Harvard Bachelor - What job opportunities are there?

<p>Can you get a Bachelor degree for more than 1 subject after going to Harvard College?
What job opportunities are there for a person who gets his bachelor from Harvard College (for example in Biology)?</p>

<p>Did you not ask this question already? Please stop flooding the boards. If you are an admitted student, as you say you are, the admissions office has a section where you can ask undergraduates questions of this nature and I’m sure you’ll get a better response than what you could find on CC.</p>

<p>But that is what Cc is for. </p>

<p>The American educational system is different, apparently, than in Europe. The vast majority of people leave college with a BA and then take jobs that may have little direct relationship to their undergraduate studies. Yes, bio majors can do somethings that history majors cannot, and vice versa, but most end up with jobs that do not require any of the specialized knowledge they acquired in college. Most Harvard graduates end up getting at least a masters degree, but often after a few years of work and figuring out what they want the masters in. </p>

<p>If, as you suggested elsewhere, you want to practice law or medicine, then it becomes simple: it will be better, and much cheaper, to get your education in Europe if you want to stay in Europe. It will be far more useful to get your education in the US if you want to work in the US. If you want to practice medicine in the US you are far better off going to med school in the US. You can do college in Europe, that’s fine, but coming to the US after med school creates lots of complications. It is even worse if you do your clinical training in Europe and then come to America.</p>

<p>I don’t think you can get a bachelors degree in more than one thing at Harvard, although many other American colleges permit this. It is not particularly useful, and Harvard graduates are amazingly successful.</p>

<p>Get a Harvard a degree and you’re pretty much set for life, barring any major disasters or mistakes.</p>

<p>You can do joint concentrations in more than one field at Harvard.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Not really. At least not in the US. You still have to deliver on the job. Five years out of college and no one will care very much where you went to college. Beyond landing your first job, your work experience and achievements on the job will be much more important to your continued success.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No. After your first job, what counts the most is what your former employers say about you.</p>

<p>^ Yes but getting your first job in the first place is the big deal.</p>

<p>^^Sure getting that first job is important, but at that point you’ve got more than 40 more years of employment ahead of you. And in the vast majority of that time you will be judged on how well you do your job, not on where you went to school. </p>

<p>I’m a big Harvard fan, and it can certainly be an eye-catcher on a resume when looking for that first job, but that doesn’t even begin to equal being “set for life.”</p>
