It wasn’t so long ago that the flexibility of a business degree was enough to open all kinds of doors to a motivated graduate. But these days you not only need a major in business, but also a minor in communications, not to mention an emphasis in social media. And it couldn’t hurt to have a second major in the industry you intend to enter, be it hospitality, video games, alternative energy, or whatever strikes your fancy. The point is that the job market has changed, and majors that were enjoying job growth even a decade ago have now become over-saturated. Just look at the field of graphic design. However, there are a number of majors you might select that stand to deliver not only lower than average unemployment rates (even in a recession), but also the potential for a livable salary.
