The world’s your oyster and anyone who says your only job will be at mickey d’s has his/her head up her /his bum.

You can go into journalism, libraries, emts, police work, legal work, retailing , marketing , advertising, public relations, personnel departments, publishing , research for political parties. I guess the question is what can’t you do with a liberal arts degree, it’s up to you to make that work for you making a career you’ll be passionate about.

You can do lots of things with it, but since it’s not a specific or specialized degree, it’s all in how you approach it and how you market your skills. The right skills are many times more important than the right major. Your degree offered you a lot of transferable skills that employers look for, such as verbal and written communications skills, problem solving, adapting to a changing workplace, a broad, well-rounded education, etc.

Besides teaching, your career options can include: Communications, marketing, advertising, public service, non profit, women’s rights advocate, labor relations specialist, etc.
