Jewish Studies as a major is versatile and helps develop useful skills anywhere. The student’s college major is only one of many variables to be considered when developing his career plans. Many careers do not require a specific major, but rather a wide range of demonstrated skills and accomplishments. Regardless of the career choices, increase marketability to employers through internships, responsible work experience, good grades and involvement in college activities.
