Best Undergraduate Programs! Did you choose right?

Warning: this post may make you very, very angry.

I guess I chose the wrong major, because these are the five best majors right now for jobs according to Yahoo News, which ran this "story" here:  The Best of the Best: Undergrad Degrees.

BEST UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES 2012

Hot Pick #1: Bachelor's in Business Administration
Hot Pick #2: Bachelor's in Health Care Administration
Hot Pick #3: Bachelor's in Accounting
Hot Pick #4: Bachelor's in Communications
Hot Pick #5: Bachelor's in Computer Science





When I was an undergrad, there were few of these lists, so I really didn't know what to pick and choose from.  I guess it's good that kids today have something to guide them.  For that I am glad.



I wonder what the best graduate programs are...

And wait, there's more!

Hot Career #2: Paralegal!  (Hot Careers that are Hiring Now!!!!!!! )


Don't want to go through law school but still fascinated by the legal system? Good news, you don't have to spend the time and money on law school to get into the legal field.
Paralegals lawyers prepare for hearings, trials, and corporate meetings, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They might even get to research case law and write legal documents and arguments.

Hot Factors: The paralegal field could see its employment grow by 18 percent from 2010 to 2020, says the Department of Labor. Following cutbacks during the recent recession, some law firms are rebuilding their support staff by hiring paralegals, adds the Department. (THIS INFORMATION WAS NEVER SHARED ON PERRY MASON!!!!!!!)

"Paralegals can do things a lawyer can do for a lower cost, so it's necessary to have them readily available," says Crawford.  (yes, it is necessary to have 'em nearby at all times!)

Education Options: An associate's degree in paralegal studies is one common route to preparing for a paralegal career, according to the Department. If you already have a bachelor's degree, look into earning a certificate in paralegal studies.
