The lunch of Ms. Hoang Khanh Ngan's family (Ward 7, Bac Lieu City) became more lively when the whole family discussed together about choosing a major and school for their eldest son in the 2025 admission season. Seeing that her son was still hesitating, "picking up and putting down" between some new majors related to artificial intelligence (AI) and the combination that is his forte, Ms. Ngan gently said: "It is completely understandable that you are hesitating between new majors related to AI and majors in your forte combination. But Dad and Mom also want you to think a little more. Currently, AI is gradually changing many areas of life, even replacing part of the work that humans used to do. It is no longer a matter of the distant future, but a trend of the times. Dad and Mom do not force you to choose anything, but at a time when everything is changing as quickly as now, daring to try a new direction, in line with the trend This will help you be more proactive and flexible in the future."
