I am almost ready to get a 2 year degree. The internet is too ambigious to look up what career I want. I want a sound career and sociologically and economically most of us end up in careers working for small buisnesses that get wipped out by larger firms (think walmart, mcdonalds.... then in computers , everything we have 7-8 automotive companies , In computers 7-8 alternatives. Im speaking in general, but id rather not work for a small firm or if I do a rather secure or high paying job. Afterall ... many work for small companies, but the pay does not compensate such layoff risk! What type of degree in the forseable future will be in just a general demand that if one firm does close i can job hop, and such an industry as criteria wont face eventual elimination (at least for 20 years) in the future? Im frustrated because im honestly smarter than to just get a degree, with monsterous debt, with no pay off. Which job gets a good share of the economy's resources in this service economy? I am not stopping with 2 year degree. Looking at 4 year then working then a masters. Looking for a job that lands me in a institution or working for high reward if its a small profile company. and I am in college looking at what degree direction to go to. I like and can work with math and science, good with computers but have not taken computer courses. just want to understand all of this better. It seems like all they hype in universities is professional jobs; doctor, lawyer ... etc. And the internet is too ambigious when using search engines.
