Education and majors are more just the starting point, not the end. 211, 985, popular majors—these can help you get through the first door, but your future development still depends on your own abilities. Society is changing so rapidly now, what's considered a "hot major" might not be popular in a few years. Everyone rushes to the popular ones, which actually makes competition more intense. So instead of worrying about which name sounds better, it's better to think clearly about what you're truly good at, and what you are willing to invest in long-term. What truly matters is whether you have core skills. Whether in liberal arts or fine arts, if you just follow the trend, you might end up average; but if you have an advantage in a certain area and are willing to deepen your expertise, it will become your competitive edge. To put it simply, a major is just a tool. Choosing one that you can continuously invest in and that amplifies your strengths is more important than just chasing the hottest trend. You're currently in the second year of high school, so you still have time to think carefully about what suits you, rather than rushing to find a "most stable" answer.
