Looking at the career trajectories of Texas A&M graduates in Multi-Interdisciplinary Studies, it's clear many have found their way into education, particularly as teachers or in roles supporting education. For those graduating around 2010, it’s common to see teaching positions as their first job—often starting out in elementary education and gradually moving into leadership roles like assistant principal or instructional coach.

It seems like this degree has a strong connection to the education sector, reflecting a genuine commitment to teaching and academic leadership. That's a positive trajectory for those passionate about education and impacting students' lives.
As we move to more recent graduates, such as those from 2018 to 2022, the pattern continues with many starting right in teaching positions, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. Some have branched out into areas like curriculum development or have taken on roles that combine education with other interests, such as a graphic designer or retail manager. While not everyone has stuck strictly to education, many still find meaningful careers that leverage their skills in communication, leadership, and teamwork developed during their studies.

However, if you’re not super organized or motivated, juggling different subjects might get tricky. At Texas A&M, you've got a solid support system and resources to help, but it still comes down to your effort and how you handle the workload.

Some have transitioned into more varied roles, like one person moving into tech recruiting at companies like Google and Expedia, which might suggest they’re making better money now. Overall, it looks like while they’ve gained valuable experience, they might not be pulling in massive salaries right away, but it could improve as they climb the ladder or shift into higher-paying sectors.
