The top 10 most common jobs done by the graduates we've analyzed (ranked most common to least) are:
Most people who graduated with an Education degree from Arizona State University tend to gravitate towards jobs that are quite relevant to their field of study. Many have taken on roles as teachers, especially in special education, elementary, and middle school settings. These positions directly apply the educational theories and teaching methodologies they learned during their studies, making them a perfect fit. Throughout the years, roles like Special Education Teacher, Team Lead, and various teaching positions in different school districts have emerged as the most common job types for these graduates.
However, not every job taken by Education degree holders is closely tied to education itself. Some graduates have ventured into roles that seem pretty far from teaching, like sales positions or visual merchandising. These positions often don’t require the specific skills or knowledge associated with education, which could be disheartening for someone who expected to use their degree. Still, the majority of the jobs held by these graduates are related to education, showing that there’s plenty of opportunity for those who want to remain in the educational field. It's a mix, but most Education grads stick to teaching roles where they can really put their learning into action.
Here is a visual representation of the most common words in job titles for Education graduates (this is across all Education graduates we've analyzed, not just those who went to Arizona State University):
Based on the career trajectories of graduates from Arizona State University with degrees in Education, it seems like many of them start off their professional journeys in roles directly related to teaching, especially in special education, classroom instruction, and support roles like school psychology. For example, those who graduated around 2010 primarily landed teaching positions right after graduation, with some quickly moving into leadership or specialized roles in schools. It appears that many of them stayed in the education sector, taking on various teaching positions as they gained experience. A few have even transitioned to roles like SpED Coordinator, maintaining a focus on special education throughout their careers. Overall, the first jobs after graduation are heavily tilted towards teaching, showing a strong alignment with their education degrees.
As we look at their career paths five to ten years later, a mixed picture unfolds. Some of these graduates remain in education, thriving as teachers or moving into administrative roles, which showcases a dedicated and stable career in the field. Others have ventured outside traditional teaching positions, exploring roles in school psychology or even moving into business-related roles, like strategic sourcing or training coordination. However, there are also graduates who seem to have strayed quite far from the education realm, with jobs in sales and other industries. This suggests that while a solid chunk of ASU Education graduates stick with teaching or educational roles, there’s a fraction that diverges into various other fields, often indicating a lack of fulfillment or interest in conventional education paths. All in all, it looks like a mix of stability and exploration, depending on the individual’s aspirations and opportunities that come their way over time.
Honestly, a Bachelor’s degree in Education can be a mixed bag when it comes to difficulty, and it really depends on your own interests and strengths. Arizona State University, like many colleges, has its challenges—there are classes that can get pretty intense, especially if you're diving into subjects like curriculum design or educational psychology. But if you’re passionate about teaching and working with kids, it might feel more like a fun journey than a struggle. Overall, it’s probably about average in terms of difficulty compared to other majors; you’ll have your tough moments, but it’s totally manageable if you stay organized and engaged. Just remember, it’s not all textbook stuff—there’s hands-on experience and lots of group work, which can mix things up a bit!
Most commonly, in the LinkedIn profiles we've looked at, it takes people 4 years to finish a Bachelor degree in Education.
From what I'm seeing in these LinkedIn profiles of ASU Education grads, it looks like their earnings might be a mixed bag. Many of them started right out of college as teachers, which typically starts on the lower end of the salary scale—especially if you’re in a public school setting. Roles like Special Education Teacher or School Psychologist can offer higher salaries over time, but they often don’t hit those higher numbers right away. On the flip side, some grads shifted into managerial or specialized roles that could mean better pay, like the graduate who moved from being a teacher to a Construction Supply Chain Manager. Overall, while some may be doing well now, it seems like they likely faced some years of lower pay right after college before moving up the financial ladder.
