What jobs can I get with a Community Health degree?
Professionals working in the field of Public Health evaluate and regulate the health needs of the public population in a general or specific geographic area. They deal with a complex set of problems having to do with health care systems and the availability of health care services. Public health professionals are also involved with the promotion of healthy behaviors and habits on an individual, family, professional, or community level. You could work at organizations like Planned Parenthood or the Red Cross, various health care providers... You could be a Wellness Coordinator for large companies or a university. I got a School Health degree, and if I could do it over I would go back and get a Community Health degree because the scope is so much bigger. Try running a search for available jobs for someone with a Community Health degree, and see what you find. Good luck. :)
How are job opportunities in the USA for recent master's degree graduates in mechanical engineering? How do I increase my chances of getting a job in the USA?
Consistently demand in mechanical sector is stagnant over past several years , thus getting a job after MS is not that easy . Current political leadership is pro American and making policies to secure jobs for AMERICANS. Employer is now bound to offer jobs first to American only and if no such American is available then only after completing the lenghty process others can be hired.Thus currently there are very thin opportunity of getting a job , those who want to remain in US are getting themselve as doctoral scholar.PS : I would like to share the reality of availability of jobs ,training /internships after MS in mechanical branch .One of my nephew is about to complete his MS from MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY and he is trying hard to get a call for job /training /internship.

Janitors and Waiters with College Degrees?
Over the years I have heard stories about the increasing number of college graduates that are having trouble finding jobs and have had to settle for work that is suitable for a high school drop out. It has worried me a little bit but it hasn't stopped me from pursuing a degree. Are these people having trouble getting jobs because they chose a useless major? Is it because they failed to learn proper work ethics growing up for a REAL job? Or is it simply because there really isn't any jobs out there?
Army recruiter said i can't get a guaranteed job?
What you say is untrue! I spent 18 years as an Army Recruiter and still keep in touch with them and the policy of 100% of jobs, guaranteed in writing, prior to enlistment has not changed. Edit: You don't mention if you are going enlisted or commissioned. If commissioned, your Branch depends upon your degree and the needs of the Army. PS: Don't plan on going to MEPS on a 'shopping trip' either. If you try that, your Recruiter is NOT OBLIGATED to provide transportation home!
_Is a major in Finance worth it? I am a college freshman, still scared about finding jobs?
I was going for Nutrition, but the job availability is very slim.. so I was thinking finance. No, I am not that strong in math but I am very willing to practice (and at least numbers in finance are real verses other mathematics for science and medical classes, thank God). Plus, I thought it would be interesting to be a finance manager (I maybe just want to manage money but I don't know THAT much about the field). I am not crazy about the jobs in demand now (nursing, business, healthcare). These are extremely competitive and hard to get into... I researched so much I find myself depressed. I thought maybe finance major would be good (don't want accounting really...) because I do want to learn more about money--how to manage it personally and learn about good money habits and stuff. Would that be good--having a job like that that makes pretty decent money while actually learning something useful? That's why i thought about finance. I really want to make a decent living though. Anything making decent money takes math skills anyway if you think about it.. might as well go for something that is interesting. I am worried about finding jobs in anything I do... with all adults talking about how hard it is keeping work up and bills and everything I find myself scared of literally everything..
Will an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies Help Me?
I don't know what the people before me were talking about, and clearly neither do they. Reading your questions indicates, quite obviously, that you already have a BA. It's true that's the requirement to enter law school, but experience and LSAT scores play a large part, too. I graduated with a BA in History (also a worthless degree unfortunately) with the goal of going to law school. My mother died during my senior year and I had some other personal problems and I didn't take the LSAT or apply to law school when I should have, so I had to either enroll in something else or face the prospect of paying all of my undergrad loans without being able to get a job anywhere besides the local car wash. I decided to get an associate's and work as a paralegal for a while. I ended up really enjoying it and worked as a paralegal for 5 years before finally taking the LSAT and applying to Fordham. Since it had been 5 years, they barely looked at my transcript and during the admissions interview instead asked me a lot of questions about my experience as a paralegal. I was accepted and, as a result of my paralegal work and life experience, found my classes to be considerably easier than my younger classmates. I scored a clerkship out of law school and have been working (successfully I think) as a litigator for the last 9 years. None of that would have been possible without my paralegal degree and I don't regret getting it (or using it) for a second. That plan worked for me, and I can't say for sure that it would work for somebody else but it sounds like you have a good plan, good thinking, and a clear idea of where you want to go so I'd be optimistic. Good luck to you!
Is Becoming a Lawyer Worth it?
I've done my research on what it takes to become a lawyer and I really can't decide if it's worth it. It seems like unless you go to Harvard you will not get anywhere. And not to mention if you fail the LSAT after getting your bachlors degree you can't get into any law school. I also read your not hired straight out of law school which is terrible and the debt oh gosh.... Is becoming a lawyer worth it or is becoming a paralegal the route to go?
Should I get a degree in Business Administration or Accounting?
I am thinking of switching from a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology to something else due to the saturation of the IT market. My research indicates that Accounting is one of THE most available jobs and is also one of the highest paying non technichal degrees, much higher than Business Admin. My ultimate goal is to start my own business, any business. With a degree in accounting I could go on and get my MBA in accounting so that I can take the CPA exam in my state and start my own business. I could also get a Business Admin degree in undergrad and then an MBA in accounting and still qualify to take the CPA exam in my state and hence, still go into business for myself. It is a tough decision to make though. The BA degree looks easier and is very versatile, not to mention very popular at my school. The down side is that most jobs would benefit from a BA degree don't really require one if you have experience. Also, BA majors tend to make about 7 K less.
Good majors for college?
Dream on, sweetie. Only a few "vocational majors" offer any sort of well-paid career with merely a bachelor's degree. Most majors require graduate degrees if you actually want to work in them. The vocational majors are: Engineering (of various types) Nursing Computer Science and Information Technology (of various types) Primary and Secondary School Teaching (requiring university-level preparation and prep for the state certification exams) There are employers who are perfectly willing to consider applicants from a variety of majors, including Humanities majors, but you need to be sharp about finding those jobs.
