Majoring in the Unusual

For high schoolers plotting their future careers, these are confusing times. On the one hand, there’s cause for optimism: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) pro­jects that the U.S. economy will add 15.6 million jobs in the decade between 2006 and 2016. But those jobs won’t be evenly split across regions or industries. Many economic sectors, like manufacturing, will see declines in the number of new workers they take on. New entrants into the labor force will be forced to compete with workers overseas for the best jobs. How does the modern college freshman navigate this uneven terrain? One strategy is to plan for a degree in an unusual field. Among the most eye-catching: Sustainable Business, Computer and Digital Forensics, Comic Book Art, Nanoscience/Nanotechnolgy, and Strategic Intelligence.
