Find Federal Jobs For Your Major
U.S. Office of Personnel Management
To help you choose the right career field, we have prepared the following articles that group federal jobs by appropriate academic majors. As you study the table, please keep these facts in mind:
1. The jobs listed under each major are usually examples, not an all-inclusive list.
2. Many jobs do not require a college degree; job-related experience is just as good.
3. You can qualify for a large number of administrative jobs with a degree in any academic major.
Check out your major to see a list of corresponding federal government positions.

I have a degree in general geology. This site says I could be a geodisist or a geologist, but doesn't give explanation as to what the jobs would be...any help? Also It says that administrative jobs can be found with any degree. I am more interested in administrative positions....would the lack of a degree in that field hinder me?

DrSmith, I agree with you on linguistics. It's a science on it's own not just a foreign language. I should know 'cause i studied it. But it was part of my education not the whole of it.

I have a degree in comparative religion, and it says that program analyst is a job for such a major. What does that even consist of?

What about if you were to graduate with a bachelors in Criminology? I can't seem to find a job. I thought I'd have no problem finding work.

If source Inspection and quality engineering oversight is so critical, why are there no categories listed within this site with keywords QUALITY, MANUFACTURING, SUPPLIER QUALITY or Source Inspection and AUDITING?

Linguistics could be added to the list. Some Universities look at it as strictly a Humanities sub-field, others don't.
