Does my Major Matter?
// January 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
If you want to be a Doctor, you have to go to med. school. Same goes with Lawyers, most teachers, accountants and nurses. Your degree matters.
If you want to do one of the millions of other jobs that don’t require a special education; then it doesn’t. Don’t take my word for it…
From the New York Times…
“The Association of American Colleges and Universities recently asked employers who hire at least 25 percent of their workforce from two- or four-year colleges what they want institutions to teach. The answers did not suggest a narrow focus. Instead, 89 percent said they wanted more emphasis on “the ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing,” 81 percent asked for better “critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills” and 70 percent were looking for “the ability to innovate and be creative.”
There, they didn’t ask for a finance or a fine arts major. They ask you to be a competent person. If you are reading this, you are probably much more competent than you think. Now forget your major, and let’s find you a job.
