What can I do with a Recreation B.S. Degree?
I am a sophomore in a community college as of right now and plan on transferring to Henderson State University next August. I would like to to get my degree in Leisure Services-Recreation. I have done a little research on the topic but I do not fully grasp what the degree means. If anyone could shed some light on it I would greatly appreciate it.
How could degree programs in parks and recreation management prepare students better for careers?
You may like to look for, say a career oriented degree programme with options, projects, dissertations in recreation, leisure, sports management.I know graduates who took an estate management undergraduate degree with a leisure development option.When applying for their first jobs some were asked whether they would consider specialising in that field of real estate. ‘Yes’…. a few years later, at least one was head of her own department.
How to become a Recreational Therapist?
Recreational therapists are usually expected to have at least a bachelor's degree in therapeutic recreation. Sometimes, however, an associate’s degree is enough to land a job with less responsibility. In addition to studying the sciences, you'll get hands-on experience as an intern. Check out www.atra-tr.org/curriculumguide.htm for links to colleges with bachelor's and master's programs in this area. Becoming a certified therapeutic recreational specialist can make you a more attractive candidate for positions in this field. Before you can take the exam of the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification, however, you must earn a bachelor's degree.
What does sports and recreation means and what career can I join after studying this major?
I designed and delivered an optional course in recreational and leisure development. One or more of the students became as employed by real estate consultancies as specialist surveyors and valuers.In due course they dealt with clients who had or wanted such properties or needed advice on property taxation, etc.
Is a degree in IT good enough to get a job in information security, or do I need a CS one for that?
Ridza, I am so glad that you asked that question. In my experience of nearly 20 years in information security I have seen many different backgrounds. I counted the degrees that my managers have had. Two of my former managers, one in IT and one in information security had degrees that did not relate to anything technical at all. The security manager had a bachelor’s in what he said was ‘Family Recreation.’ And the IT manager had a degree in Outdoor Recreation. How odd is that? I have seen degree holders with Art History, English, and many other areas go into the information security field and succeed.I have a BS degree in Computer Information Systems that I finished after I spent 8 years at IBM.For you now, if you can handle a Computer Science degree, go for it. There are a growing number of degrees in Information Security available too, even at the community college level. Look at the website listings for NSA CAEs here:A State-by-State Guide to DHS and NSA Designated Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber DefenseAn example of a community college that is an NSA CAE is Red Rocks Community College:NSA, DHS Recognizes Red Rocks Community College as a Top Cyber Defense SchoolIn my opinion, taking a two-year Associate’s Degree in information security\cyber security is a good way of seeing if you like the information and enjoy the work. Then, if you decide to change course, you have only spent two years of your life on it. Plus, many community college courses can transfer to four-year schools.I hope that gives you a start in thinking about your future path. Choose carefully, and let me know where you are in a couple of years.Thank You.
How good is a bachelor's degree on special education?
my girlfriend is getting her bachelors on special ed, but she doesn't really want to become a teacher; what can she do besides teaching? she also doesn't want to get a masters and spend more years of her life studying (she'll graduate from her bachelors by age 40)
What can one do with a bachelor's degree in psychology?
You canNOT work as a private practitioner, nor can you consult in courtrooms, for businesses, or as unsupervised therapists. You must have at least a master's for that privilege. However... you *can* do therapeutic work... under the supervision of fully qualified (master's and above) psychologists. There are many state-funded counseling centers that have B.A.-degreed individuals working, who are supervised by fully licensed psychologists. You can also work as a case manager for non-profit organizations that provide services for developmentally challenged individuals, or in social work, such as state-run department of family services. You can also become a teacher in some cases... but more and more states are requiring master's degrees for that as well. However, substitute teaching is very within your reach, as only an associate's is required to be able to do that. You can also work in management positions for many types of businesses, from fast food to sales; all businesses benefit from the knowledge you have in how people "work". Where I live they have a thing called Drug Court, and the case manager for the court only has to have a B.A. So look around, be creative, and don't be afraid to try a job you might actually be quite qualified for. You never know, you just might find the dream job you've always wanted. ;)
