Cool degree and employment...

Certain college majors attract people like bees to honey. These are degrees that seem fun in and of themselves, or seem like they will help you prepare for cool jobs down the road. But just because a degree program looks like a great idea at first glance, doesn't mean it's the right one for you. If you're looking at a degree as a springboard to a promising career search, there are bigger factors than coolness to consider.
"Some degrees are just more marketable than others because employers know exactly what skills the graduate has acquired," says Kevin Anthony Williams, a Dallas, Texas-based career coach. "Media influence has glamorized certain careers and has led to a lot of students getting degrees in really cool areas, such as sports management, fashion design, and music. These degrees are cool-sounding and glamorous, but the competition is very stiff, and the majority of the jobs are concentrated in only a few select parts of the country."
So when it comes to future employment, how do you know which degrees are not so cool and which deserve a longer look?
