General Administration:

Industry, commerce, and the State Services are becoming more and more interested in employing science graduates for general, often non-technical work in a variety of administrative areas. Executive Trainee schemes have already been mentioned. Employers are particularly interested in science graduates entering jobs which require a quantitative approach.

In any administrative position, personality is probably more important than academic qualifications. A person thinking of a career in general administration will usually have participated in a number of student activities, and enjoy meeting a wide variety of people. Of course, a good academic record on top of this, is ideal.
