Note 1 : Some of the above job/career titles require advanced degrees or specialized training.

Note 2 : Degrees alone do not get student jobs. Internships, externships, summer jobs, volunteer work, part-time jobs, work-study positions, and active participation in student organizations on campus are all ways to become more competitive in a tight job market.
