Which type of degree from Podunk University is the most employable?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>STEM majors? B.S. degrees? Degrees which imply skills that are the most needed in the next five years or so?</p>

<p>I'm definitely not talking about degrees in Philosophy or Studio Art, which don't clearly connote technical skills necessary for landing a well-off career. Liberal arts and humanities degrees like those may require tons of internships, work experience, and other "soft" factors to land one's feet at the door.</p>

<p>And unfortunately, not all of us can either afford or get into a prestigious top ten LA college or Ivy League university.</p>

<p>So, this begs the question: which type of degree (double majors and other academic programs included), provided one achieves a perfect 4.0 GPA by the end of his or her study, would make one desirable for employers, regardless of the institution where the degree was earned?</p>

<p>All other things being equal, that is.</p>

<p>BS Computer Science(Probably #1 in terms of employment)
BS Electrical/Mechanical/Chemical Engineering
BS Accounting/Finance
BS Nursing(Although I think you can get a job with an Associates).</p>

<p>BS Mathematics/Physics/Economics- May be interesting to study but these do not always lead directly into employment.</p>

<p>Believe it or not, you need tons of internships, work experience, and other ‘soft’ factors to get your foot through the door in any major, from any college. A better college simply gets your application a second look, but nobody’s kissing Harvard grads’ asses either.</p>
