Congratulations! You’ve graduated with your Liberal Arts degree and it’s time to pick a career. But what can you do with your degree?
We get asked this question routinely and our answer is always the same.
“So many things!”
A Liberal Arts degree is designed to provide scholars with a wide range of skills and experiences to build critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. This type of degree is comprised of the humanities, arts, and sciences. While some believe that this type of degree is less focused and therefore less valuable, we couldn’t disagree more.
In a job market like we have today, having a broad range of skills and the ability to think critically is often looked at favorably by employers. Especially those who are not looking for specific trade roles. If an employer has the option of hiring one person who could potentially advise, communicate, or collaborate across many areas of business effectively versus hiring multiple people with more specific skill sets, which do you think they would prefer?
