While studies show that a college degree is a big step toward more wealth and happiness, employers prefer some degrees more than others.
Wondering which college degree will offer the most possibilities for your future? Experts agree that choosing a versatile major is a great start.
"Looking at the trend, the basic skills that a versatile, more broad-based degree offers can be really appealing to a wide range of businesses. It doesn't matter what the business is," says Michael Brandt, COO of recruiting software firm BrightMove, Inc.
Degree #1 - Bachelor's in Business Administration
You'll not only be able to focus on an area of business that most interests you by taking more specialized classes, you'll also learn about a broad range of topics in finance, marketing, and management, ensuring your career flexibility.
Degree #2 - Master's in Business Administration (MBA)
Simply put, "an MBA tells businesses that this person has taken it to the next level," says Brandt. He adds that it also allows the graduate to approach virtually any business, with a chance at a career in a variety of areas.
Degree #3 - Bachelor's in Accounting
The reason is clear, according to SmartMove's COO Brandt. "What is the first thing any business has to do?" he asks. "They have to manage their money. So understanding general accounting rules is very attractive to any business owner."
Degree #4 - Bachelor's in Communications
It's never been more important for companies to market their message than in today's speed-of-the-web, social media society, so a degree in communications could open up any number of possible career paths. And most are very exciting, like brand building, marketing, corporate communications, writing, and so many others.
Degree #5 - Bachelor's in Information Technology
In the information age, technology is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity, making a bachelor's in information technology one of the most desirable and flexible degrees available.
