After finishing their Intermediate or A-Levels, the major question for most Pakistani students is to decide on which degree program to pursue at the university level. While this choice may be influenced to a significant degree by other considerations, such as family pressure, financial constraints, or individual interest, it is mostly decided by the personal perception of which program would give the greatest financial return in the shortest possible time. As an educational consultancy with a global reach, Edceum offers its clients dozens of different degree courses from numerous foreign universities and, in our opinion, there are currently four undergrad programs that are likely to give graduates lucrative salaries as well as stable careers. Therefore, without further ado, let us present our list of the best degrees for 2021:
1) Business Analytics
Over the past couple of decades, the field of business analytics has become highly lucrative as companies and organizations have become increasingly focused on using statistical data for a variety of purposes, such as predicting market trends and developing new products. This situation has ensured the profitability of a Business Analytics degree at both the undergrad and postgrad levels. One of the greatest advantages of choosing this program is that graduates can find employment in a wide variety of fields, in both the public and private sector. Another benefit is that Business Analytics is taught at nearly every foreign university so interested students have multiple options to choose from. However, it goes without saying that degrees from recognized institutions carry much more weight with potential employers than those from obscure or relatively unknown graduate schools.
In conclusion, deciding on what degree to go for can be a daunting task. However, when making a final choice a student should always consider whether or not they actually want to study a particular field. If the answer is no then they shouldn’t pursue the associated degree, no matter how lucrative it looks, because it is unlikely that they would be able to excel in it or find much enjoyment in their upcoming academic journey.
2) Management Information Systems
While the ongoing digitization of nearly every aspect of human society has created high demand for computer professionals, not all computer majors are getting the same recognition and for some specializations, there are even high rates of unemployment due to an overabundance of graduates. However, one computer program that is currently experiencing excessive demand is MIS (Management Information Systems), a degree that teaches how to build and maintain digital systems that oversee all types of data within an institution for various administrative purposes. Graduates of MIS are oftentimes able to find employment as IT specialists in large public or private organizations and economic experts believe that their low rate of unemployment, which presently stands at around 5%, is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
3) Medical Technology
Due to the rapidly rising demand for healthcare throughout the world, the need for medical devices and machinery is at an all-time high. This situation has caused the entire healthcare industry to expand at a nearly unprecedented rate and caused a shortage of medical technologists, professionals who operate and maintain the complex machinery used in hospitals, research centers, laboratories, and other health-related institutions. Because of this state of affairs, employers in the health sector are currently offering highly lucrative starter salaries to university graduates who have a degree in medical technology. This trend would likely continue as the global healthcare industry continues to expand, particularly in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. So, if you are a fresh high school graduate who is looking to make easy money and has a dual interest in biology as well as engineering then a Bachelors in Medical Technology may just be the program for you.
4) Chemical Engineering
Due to various geopolitical events and socioeconomic considerations, such as rising poverty and the US-China trade war, countries these days are investing heavily in technological research as well as trying to ramp up their local industrial production. This state of affairs has created a high demand for engineering graduates and unemployment among them is at unbelievably low levels. However, even among engineering programs, some specializations give a much higher financial return than others and few are more lucrative or give better job opportunities than chemical engineering. Graduates of this degree program, which deals mostly with chemistry, biology, and physics, can find employment in nearly every type of industry, from pharmaceuticals to aviation. They also earn excellent salaries, especially in the US where their median earnings are above $75,000. Similarly, the widespread availability of this degree in foreign universities is a definite plus for students who want to compare different programs before making a choice.
