In the good old days, a college degree was seen as a requirement for getting better employment opportunities and a better life. And although these things haven’t really changed over the years, the demand and ranking of different programs have. These days, certain college degrees tend to guarantee employment better than others. If you want to get the most bang out of your cash loan, pursuing these in-demand degrees is your best bet. Let’s dive in and take a look at some of them.
Biology
There’s presently a growing field in biological sciences you shouldn’t ignore. Aside from being a major you can use to go to medical school and becoming an MD or psychiatrist, it can also give you opportunities in fields like genetics, biotechnology, ecology, and environmentalism. Plus, the world moves at a breakneck pace, with many aspects of the modern economy increasingly centering around biology.
Chemical Engineering
We’re all living with an aging population, with the younger generation not having as many children as the previous ones. This leaves us with two or three generations of older people that are highly reliant on medications and pharmaceuticals, as well as a very competitive market for newer and better prescription drugs. This is a need chemical engineers can meet. Furthermore, corporations desire to have cutting-edge better products from fertilizers to detergents. For that, they need chemical engineers, too!
Nursing
If you check the job boards, there are constant posts for nursing employment abroad. There’s simply not enough certified nurses to fit the bill outside the Philippines. Sure, this degree has its separate testing and licensing requirements, and tons of hospital beds, laboratories, doctors, offices, and clinics hire only nurses with the proper certifications. But with the aging and growing population we have today, more people face health problems. So if you’re looking for a practical answer to employment, this is definitely a good choice.
Psychology
Psychology is an intriguing and engaging degree for many people. The paths following a psychology degree range from a licensed counselor to psychiatrist or child therapist. The catch with this degree is it almost always requires a further investment in a secondary degree or certification; so if you’re planning to pursue this degree, you better have enough emergency funds. The upside is, this degree can provide a fulfilling and lucrative life to those intrigued by human behavior. The mental health system alone relies heavily on psychological knowledge and training.
Final Thoughts
In case you’re wondering who’s still hiring for a degree and what degrees are marketable today and hopefully in the future, the majors mentioned above are some examples. So if you want to have a lucrative career in the future, then better pursue these courses.
