<p>Trying to pick a surefire major that has the best job prospects is like picking a perfect stock. The real world, like the stock markets, is subjected to numerous amounts of variables. There will always be fluctuations that cause a negative growth and positive growth. You think finance, accounting , law, medicine have surefire job prospects? Nope. Medicine can be outsourced. In fact, many surgery patients are going to places like India, as the cost is cheaper there, and the doctors are some of the best. Finance is influenced by the markets. So in a downturn like the current one, financial firms downsize. In fact, a lot of the top firms have been cutting staff. Accounting? That can also be outsourced. Sensitive information may not be able to be outsourced, but I have been reading of accounting being outsourced. Do not go to college just to come out with a job, because you will be disappointed. Go because you want to better yourself, and want to learn about a subject matter you like. Do well, try to get internships to network. It’s not about what major you choose, but how you utilize yourself. A job is not a handout. I graduated with many Ivy leaguers back in 2003, and many of them are now working in a deli or something.</p>
