I was riding the bus home from the university the other day and\u2026[true confession]\u2026eavesdropping on a conversation four young men were having. One of them said, \u201cWhat can you do with a degree in psychology?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 There was silence for a moment as they considered the question. Then \u201cWork at Wal-Mart\u201d was the reply, followed by snorting and laughter.<\/p>\n

As someone with a psychology degree I wanted to turn around and say \u201csome of us with psychology degrees have gone on to live useful lives and found meaningful employment\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 But I restrained myself.<\/p>\n

After all how were they to know what jobs\/careers a psych major can do? Or with any degree for that matter? We often have limited views of what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not always easy to see where your education could take you. Many post-secondary institutions have incredibly useful information on \u201cwhat can you do with a degree or major in\u2026[fill in the blank]\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recently, LinkedIn created a new suite of products for students. These products are aimed at prospective & current students, alumni, schools and employers.\u00a0\u00a0 There are University rankings, University Finders, a Field of Study Explorer and you can create a Decision Board. You can find them at https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/edu\/<\/a> . In order to have a look at these you do have to have a LinkedIn account.<\/p>\n

If you have a profile on LinkedIn the Field of Study Explorer will start with your field of study. For example, my profile shows that my field of study is Psychology. I can view over 2 million people who have studied psychology. I can see where they work, what they do and where they went to school. Cool!<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t find anyone who worked at WalMart though I did find people who worked at Target\u2026in a wide range of fascinating jobs that I would never have thought about.<\/p>\n

You can click on the \u2018explore more\u2019 button to widen the options.<\/p>\n

Imagine you have a student who wants to study history.\u00a0\u00a0 Quite quickly you can find over 1 million people who have studied history. A glance through the job titles gives a wealth of information that you wouldn\u2019t be able to find any other way.<\/p>\n

I will be using this feature a lot!<\/p>\n
