<p>they lead to? It would really help. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>There are very few majors that train you for a job. Off the top of my head:</p>
<p>Computer Science
Engineering
Business
Accounting
Finance
Actuarial Science
Hotel/Recreation Management
Architecture
Book Publishing
Interior Design
Graphic Design
Human Resource Management
Marketing/Advertising
Real Estate
Web Design
Tourism/Travel Management</p>
<p>I’m sure there’s a bunch of stuff I forgot. Anyway, Undergrad generally isn’t vocational training and most majors are Humanities, Social Sciences or Sciences. Most jobs don’t require a specific degree and train you on the job; you don’t need a Business, Marketing, or Finance degree to go into those fields, for example. </p>
<p>Google “College majors and jobs” and lots of sites will come up, we’re not supposed to link them on here.</p>
<p>I see, but I plan on majoring in Chem, Neuro, or some type of science (maybe even engineering).</p>
<p>This is actually an interesting question.</p>
<p>As someone who can write well but has not much else going for him, I’ve always wanted to find a good career site with an extensive and unique list of possible careers for certain skills/majors/etc. Career sites tend to be very predictable and stereotypical. I.e. English major recommendation is - English teacher. Book publisher. Writer. And you’re like, ok, there must be a LOT of other jobs more loosely related that would kill for writing talent in certain departments. Ya know? Like maybe researching for the federal government, being some kind of “news spy” or something haha. I dunno.</p>
<p>As you say there are very few majors which “train” one for a particular job, and it would be interesting to find a career site which understands that principle and helps one who feels in a rut expand his mind.</p>
<p>I feel that x90 is probably frustrated with the stereotypical suggestions of most careers sites as well. Major in chem, be a research scientist. Major in neuro, be a brain surgeon. Etc.</p>
<p>So even though no links are allowed perhaps the name of a site or more specific search criteria would be interesting still.</p>
<p>Some sites I found via…Google.</p>

<p>You should’ve said Neuro before, I’m majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Genetics. Both are really interesting subjects and neurogenetics is such a new exciting field! There’s so much stuff you can do, but here are common options:</p>
<p>Pre-Med - I’m doing this, maybe (too early to tell) Neurology? NOT neurosurgery, I don’t want to cut people’s heads open and poke around 
I’m interested in studying the whole nervous system (not just cognitive sci) and genetic disorders like MS, Huntington’s, that kind of stuff. </p>
<p>Pre-Vet - If you like critters :)</p>
<p>Psychology - this whole field will be open to you, you could become a psychologist or some kind of specialist, think of all the fields related to the mind! Criminal psychologist, human behavior specialist, whatever floats your boat…</p>
<p>Neuroscientist/Researcher - do clinical trials, research, that kind of neat stuff. </p>
<p>Behavioral Neuroscience - Now this is a really cool field, you study the mind and how it influences behavior, you get into behavior disorders. You could get an advanced degree and do research and other things. You could work with people with mental disorders, or serial killers. 
exciting</p>
<p>Journalist/Writer - Write for a research publication or a science periodical on the latest research or science related news, like Neurology Today or something. There’s so many science journals out there.</p>
<p>Business related - work for a pharmaceutical company?</p>
<p>Law - Science degree + Law degree generally means Patent Law. Like if there’s a patent on a new Alzeimer’s medication, you would deal with that, they want people with science degrees so they have a better understanding of the product being patented.</p>
<p>This is just stuff my fellow Neuroscience majors are interested in, there’s a lot of options for Biology and Chem and Biochem as well. And you’ll have other options, don’t worry.</p>
<p>MyRoad (myroad.collegeboard.com) is available to you if you took the PSAT. It’s a good site that explains majors AND careers. If you look up a major, it’ll have a tab for what careers the major can lead you to, for all different levels of degrees.</p>
