Students are more uninvolved and there is little campus life at community colleges, so if you’re looking to get out and be involved in clubs, and sports, a university might be a better fit for you.
Biggest Majors
There are an enormous amount of students who are not sure what they want to major in, or what they want their career to be. Usually what students want out of a degree is a job it will supply you with that can easily pay back the loans you owe, if you have any. Some of the degrees that will have the best payoff, according to the researchers at salary.com include math; there are so many ways to go with a degree in math, but the best options may be some professions like an actuary, or an accountant. Information technology is a rapidly growing major that poses many available job positions in the future such
as web applications developer and IT manager. Human resources, (who hires, fires, and manages employee’s needs), is essential to almost every business. Some positions in this field include compensation and benefits manager, or a recruiting manager. Economics is important to all employment fields, and has big payoff. Jobs in economics include financial associates and investment operations managers. Believe it or not, majoring in biology is becoming more prominent with professions such as laboratory manager or clinical research associate. If you’re fascinated by the way things are put together and have problem solving skills a job in engineering like chemical engineer or mechanical engineer might suit you. The number one major with very good payoff is English. Careers like speech writers and communication managers may suit you in this area.
