Warren said there are opportunities for college graduates in the textile industry.

Combined with the fiber and apparel industries, they are the country's largest employer with 2.2 million employees. Warren told the business majors that a textile degree is not essential for success.

"Business majors can find career oppor tunities in textile marketingand sales, administration, manufacturing and international business," Warren said.
