Recreation workers plan, organize, and direct these activities in local playgrounds and recreation areas, parks, community centers, religious organizations, camps, theme parks, and tourist attractions. Increasingly, recreation workers also are found in businesses where they organize and direct leisure activities for employees.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>RECREATION: ASSOCIATE IN ARTS<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Select 18 units from the following: Units<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>RECR 1510 Introduction to Recreation and Leisure Service 3<br \/>\nRECR 1516 Outdoor Recreation 3<br \/>\nPSYC 1500 Introduction to Psychology 3<br \/>\nPSYC 2003 Child Growth and Development 3<br \/>\nPSYC 2033 Personal and Social Adjustment 3<br \/>\nSPCH 1511 Fundamentals of Speech 3<br \/>\nBIOL 1500 Fundamentals of Biology 3<br \/>\nANTH 1512 Cultural Anthropology 3<br \/>\nDRAM 1535 Elementary Acting 3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total 18<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>CAREER OPTIONS\/PATHWAYS<\/h3>\n<p>Overall employment of recreation workers is projected to increase by 15 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Although people will spend more time and money on recreation, budget restrictions in State and local government will limit the number of jobs added. Many of the new jobs will be in social assistance organizations and in nursing and residential care facilities. Civic and social organizations and fitness and sports centers will also contribute to growth. Growth will be driven by the growing numbers of young and older Americans. The large numbers of births in recent years likely will increas4 the demand for recreation services for children, and retiring baby boomers are expected to have more leisure time, higher disposable incomes, and more concern for health and fitness than previous generations had. The latter factors should lead to an increasing demand for recreation services for baby boomers.<br \/>\n<strong><em>Source: <\/em><\/strong><em>Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010\/2011, U.S. Department of Labor <del><strong>www.bls.gov\/oco<\/strong><\/del><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>TRANSFER<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in this major, it is<br \/>\ncritical that you meet with a TC counselor to select and plan the courses for your major.
