College Search & Selection

<p>Just to wrap it up… so it is now well recognized among the general publics that a certain advanced graduate degree is not only desirable, but sometimes even necessary for advancing one’s career or just getting a job, be it engineer, scientist, lawyer, doctor or glorified data clerk (i.e., banking/financial institution anal-ist). </p>

<ol>
<li>So it’s wise for one to select the right college and/or major that is marketable.
For bachelor degree only, I must agree with sakky and other posters that engineering and business undergrad degree is a very marketable major along with teaching/nursing.</li>

<p>MIT-Berkeley-Michigan-CMU</p>

<ol>
<li>I also think it’s equally important for students to recognize some schools that have the best graduate programs early. The following information is not only very important to current college students but also can be quite useful to high school students thinking about a long term educational/career plan.</li>
