Choosing a degree/career path
I encourage past, present, and future students to pick a career that balances their interests and abilities with the income reality of their desired lifestyle. The following links can help narrow down the search.
- Acknowledge that the more education you obtain, the more likely you are to find a job and the more money you will make
- Pick an occupation with favorable income and job opening outlooks
- Ensure you develop the right skills during your college career – National Association of Colleges and Employers – Career readiness: A definition and competencies: PDF.
