Where could a degree take you next?
Choose the role you hold today and explore three next-level roles that typically call for a degree, with official US pay and outlook data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
US figures from O*NET OnLine, U.S. Department of Labor: median annual wages (2025) and projected growth (2025–2035). Pay varies by location, employer and country. Every figure links to its O*NET source page.
Good to know
Where does the data come from?
Pay and growth figures come from O*NET OnLine, the occupation database of the U.S. Department of Labor: median annual wages for 2025 and projected growth for 2025 to 2035. Typical preparation reflects each occupation’s O*NET Job Zone.
Will a degree lead straight to these roles?
A degree can open the door, and many of these roles also look for experience, which you already bring. Employers decide on hiring, and pay varies by location, employer and country, so treat these figures as a guide to the possibilities.
What about the UK and Australia?
Job titles and pay differ by country. The UK’s National Careers Service and Australia’s Your Career service publish official profiles for local roles, and your Pathway Specialist can point you to the programs that suit your goals in each country.
