Skills and related work experience are becoming more essential to the post-degree job search. Many students struggle to find work experience that is beneficial to their course of study. Some believe their degree alone will be enough to get them the job they want. Many disciplines on this campus and other campuses require that there be work experience with academics. We feel that every student's best interest is to gain career experience related to their education.
Education has to be a major component.
There are however many types of positions, where a liberal arts major could have a very good entry-level position. Spisak believes that work experience related to a student's career field is advantageous to all students, especially to those who are somewhat undecided, as a means to 'test' whether they will like working in the field of their major. The advantage is going to be to make sure that the career field they have selected is right for them. I think that your degree and major need to be a good match and a good fit for what you want to do. Eddie Stewart, from Interim Career Counseling in Indianapolis, agrees that work experience related to a degree is essential, especially when the degree is specialized.
