can go to a top art school such as one of the eight major academies of fine arts. Everyone knows this and they all recommend that I go for art.
But if I go down the art route, I'll still be able to make a living, and I'll have the chance to pursue my lifelong dream! I'm excited to make a decision. I'm ready to take on this new challenge!
"
What if the purpose of the art exam is to make a living?
The speaker said that with current grades, you can get into a top university, and that art exams can get you into the top eight art academies! So, is the purpose of taking art exams to get into a prestigious school or to make a living?
What will we gain if we go to a prestigious school? We could gain the envy of those around us, the aura of a prestigious school, and so much more! Will the aura of a prestigious school guarantee a stable job? Maybe not, but it could lead to so many other amazing opportunities!
Now, let's talk about the exciting world of employment prospects for art students!
There are so many amazing art-related majors to choose from! You've got art theory, drama, film and television studies (film and television design, animation, film and television photography and production), fine arts (fine arts, painting, sculpture, photography, Chinese painting, comics, cultural relics protection and restoration, intermedia art, experimental art), design (visual communication design, environmental design, product design, fashion design, digital media art, public art, arts and crafts, art design, art and technology, new media art, packaging design, ceramic art design), and so many more! Each major opens the door to a whole new world of possibilities. Take the time to explore them all and you're sure to find something you love and are willing to do!
So, you've got this amazing opportunity to choose the artistic direction of the art exam. Or, you could stick to your guns and go for the ideal state of choosing a biological subject. Either way, you've got a goal in mind: to get into college. And that's something to get excited about!
Focus on the future! Your goal is employment and a great life. And there are other possibilities, too! You can let go of the aura of a prestigious school and choose a major you love.
Or, with the aura of a prestigious school, dive into the world in a multidisciplinary way!
If your ideal becomes your career, or if the thing you like becomes your career, it sounds pretty good! But does your ideal have to become your career? Absolutely not! If you don't go after your ideal, you may feel regret.
Absolutely! We can definitely evaluate the value brought by ideals and the value brought by reality, and then make a choice.
The possibilities are endless! You can choose one of two majors, but remember, life is not
Life is an adventure! It's not a multiple-choice question, but a question with no standard answer. The possibilities are endless, and we can always find our own path in life.
The great thing is, our ideals can change as we gain experience and knowledge. And it's a fantastic idea to look at the world from multiple disciplines, fields, and perspectives to enrich our life experiences!
Choose from the heart and set off bravely!
No matter which one you choose, I know you've got it in you to make the right decision! And don't forget, the second and third years of high school are different from the first year. You've got this! The knowledge points will get more challenging, but you can do it! And the college entrance exam review will get more intense, but you can handle it!
No matter which option you choose, you can still build a strong foundation in your academic subjects and crush those exams! Once you've made your choice, go for it! Believe in yourself, and you'll see that everything will work out for the best.

It sounds like you're at a really important crossroads in your life. On one hand, you have a clear path to success in art with strong support from those around you. But on the other hand, you have this deep passion for biology and a dream of becoming a researcher that's close to your heart. It's tough because both options seem to come with their own set of challenges and rewards. I wish I could offer you a clear answer, but it might be helpful to think about what you would regret more in the future: not following your dreams in science or not pursuing your talent in art.
Choosing between your love for biology and your aptitude for art is no small decision. You've got real potential in art, which can lead to a stable career, while your interest in biology is fueled by a noble cause that emerged from the pandemic. If you choose biology, it could be challenging but fulfilling if you manage to overcome the hurdles. Art offers a more certain route to a good university and potentially a prosperous career. Maybe consider how much risk you're willing to take for your dream versus playing it safe with art.
I can see why you're torn between art and biology. Art seems like a safer bet for you academically and professionally, given your proven skills and the support from your community. Yet, the idea of contributing to science as a researcher feels very meaningful to you, especially after everything we've been through with the pandemic. Have you thought about ways you could combine both fields? Perhaps there's a way to pursue scientific illustration or another interdisciplinary field that bridges art and science.
The pressure must be immense right now as you weigh these two paths. Art is clearly a strength for you and could provide financial security, but biology represents a dream and a response to a global issue that has affected everyone. It's understandable to fear not being able to find employment in biology, but remember that choosing based solely on job prospects might mean missing out on something you truly love. What if you pursued biology while keeping art as a hobby or side project? That way, you wouldn't lose touch with your artistic side even if you go down the science route.
Facing this decision is like having to choose between two parts of yourself. Your talent in art is undeniable, and it's reassuring to know you'd likely succeed in that field. However, the pull towards biology feels deeply personal, almost like a calling after witnessing the impact of the pandemic. It's okay to feel conflicted; big decisions are rarely easy. Perhaps you could look into schools that offer strong programs in both areas or consider a minor in art if you choose to major in biology. This way, you keep both doors open without fully closing either one.
