For help researching career fields try this site: www.princetonreview.com Also, if you're unsure about what specific career you want to go into, you can try majoring in a broad subject area that would open up a lot of career options. (ex: biology major- biology teacher, biologist, working in a lab, going onto med school) Careers that are in demand are usually medical technicians, like polysomnograph techs, lab techs, things of that nature.

First you need to determine what it is that is your goal. If "any career" will do then it doesn't matter which you pick. I suspect you're not really that open. I also suspect that you have a certain set of skills, abilities, and talents that will direct you more toward some careers than others. An occupational interest inventory (available from your university career counselor) might really help you narrow your interests in some direction. Your concern about future employability is valid. It's best to base those sorts of decisions on quantifiable facts and not on "I keep hearing...". The nice people at the US Dept of Labor were kind enough to make us a list of the 50 occupations that require a college degree that are expected to have the most openings between now and 2016 - those are indeed "were the jobs are" no matter what anyone "thinks" is the case. Some on the list might surprise you - it seems some occupational groups try to keep out the competition for jobs by telling everyone that there are no jobs.http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview2.asp?… You'll find several specialties of engineers on that top 50 list. Along with a lot of the other fields people will tell you there are no jobs for (college teachers, business managers, etc...)http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview3.asp?… is a list of the top 50 jobs in the US (requiring a bachelor's or higher) that have the most people employed in them. These are real numbers, not what some people think. A huge percentage of these are in education (at all levels) and an almost equally huge percentage is in the business sector. Engineering and technology are way up there too. Ancient Egyptian Archaeologists aren't on either list - but if that were something you really wanted to do, you should go for. These lists are here to show you some facts on "where the jobs are" Then there's the list of highest paying occupations for those who are all about the money. http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview5.asp?… You'll notice that some jobs are on all three lists. That means that it pays good, there are plenty of opportunities, and there are plenty of openings. Those, if you like the work, would be ideal careers to consider. You’ve asked a lot of question here.
