With
the rising academic tuition fees and evolving job scenario, if
anything matters most, is choosing the appropriate stream to go with.
The distinct educational stream, with which one achives his/her
graduation degree, can either set up a lifetime career and high
earning or sink into a heap of disappointments.
Consequently,
today's education is not only for education's sake, it more tends to
incline towards the need of employers.
When
Education Is Job Oriented
National
Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has done a survey that
reflects the desire of the eminent corporate employers. Noticing &
measuring the hiring process of some big corporate houses like
Chevron,
ConAgra
Foods,

NACE has pointed some university degrees, that top at the employers'
list. They are Engineering, Business, Accounting/Finance,Computer

Employers
from many IT sectors, banks, finance & consulting areas and many
other prominent business sectors desire to recruit employees with expertise like logical thinking, problem solving & strong numeracy, which are an engineer's key skills.
Many
large engineering employers call for Mining, mechanical, electrical,
petroleum and metallurgical engineering courses, as job opportunities
continue to grow larger in these sectors.

One
of the fundamental qualities that recruiters seek in an employee, is
having good commercial awareness. Students, studying business,
possess that comprehension, that they effectively apply to the job.
Be it an undergraduate business degree or an MBA, the analytical &
problem solving ability and the ability to think logically will earn
the business degree holders both money and placements.
Accounting/Finance-
Every
large or small business sector, be it good or bad time, is in the
need for accountants with a clear knowledge of finance. So plenty of
opportunities are out there.
According
to Bill Demario, chief operating officer of Ajilon Professional
Staffing, “By 2016 there will be a dramatic need for more
accountants”.

Though
US has recently witnessed a significant uplift of career scopes in
Computer Science & IT, the prowess that the study of these stream
offers is valued on a global scale. The GCA’s December 2011 ‘Grad Stats’ survey found that a computer science graduate’s starting
salary was approximately AU$51,000.
Economics
A
degree in economics provides one with a wide array of both
subject-specific and transferable skills. All these skills are highly
sought after by employers from different genres like banking,
accountancy, tax advice, acturial work, insurance & trading.
Some
Other Degrees, Worth Having
- Health Care & Medicine

research, done by Graduate Careers Australia (GCA), displays that,

- Education
It
is conspicuous that the demand of mathematicians will never fade
away. Research shows that 86.5% of degree holders land with jobs
within 6 months of graduation, being employed to eminent positions.
- Human Resources Management
With
the rapid growth of resources, engineering and health industries ,
the need for top-down organisation are also uplifting. Taking right
decisions and maintaining order within the company, as well as
handling relations with others in the industry, do play a vital part
in an organization's success.
To
Conclude
Now-a-days,
pursuing a graduate degree in the distinct fields that lead to
specific professional positions more tends to be the goal of study
and having academic qualification rather than acquire knowledge.
