Job Outlook Good for Science Majors

Finding a Job: An Interesting Psychological Phenomenon

True or false: To get a job in the field of psychology you must have a doctor’s degree. The answer - false. Many people who go into psychology do so with the intention of getting a PhD and becoming a professional counselor. But there are jobs for those with a bachelor’s or master’s degree, as well. The secret is not to use the word psychology.

Hitting the Road with Political Science Majors - Just What's Out There?

One wag was quoted as saying that the only career a political scientist is fit for is teaching political science. While an academic career is one option, there many others to choose from.

That's My Philosophy!

By Sylvia Alloway Do people burst out laughing when you tell them your major? Do they glaze over at the mention of Kant or Derrida? Do your parents routinely ask you, "And just what kind of job do you think you’re going to get with that?" Then you are probably a philosophy major. While few employers put out “Philosopher Wanted” ads, there are jobs that your degree uniquely equips you to do. The first and most obvious is teaching. Check with your own professors and contact other colleges and universities to see what they require and what the market is like in your area.

On the Market: At Play in Fields of the Horde

By Sylvia Alloway Whether it’s a sultry blonde tossing her hair and proclaiming, "I'm worth it"; a press agent stating solemnly, "My client, Mr. Moviestar is announcing his separation from Ms. TVstar"; or a focus group discussing which car they prefer to drive; the influence of marketing is pervasive in our culture and vital to almost any business. For this reason there are many jobs in the field, but the competition for the top positions is fierce. Advertising - Think Small

Journalism Majors in the 21st Century

How will the time-honored talents of good journalists fare in the wake of the information age? It’s a relevant question for anyone intent on entering the field when today, the most finite details of industry, business, entertainment, government and foreign affairs are but a mouse click away? The short answer is, quite well.

You’re Welcome - to a Job in Hospitality

By Sylvia Alloway As of course you know, hospitality is a rapidly growing field. You must know, because you had the foresight to major in it. On one Internet job search site there were 103 jobs listed in Los Angeles, 101 in Chicago and in New York 154 for a single month. Compare with business administrator (Los Angeles 11, Chicago 4, New York 12) for the same period of time. So you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a job. But what job? MySpace or Yours?

Banking on Employment

By Sylvia Alloway When we think of jobs in finance the ones that come to mind first are usually the more glamorous fields: venture capital, corporate acquisition. ”Merrill Lynch is bullish on America.” “Talk to Chuck.” In reality most financial jobs are in banking, probably because there are so many aspects to the banking business.

Communications: Say What?

When you tell people you majored in communications, they often give you a quizzical look. You majored in talking or telephones or something? Communication encompasses a lot of ground, and just what is and isn't a part of it is sometimes in dispute. But the need to communicate, to inform, inspire and persuade people, is a part of almost every effort of man and many need help doing it. That's where you come in. Broadcasting -- Be a Non-Star
