Registered Nurses To become registered nurses，you're going to need either an associate degree in nursing，a Bachelor of Science in nursing，or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program.If you want to be a practicing physician，you'll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four­year degree.

Plumbers(管道工) and Electricians Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four­year undergraduate degree.There's a serious demand for skilled positions or jobs like plumbers and technicians.Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field，but don't necessarily require graduation from a four­year university. Cybersecurity(网络安全) Experts The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80，000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director.The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor's degree in computer science，information technology，engineering，or other related fields. 1．In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced?
