When you are choosing a degree to study, you might want to pick one that has the highest possibility of getting you a job as soon as you graduate. With that in mind, here are three degree qualifications that can lead directly to a job…
Medicine
Medicine degrees have the highest possibility of getting you a job straight out of University. This is partly because of the time you have committed to learning about medicine and training in one of its professions in that you know exactly what your career goals are. A qualification in medicine has a much clearer goal and destination that other degrees such as ones in English or other subjects. As you study medicine, you get a very specific set of skills that are in high demand for positions like doctors and nurses. These jobs are sought after due to the time it takes to become qualified and learn all of the necessary skills and techniques. This makes medicine one of the best degrees to study if you want a job as soon as you graduate. However, it does take far longer to graduate than other degrees.
Business
You don’t need a business degree to get a business related job. However, it will make it far easier as you will have a lot of knowledge from your degree to fall back on. If you have a degree in marketing, for example, and want to get a job in PR, then having this knowledge and the skills from your degree are going to surpass those from people with history degrees. Certain other business related positions require specific qualification. Accounting is a good example of this. In order to be an accountant, you need to have an accountancy qualification. This might be baked into your actual degree or something that you study for once you have graduated. Either way, having a business related degree such as a business management masters degree is going to give you a head start and make you a better candidate in job applications. For this reason, you want to have a business related career then you should get a business related degree.
Languages
Languages are an incredibly sought after skill. If you are fluent in a language and have a qualification confirming this, then there is very little limit to the type of job that you can do. You can work as a translator, work in another country doing whatever job you want or anything like that. This is because, in order to become fluent in a language it takes years of training, practice and dedication. It isn’t something that you can learn on the job as the whole job is knowing a language. This means that you will be highly sought after by employers across the world. Certain languages are more useful than others. Unfortunately, if you studied Welsh, then you won’t have the same opportunities as someone who learns French or Russian. However, knowing a language is always a good thing, and it will definitely open doors for you.
