A four-year degree in economics may prepare a student for any one of several jobs in a bank or a business.

  • A four-year degree in English may serve as background for elementary or secondary school teaching or for work as an editor with a magazine.

  • In Chart 1, below, there is a partial listing of different occupations and the educational background generally required or recommended for each. Some people who go on to acquire jobs in the four-year-college column obtain a graduate degree or some graduate education, but many of these jobs can be filled by people who do not have more than a four-year college education. For more information on the educational requirements of specific jobs, contact a guidance counselor or check the latest copy of the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, in your library. (See the last section of this handbook for information on this book and other publications that discuss jobs.)
