There are up to 20 thousand distinctly different occupations that the US Federal Government classifies with specific job titles and different job descriptions. These can be found in the Dictionary of Occupations Titles, or the DOT. http://www.wave.net/upg/immigration/dot_index.html This can be overwhelming! Of course, most of the people we know work in only 500 of the most popular jobs

One way to simplify this information is to think of them in clusters: All occupations can be organizes into one of 16 Career Clusters. When considering a college major or occupation to prepare for, first think of your cluster. Try to identify what cluster you belong to. All of Cumberland's degree and certificate programs can be found in the front of the college catalog, and on our web page. Here are the career clusters and Cumberland's degree programs which match them.
