Key Takeaways
-
( Annotated )
According to what the author says,
This list
-
Just because a major is in high demand now doesn’t automatically
mean you should go into it. If you are just starting college, 4 years can change
quite a lot. However, if
you look at it every year, it can provide you the
direction that we are heading.
* Undergraduate majors with “technical” skills (accounting, engineering, computer
sciences) command the most attention in today’s job market.
* If you want to be in de
mand AND make money, you need to go more technical. Try
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or computer
engineering.
* New jobs are not likely to be plentiful, but replacement openings due to aging in
the work force will b
e dominant.
* The only major that I saw drop in pay from previous years data was Business
Management. The abundance of business grads may be driving the price down.
* Elementary and Secondary Education and Information Technology are the best
prospe
cts for new grads in the next few years.
* Healthcare positions, particularly in nursing, are also attractive options.
You do not have to be in one of those majors to get hired (obviously). There are also
niche majors that are in high demand relative t
o the amount of people who go to
school for the subject matter.
Example:
An English Education major takes courses that would be useful as a website
master or human resources director.
