A question that seems to come up among graduates is whether the major we focus on is beneficial for us financially and something that can help others to make the economy better. The only issue that society faces is how many graduates actually use their degree they majored in college. Obtaining data from 2010 American Community Survey, only 27% of college graduates had a job that was related to their major. While, the other 62% had a job that just require a college degree. This is not a problem to society because people depend on jobs to live, buy things they desire, and to take care of families. But, it just shows that not many jobs require a specific field to major in.
However, there is always a job for something that people love pursuing in. Major cities or major companies offer a variety of opportunities for people seeking a job that has to do with a major they specialized in. The only down side of certain things that happen is moving places and adapting to a different environment. As people, these type of choices can affect us because what if we don't want to move but we still seek money and actually like the job?

I like how you were able to give data on the probability of getting a job. Furthermore, I like that last question; it really sticks in my head.

ReplyDeleteI like how you pulled out a fact on the percentage which is very little. It keeps it it my mind that no matter what we do, we can still get a good job its just the fact that you learned something and putting it into your life.
