With graduation just around the
corner for the class of 2013, it is important to know what jobs and majors have
the best outlook. Students across the country are probably asking themselves
many questions, such as: do the costs of a four-year college outweigh the
benefits? Is it a better bargain to go to a trade school or a two-year college
instead of a four-year school? How much money will I earn?
In demand careers, such as surgeons,
pharmacists, and computer software engineers may make a minimum salary of
$94,000. The nursing profession is estimated to have 581,000 new openings
within the next 8-10 years. Not all high paying careers require a four-year
college degree, such as being a Dental Hygienist, which can make an average of
$68,000, or an Online Advertising Manager, where you can earn $87,000. Below are some charts that have been compiled
to guide your career decisions.
