7 Steps to Choosing a Degree.
Don\'t Jeopardize Your Future; choose the right degree for you!
May 11, 2006 - It sometimes can be difficult to choose a degree, as there are so many options and so much information to consider. You can get it right if you consider your plan carefully. Here are 7 steps to help you get started.
Step 1: Consider your interests. Don\'t just go for a career because the money is great. You will find it harder to complete your degree let alone be in that particular career for years if you dislike the work that you are doing.
To avoid this happening to you, sit down and consider your interests. What are you passionate about and what do you like doing?
To can gain a better idea of which degree would suit you, research as much as possible. Research your career by visiting with employers to gain first hand knowledge of what you will be doing as an employee in that particular field. I would even suggest doing volunteer work experience in the field for a couple of weeks.
Step 2: Look at your Competency & Capabilities. You have to consider your abilities, are you academically minded or are you manually skilled? Are you suited to a degree or should you pursue a trade?
Step 3: Establish which Study Mode should you use. Consider what your commitments and time constraints are. Are you a student just leaving school with lots of time on your hands or do you work full time, have a partner and three children to support? By considering these questions it will help you decide weather full time attendance to a university to achieve your degree or an online university degree is suitable for you.
Full time attendance means that you will need to attend lectures, tutorials and study groups at set times during the day or night at the university, which is something to consider if you have full time employment already.
An online university degree is completed via the Internet. Depending on the degree, generally no attendance to a university is required. This is a great option for someone who is challenged by time restraints and family commitments. To gain more information on online degrees visit www.bachelordegreeinfo.com.
Step 4: Consider the Costs and any available Income assistance. Earning a degree will usually take you anywhere from 3 to 6 years depending on the duration or type of degree, some take longer. You need to consider what expenditure is involved in your chosen degree.
You also need to look at how you will survive whilst earning your degree. Consider how you will fund your degree and living expenses; can your parents put you through university? Can you get a scholarship? Will you have to work part time to help fund your university degree?
Research your study mode options to gaining a degree, compare prices of online study mode to university attended study mode and see if there are differences in costs for your degree.
Step 5: Look at what Degrees are in Demand. You really need to look at the market and see if your degree will give you the great future that you deserve.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) conducted a survey to gain the top degrees that are in demand by employers. The following 10 is what they came up with:
Bachelor Degree: · Mechanical engineering · Electrical engineering · Accounting · Business administration/ management · Economics/finance · Computer science · Information sciences and systems · Marketing/marketing management · Computer engineering · Chemical engineering
Step 6: Career Opportunities. Some university degrees offer a variety of career opportunities and fields that enable the graduate to become qualified for a range of careers. You may gain more options for employment areas in one particular degree over another.
Another option is to take a double degree; it involves a student working towards two different university degrees in parallel.
Step 7: Your Level of Commitment. Do you have a serious attitude towards getting a degree because most degrees require a large level of time and commitment weather it be an online degree or a university attended degree. For example, for one subject attended at a university you may be required to attend anywhere from 2 to 6+ hours per week in lectures, tutorials, and laboratories. You will also be expected to complete a considerable amount of weekly reading, as well as assessments and assignments then study time for examinations. Obviously by doing an online degree you will not be required to attend any lectures, tutorials or laboratories, but you will still be expected to do weekly reading, assignments assessments and examinations.
By taking into consideration the above 7 steps you should have more of an idea of what degree and study mode will be best suited for you. Now you can get into the exciting part of choosing a university!
