-- Posted by Raspy at 9:37 pm on July 9, 2008 I'm doing a major in Journalism and Sociology and a minor in public relations. Do you think I have good employment prospects when I've graduated. -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 9:39 pm on July 9, 2008 In this day and age, just having a degree doesn't mean a whole lot.  There are people with degrees getting turned down for jobs they normally would be over-qualified for.  Any kind of college degree is a plus in a potential employers eyes, but it all depends on what kind of job you're going for.  If you're applying to be a Journalist, probably have a very good chance, if you're applying for a fry cook at McDonalds, it won't make much difference what degree it is. -- Posted by runthespread at 9:42 pm on July 9, 2008 It depends on what school you go to and where you're looking for work. I'm not sure but I don't think those studies are in high demand right now, it's more Accounting and Finance at the moment. -- Posted by TheRedreaper at 9:47 pm on July 9, 2008 What's really in high demand is I.T. What's in demand might not make too much of a difference, due to time and money already dedicated to the field. Try to start small, and you'll probably get what you need to lead you to better career options. -- Posted by Krelian393 at 9:47 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from runthespread at 12:42 am on July 10, 2008 It depends on what school you go to and where you're looking for work.

No, there is always demand if you look hard enough and if location isn't a limitation. No two or three or four things are ever  the ones that are really "in demand" unless you're talking specific states and regions within states, in my opinion. Also, luck and networking play huge roles. -- Posted by runthespread at 9:59 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Krelian393 at 9:47 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from runthespread at 12:42 am on July 10, 2008 It depends on what school you go to and where you're looking for work.

I kind of agree to an extend. You can look hard but there are that many more people you're competing with for the same job. In this economy, businesses are cutting back what they don't need and are more picky with who they hire. Accounting and Finance majors are generally in demand right now. Networking plays a big role, for sure. -- Posted by TigressaLynnMae at 3:32 pm on July 10, 2008 I wouldn't guarantee it. You might want to continue with Graduate School. Thankfully, in my degree, I'm guaranteed a job as soon as I get my Initial Degree. :)
