Many college students struggle when it comes time to declare a major. There are many college students and recent graduates on our panel who have majored in political science or English and end up with an entry level job at an ad agency. According to a recent report, college students in need of some career direction should listen up. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the economy will generate upwards of 200,000 new job opportunities in the engineering field by the year 2014. The report goes on to mention that the most promising field within engineering right now is chemical engineering where several large employers have already been on campuses aggressively recruiting soon to be grads with promises of sign on bonuses and many other perks. Two other majors to note include physical therapy (someone has to take care of the aging baby boomer population) and accounting (you're familiar with Sarbanes/Oxley, right?).
