Quick Guide to College Majors and Careers

Every career does not relate directly to a college major. In fact, many careers require a degree but have no direct majors with which they are associated. Now there's a one-of-a-kind reference - The Quick Guide to College Majors & Careers - that relates education to vocations in a straightforward, simple way. The Quick Guide examines & describes more than 100 college majors. Each major has a section that includes: * A description of the occupational orientation of the major * Areas of specialization typically offered within the major * Courses required to achieve the major, including subject matter of courses * Recommended high school courses * Related occupations with details like average salary, job outlook, important work values, important skills, important work activities, work context, representative specific work tasks Too often, students do not take the high school courses they need in order to be prepared for college. The Quick Guide includes recommended high school courses for each major, a feature that can save students from needing remedial courses or missing out on the major they want. The Quick Guide to College Majors & Careers is the best new reference available for students to quickly relate their career interests to relevant college majors.Shatkin, Laurence is the author of 'Quick Guide to College Majors and Careers' with ISBN 9781563708343 and ISBN 1563708345.
