In response to my last post (on the lack of jobs available for students after graduation) and to a question my roommate asked, I did some research on job prospects and what majors have the most success securing a job.

First I found a Yahoo article with a list of the six degrees that rank highest in terms of employment post-graduation:

1. Health Care Degree- Best job for security, recession proof.

2. Business Administration Degree- Most popular Bachelor’s degree in US.

3. Computer Science Degree

4. Accounting Degree- Improves when the economy improves.

5. Engineering Degree- According to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, eight of the top 10 best-paid majors are in engineering.

 6.Marketing Degree

Fox Business says that the ten jobs of the future are as follows:

1. Cyber Security Specialist

2. Genetic Counselor

3. Organic Food Farmer

4. Medical Records Administrator

5. Mobile Applications Developer

6. Robotics Technician

7. Stimulation Engineer

8. Social Media Manager

9. Stem Cell Researcher

10.Sustainability Officer 

The Last list I found to be interesting was MSN Careers on 10 careers that didn’t exist 10 years ago:

1. Bloggers

2. Community managers

3. Green funeral directors (Incorporate environmentally friendly options for a ‘green’ funeral service)

4. Interior redesigners

5. Patients advocates

6. Senior move management

7. Social media strategist

8. User experience analyst

9. Video journalist

10. Virtual business service providers

Hope that answers her question, and if there is anything any reader is wondering that pertains to politics, degrees, students, let me know and I will do some research for you!
