There are several areas of study in technology at the bachelor's level. A degree can range from general technology to information technology to medical technology degrees. Each area of technology differs depending on the focus of the study.
Classes in technology vary depending on the specific field of study, but there are some common courses students might take. For example, students in technology all should know typing skills and basic computer skills like the use of word processing software, spreadsheets and the Internet. From there, classes differ and educate students in specific technology fields.
A technology bachelor's degree will ultimately lead to a technology job, but the type of job will vary dramatically. For example, graduates can work in the technology sector of a business or might work on technology development or provide technology support in a hospital. After gaining work experience, graduates might start working in management positions as well.
