It is not sufficient to have a bachelor's degree in a specialized field; the position must call for such a degree or its equivalent to satisfy the requirements. Simply put, a specialty occupation is a job with duties and responsibilities that are so specialized that- only someone with at least a Bachelor's degree in an academic field directly related to the position could perform them, and
- they require in-depth knowledge from a specific field of study related to the proposed position.
