PUBLIC MARKS from adfunk with tags jobs & 2006

If you’re currently pondering what to settle on as your major–or even if you’re just curious what tomorrow’s job applicants are majoring in today–here’s a top 10 list for you. A word of warning: The popularity of majors often has little to do with actual demand for related fields in the workplace. The career fields with the most opportunities do not always appeal to the student masses. And the majors that sound most exciting to students don’t always lead to equally snazzy-sounding jobs.

After spending weeks — or months — diligently looking for the perfect job, the last thing you want is to be forced back onto the job market. A few wrong steps, however, and you might see a pink slip before a paycheck. If you want to guarantee your spot in the unemployment line, try some of these moves: 1. Don’t bother learning what’s expected of you. Sit down with your manager and make sure you understand exactly what your job entails, your deadlines and any relevant department policies. This eliminates ambiguity and ensures you’ll know how your performance measures up.
