Accounting degrees can lead to a variety of different careers, and two of the most common are accountants and auditors. Accountants and auditors make sure that businesses are run efficiently, and they do so by providing the businesses with important financial information as well as by keeping very accurate records.
On a day-to-day basis, accounting usually includes bookkeeping, such as the tracking of expenses and revenue, payroll, and paying bills.
Advertising Design
Advertising can be an exciting field to work in, but it is also a very challenging and high-pressure environment, where most people will work on or manage several different projects at once, and must be able to manage their time effectively to complete all projects according to strict deadlines.
Working in Advertising requires the ability to:
- think creatively and imaginatively
- excellent written and verbal communication skills
- good interpersonal skills
- time-management and organizational skills
Architects, licensed professionals trained in the art and science of building design, transform people’s needs for places in which to live, work, and play into concepts and develop these concepts into plans of buildings that is then constructed by others.
Architects may be involved in all phases of development, from the initial discussion with the client through the entire construction process. Their duties require specific skills—designing, engineering, managing, supervising, and communicating with clients and builders. Architects spend a great deal of time explaining their ideas to clients, construction contractors, and others. Successful architects must be able to communicate their unique vision persuasively.
Civil Engineering
Civil Engineers are responsible for designing, planning, and managing construction and engineering projects that are often carried out on a very large scale. Civil Engineers typically specialize in a particular type of construction engineering.
A Civil Engineer might work on structural projects such as buildings, dams, and pipelines, on transportation projects such as railways and roads, and environmental, maritime, or geotechnical projects. Civil Engineers might work for local, state or federal government agencies, environmental agencies, construction companies, or consulting firms.
