8 COLLEGE DEGREES THAT ENSURE EMPLOYMENT

I read an interesting article ( written by Chloë Dowley) about the degrees that will make job hunting and employment easy. I hope those who are undecided yet as to what degree are they going to pursue, I'm sure this is gonna help. Here's an excerpt from the article.

Computer Software Engineer- Interested in math and computers? Embrace the nerd within while you learn to design, develop, test, and evaluate computer software and systems.

Accountant- Tax season may be over, but the demand for number-crunching geniuses in this field should last for years. (Employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow to the tune of 226,000 new jobs, and median annual earnings in this field were $54,630 in 2006.)

Elementary Teacher- Consider the potential perks of a career in teaching: a pet gerbil in your 'office,' mandatory recess every day, and at least twenty children who think you're cool. (Between 2006 and 2016, the need for elementary teachers will increase by 209,000. You probably won't get rich as a teacher but the summer vacations may be worth more than a six-figure salary.)

Personal Financial Advisor- Learn the ins and outs of tax laws, insurance, and investments to help your clients plan for retirement and finance their children's educations.

Market Research Analyst- Get inside the brains of consumers to help companies market their products using tools such as Internet and telephone surveys.
(Nearly 50,000 new market research analyst positions should become available between 2006 and 2016, with 2006 median annual wages of $58,820.)

Computer Systems Analyst- Keeping current with the ever-changing world of information technology, computer systems analysts help businesses and organizations find the right technologies to meet their needs.
(A growing dependence on eCommerce and Internet technologies is expected to lead to almost 150,000 new jobs for computer systems analysts. Starting offers for graduates in this field were close to $50,000 in 2006.)

Securities, Commodities, Financial Services Sales Agents- Watch out Wall Street! A career as a stock broker or investment banker can offer a fast-paced, intense work environment with the potential for financial rewards.
(Nearly 80,000 new jobs are expected through 2016. Play your cards right and you could be earning six figures within a few years of graduation. )
