The tables below present the occupations that are most commonly associated
with a degree in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies. We have separated the tables
depending on whether we examine graduates who stop their education with the
bachelors degree in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies, and those who get either a masters
in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies, a Ph.D. in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies.
While the list above describes the occupations of students with advanced degrees in
Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies some students with a bachelors degree in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies will get advanced
degrees in other fields. The tables listed below descibe the types of advanced degrees
that were chosen by students with a bachelors in Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies.
Since all of the above tables present information on the average salary,
it is possible to lose sight of the fact that some majors place students
in jobs with a narrow range of salaries near to the mean while others
place students in many different income categories. For this reason,
we have drawn two frequency distributions (histograms) of Recreation, Leisure & Fitness Studies Salaries.
