<p>What do you think is the most marketable major in today’s world, and why?</p>
<p>Probably a professional degree (something in business or engineering, for example). But really, nothing has a great job market with the economy like it is. Our generation got kind of screwed over. Getting internships and having a high GPA are the biggest advantages you can have right now, I’d say.</p>
<p>Statistics will get you a job almost anywhere. But, as with any job in any field, connections are better than just a degree.</p>
<p>Creative writing</p>
<p>Communication is a very broad major that will help you get into a lot of entry level positions in virtually any industry. </p>
<p>Work your way up once you are in, network, socialize, and participate in the “in group” as much as you can. Eventually you will make the right connections.</p>
<p>I have told this story before on here but I know engineering majors who graduated with a 4.0 GPA top of the class, ended up on the unemployment line for over a year. </p>
<p>I also know some Latin American studies majors who interned at 4-5 different places, got opportunities to intern in New York, and one of them now works for the New York times. </p>
<p>Its amazing with making the right connections, and meeting the right people can do.</p>
<p>The general consensus, from what I’ve noticed on CC, is that engineering and hard science/math majors are the most marketable. </p>
<p>It kind of all depends on what you want to do though. It’s worth noting that we have yet to have a scientist/engineer president. Like everyone else has said, internships and work experience are really valuable in todays economy.</p>
<p>IDK about any majors, but as Mahina said most people think science and math majors are good right now.</p>
<p>Do internships and make connections. Get a part time job if you can as well. You need to have work experience.</p>
