While healthcare, technology and finance are some of the most in-demand fields, that does not mean it’s not worthwhile to pursue a degree in something else! Employment is expected to rise in education, law, media, social sciences and so many other fields.

In addition to researching the projected growth and income potential, consider your work history, educational background and your own personal interests when deciding which field is right for you.

If you’re still feeling lost, a personality assessment may help point you in the right direction. The well-known Myers-Briggs tests are extremely thorough, but you will have to pay for the report. For a free, scaled down test, check out The Princeton Review’s Career Quiz.
