  • Many colleges and universities across the United States offer programs in special education at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree levels. Special education teachers often undergo longer periods of training than do general education teachers. Most bachelor's degree programs last four years and include general and specialized courses in special education. However, an increasing number of institutions are requiring a fifth year or other graduate-level preparation. Some programs require specialization, while others offer generalized special education degrees. The last year of the program usually is spent student teaching in a classroom supervised by a certified special education teacher.

  •   What is this job like? Back to Top Reporters gather information and write news stories. These stories appear in newspapers and magazines. Some reporters appear on television and radio. To get information, reporters look at documents. They also observe the scene and interview people. Reporters write about events. These include things such as an accident, a rally, or a company going out of business. Radio and television reporters often report "live" from the scene. News correspondents mostly work in large U.S. cities. Some report from foreign cities covering the events in the city.

      This sounds like an interesting career to have. A college degree in journalism is preferred to become a journalist or reporter.

  • Civil engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.
