Master Degree: Education Degrees and Programs
If any job can be called recession-proof, it's education. The teaching profession as a whole has remained steady with respect to employment for many years now, particularly for candidates with a master's degree in education. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and secondary school teachers, except special education teachers, held about 4 million jobs in 2006. Employment is projected to increase by 12 percent through 2016; that's about as fast as the national average for all occupations.
Candidates with advanced college degrees should have the edge in hiring. Typical coursework for a master's degree in education includes higher education in the United States, curricula in higher education, research design, and qualitative methods. Popular career tracks for graduates with a master's degree in education include K-12 teacher, special education instructor, department head, administrator, and graduation counselor. As primary schools develop newer methods of instruction, the need for qualified online elementary school teachers will provide additional opportunities for grads.
