What are the best majors that you are gaurenteed a Job out of college?

Answer 1

All the boring ones: business, finance, accounting.

The medical field is booming too, and significantly less boring, so something in nursing or such will lead to a job very easily.

That being said, I would do what you love in college: if that means majoring in Spanish, Literature or Philosophy, I would go for that. You'll do better and have a much more enriching education. You can still take practical classes outside your major that can help you get a career.

Don't worry; anyone with a bachelor's degree stands a good chance of getting a good job, as long as you did well in school and are driven.

Answer 2

No guarantees in life, but you should stick with "recession proof" professions like health care, engineering, and law. Health care - not just doctors, but also nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, x-ray techs, etc. - is a certain growth industry, given the way we lead our lives in this country. A couple of my friends became pharmacists after college and they make about $90K to start. Who knew?!

I read somewhere that unless you get an MBA after college, an undergraduate business degree is pretty much worthless because there are so many business majors out there already.

Answer 3

Engineering, nursing, accounting, finance, computer science and other computer related majors, chemical engineering at the undergraduate level.

Any professional school (doctor, dentist, lawyer etc), MBA at the graduate level.

With any major you have to be halfway decent in the subject to get a job. Just passing isn't going to guarantee you a job (though it might in nursing). You don't have to be a superstar in any of these majors, but your can't be the worst in any of them and just assume you'll get a job because they're the "get a job" majors.

Also, you can teach high school with pretty much anything, though you have to get certified and usually get a master's (though it's only one year).

Answer 4

Nursing.
Pharmacy.
Engineering.

In most regions the prospects for K-12 education is pretty good - largely due to the retirement of baby boomer teachers. Some districts are struggling financially and are a little tighter.

Stay away from most liberal arts and generic business degrees - they're a dime a dozen.

Never forget that you don't need to have a college education to be successful - if you have the mind and connections entrepreneurship is that way to go.

Answer 5

Chemical Engineering is probably number 1.

Answer 6

No matter what if you go into nursing you would be guaranteed a job. There is always a shortage of them. You can specialize and a be a surgical nurse or a nurse anesthesis (crna). They administer anesthesia during surgery.

Answer 8

Pharmacist- An extra couple years of school but when you are finished you can go absolutely anywhere and make 80,000 as an absolute minimum.

Accounting, nursing and community health
