What jobs do your graduates have and what was their major?

[bjscheel]

Yes, can you narrow it down? Have her look at the catalog of a university in FL or Alabama- read through the lists of majors- when one catches her eye, read through the courses required and see if it continues to interest her.

My kids have less common majors. D’17 is Graphic Design and she sits at a computer all day but finds it fun.

D’19 is Parks and Recreation Management. She did not want to sit at a desk all day. Her upcoming internship is with a city parks & rec department. But she could also work for a non-profit, Chamber of Commerce, camp, National Park, museum, resort, hotel, fitness center, sports etc.

Also see a thread I started, asking parents this question of themselves:

What was your major and what is your job now?

I think it’s interesting to hear what people majored in and if they work in that field. Partly because my DD’19 is back to thinking about a theatre major (though she had stated previously she no longer wanted to do theatre for a living, just as a hobby). Perhaps it’s one of those things where she’ll end up doing whatever but at least she has a degree. I have an accounting major and a music minor. I am office manager in a law office doing probate, real estate, payroll, taxes, and bookkeeping, plus I am a church organist. So for me, my college education directly applies to my work.
