15 In-demand Careers and their College MajorsAs much as you may love college life, it comes to an end eventually. You may be enthralled by medieval literature, the life cycle of the banana slug or your hot neighbor in the dorms, but it’s important to keep your eventual career in your sights. Here are a few of the fastest growing job markets and the undergraduate majors that lead into them 1. Computer programmerMaybe you find yourself tweaking your blog all night. Or, perhaps you care how games like Guitar Hero and WoW actually work. If this sounds like you, consider a career in computer science. To become a software engineer, network administrator or computer programmer, you’ll need a computer science degree. Expect a lot of lower-division math work—and an eventual base salary around $50,000. 2. Physical or occupational therapistSports minded? If you’re strong in biology and physiology, consider majoring in physical therapy, kinesiology or exercise science. The aging Baby Boomer population ensures a growing healthcare market, and a licensed physical therapy assistant starts at about $45,000 a year. Becoming a licensed physical therapist can bring you about $75,000 a year, but you’ll typically need a master’s degree in physical therapy for that. 3. Nurse or physician’s assistantIf you’re interested in medicine but are turned off by med school, consider these jobs, which require less training. A registered nurse needs only a two-year degree in a nursing program to earn about $65,000 a year. A physician’s assistant job requires a little more training: a pre-med bachelor’s degree or a B.S. in Nursing, followed by a specialized three-year degree. If that seems like as much trouble as med school, consider this: Business 2.0 magazine projects that the need for physician’s assistants will grow by 50% in the next seven years. 4. LibrarianIf you combine a love of books with tech savvy, library science may be the major for you. The internet boom and a large number of retiring librarians has increased the need for librarians to aid in navigating the information maze. Along with your four-year degree, most librarian jobs ask for a three-year Master’s in Library Science. It’s not the fastest growing job market on this list, but consider the peaceful work environment and great hours. 5. Pharmacist and pharmacy assistantThe role of pharmacists is evolving. They now spend less time filling prescriptions and more time interacting with patients, teaching them to inject insulin and administering flu shots, and pill counting is often delegated to assistants. The Doctor of Pharmacy degree, which will put you in line for a $95,000 salary, only requires a two-year degree in order to enter, but most pharmacists enter the program with at least three years of school. To prepare, study pre-med, biology or chemistry as an undergrad. 6. School psychologistTouchy-feely and tough love types are equally needed as increases in ADHD and autism diagnoses have lead to a boom in school psychologist jobs. Major in psychology, pre-med or physiology, and expect to enter a graduate program. Once hired, you’ll work just nine months of the year, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. School psychologists make about $65,000. 7. EngineerEngineers come in flavors like civil, electrical, aerospace and electrical. You’ll need strong math, science and computer skills. Be warned—your four year degree could turn into a five or six year process. But you can earn between $50,000 and $70,000 with a B.S. degree in any of the above. 8. Fundraiser/development directorIf you’ve got the gift of gab, consider a fundraising job. Non-profit and political organizations need people to communicate with donors, host charity events and coordinate PR campaigns to bring in the cash. Management and business majors are the best candidates, with political science and communications majors close behind. The median salary for experienced fundraisers is $78,000. 9. College professorA growing number of 18 to 24-year-olds in the U.S. population means a need for college professors in the coming years. The good news? Pick your favorite major. The bad news? You’ll need to pursue it all the way to a doctorate. If you land a tenure-track position, the average pay is about $73,000 a year. 10. Medical scientistYou’re as logical as Sherlock Holmes, and you love the laboratory. You should be a medical scientist. This job market will grow about 34% in the next few years due to an aging U.S. population and increases in federal medical research funding, according to Business 2.0 magazine. Major in biology, chemistry, or physiology, and you can enter the field with just a bachelor’s. But you’ll make more money—about $100,000 a year—if you get a PhD. 11. ClergySurprisingly, some clergy members aren’t poor as church mice. The average salary is around $78,000 according to U.S. News and World Report. If you feel a higher calling, a theology degree isn’t your only option—a study of psychology can be highly useful in ministering to your flock. But the hours are rough. Expect to work nights and weekends helping those in need. 12. Database administratorKnowledge is power, and as increasing numbers of businesses digitize their record keeping, databases are power, too. Study computer science, information systems or information technology for your four-year degree. You’ll work with sensitive data, so you’ll need to be methodical and reliable. The payoff is about $60,000 a year, or $90,000 plus with a master’s degree. 13. AccountantIf Excel and Quicken are your best friends and your checkbook’s always in balance, study economics or math as an undergraduate. Accountants can balance books for a corporation, or prepare tax returns for individuals, and salaries range accordingly. At the top end, accountants can pull in six digit salaries. 14. Management consultantPut on your power suit and head to the corner office—you’re a management consultant. A wide variety of degrees are useful here, as long as they’re compatible with the businesses you’re consulting with. Business and—surprise!—management degrees are also helpful here. The median pay is about $58,000 a year, and you can expect to make more with an MBA. 15. EditorWordsmiths and literary types can earn about $52,000 a year in full-time editorial positions. You’ll need a degree in journalism, English or communications. Expect to start small with local publications and move your way up the ladder. Don’t forget to polish up your HTML skills—blogs are a growing segment of this market. |
十五种热门职业和它们的相关专业你再热爱你的大学生活,你还是要离开了。也许你正着迷于中世纪文学,潜心研究香蕉蛞蝓的生命周期,或者奋力追求住在隔壁的辣妹……你还是最好赶快为自己的职业规划打算打算。下面一起来看看目前的一些热门职业,以及它们涉及到的大学相关专业吧。 1、计算机程序员如果你要么有时候一整夜都在调试你的博客,要么非常好奇《吉他英雄》和《魔兽世界》是怎么编出来的,你不妨学学计算机科学。像软件工程师、网络管理员或者计算机程序员这样的职位,都需要一张计算机专业的学位。这些工作会涉及到大量简单的数学计算,基础年薪都在5万美金上下。 2、物理/职业理疗师觉得自己有运动神经吗?如果你生物学和生理学都学得好,不妨学学理疗学、人体运动学或者运动科学这样的专业。“婴儿潮”时期出生的人们慢慢变老,保健服务市场供不应求。持有一张助理理疗执照,你可以拿到每年四万五千美金的起薪;持有理疗师执照,年薪会涨到7.5万美金/年。但是要干这一行,通常你需要先拿到一个理疗学的硕士学位。 3、护士/医师助理如果你对医学毫无兴趣又不幸进了一所医科学校,不妨做做这类专业知识要求相对较少的工作。只需要两年的护理学习就可以成为注册护士,拿到六万五千美金的年薪。医师助理比护士需要多学一点专业知识——需要拿到医学院预科学士或者护理学学士学位,然后再经过三年的专业课程学习。你也许会觉得做个医师助理比上医科学校容易不了多少,不妨考虑考虑这个前景:《商务2.0》杂志预测,在未来七年里,市场上对医师助理的需求将会增加百分之五十。 4、图书管理员如果你喜欢读书又对计算机技术略知一二,也许你可以学学图书管理。互联网成为全世界的主题,大批图书管理员到了快退休的年纪,这个行业需要更多的新鲜血液来迎合网络发展的需要。要成为图书管理员,学完大学四年的学位课程,还要再学三年拿到图书馆学的硕士学位。图书管理员算不上是最热的职位,但是,安静的工作环境和充足的业余时间,还是会吸引到一大批人。 5、药剂师/药剂助理药剂师的工作内容在一点点发生着变化。现在,他们不再像从前那样大部分时间都在忙着开处方,而是越来越多地和病人沟通,教给他们注射胰岛素和流感针剂。像数药丸这种工作则交给助理们去处理。药剂学博士学位拿到手,就意味着你将得到九万五千美金的年薪。这个学位通常要求两年的课程学习,但是大部分药剂师都要在学校花上至少三年时间。准备取得博士学位,本科时期就要修医学预科、生物学还有化学等课程。 6、校园心理医生现在患多动症和自闭症的学生越来越多,校园心理医生需要胜任时而肉麻时而强硬的角色转换。 本科需要心理学、医学预科或者生理学的学习,还要继续硕士课程。成为校园心理医生后,一年里只需工作九个月。不过别把这份工作想得太简单。校园心理医生一般年薪为六万五千美金左右。 7、工程师土木、电机、航天电机领域的工程师都非常受欢迎。干这行需要优秀的数学、科学和计算机技能。注意:四年的学位课程你可能需要学上五到六年时间。获得学士学位后成为上面谈到的任何一种工程师,你都可以每年获得五万到七万美金的薪水。 8、募捐筹集人/发展总监如果你嘴皮子了得,当个募捐筹集人吧。非盈利机构和政治机构需要工作人员去和捐赠者沟通、举办慈善活动、协调公关宣传,以筹集捐款。管理和商务专业的学生最适合做这行,紧跟其后的就是政治和传媒专业的学生。经验丰富的募捐筹集人可以赚得平均七万八千美金的年薪。 9、大学教授美国人口中18-24岁年龄层占有越来越大的比重,这意味着在未来将需要越来越多的大学教授。好的一面是你可以随意选择你中意的专业,坏的一面是你得一开始就计划着读到博士毕业。如果你成了终身聘用的教授,你的年薪将达到平均七万三千美金。 10、医学研究员如果你觉得自己逻辑像福尔摩斯那么厉害,又喜欢实验室工作,你做个医学研究员最合适不过。根据《商务2.0》预测,随着美国老龄化加剧、政府医学研究投资比例加重,这种职业需求将在未来几年里增长约百分之三十四。你只需要获得生物、化学或者生理学学士学位就可以从事这项工作。但是获得博士学位后相比之下你的收入将尤为可观——大约十万美金/年。 11、神职人员你会惊讶地发现,一些神职人员并没有你想象得那么穷。根据《美国新闻与世界报道》杂志调查,这个行业的工作者可以拿到七万八千美元左右年薪。如果你想攀向更高,你不仅可以攻读神学学位,还可以学习心理学,这将在培养你的信徒时给你很多帮助。但是工作时间不甚理想。神职人员需要在需要的任何时候工作,无论深夜还是周末。 12、数据库管理员知识就是力量。越来越多的商业数据管理被电子化,数据库也成为了一种力量。本科四年可以攻读计算机科学、信息系统或者信息技术等专业。你的工作涉及到大量敏感数据,所以你必须是个有条不紊、诚实可信的人。年薪将在六万美金左右,如果获得硕士文凭,收入将至少增长到九万美金。 13、会计师如果你熟练使用excel和quicken,你从来不会入不敷出,你可以在本科学习经济学或者数学。会计师可以为企业管理帐本,为个人计算退税等等。具体收入按工作内容有所不同,最高可能拿到六位数的年薪。 14、管理顾问穿着高级套装,直奔墙角的办公室——管理顾问就是这个样子。很多专业毕业后可以从事管理顾问,只要符合你负责顾问的行业就行了。商务和管理学位,不用说,十分有用。这个行业的平均年薪在五万八千美金左右,获得MBA学位你还能收入更多。 15、编辑擅长文字、爱好文学的人做专职编辑的话。每年可以收入五万两千美金左右。做编辑需要拥有新闻、英文或者传媒学位。开始可能从当地的小出版机构开始,一步一步向上爬。不要忘了多学点HTML知识,博客在这个领域在发挥着越来越重要的作用。 |
