Which do you think is a better degree, Social Science or Liberal Studies?
I want to get a degree where I have to do as little math as possible. Also, I’m not really sure what I want to do, so a general degree like one of these is would be fine for me (I’m also currently in the military). English was another degree I was thinking about. Any thoughts?

I think it would actually be better if you took Psychology, which is a social science. The fact remains that if you take a broad major like Liberal Arts or Humanities, possible employers will think that you are just taking the easiest crap a college offered you. At least with Psych, you can show that you had a focus. This major is one of the easiest to take/have, and it can be used in any number of industries, from Marketing to Finance, Non-Profit to governmental sectors. Another option would be Criminal Science, though a tad harder, is very similar.
English is a hard major because you are constantly reading books and writing papers. I was an English major and by my senior year I had 3 major requirement classes to take. Each class the highest level, 400, course. Each paper had to be at least 10 pages long. Each book was about 400 pages long. Sometimes I’d come to class with the wrong books… or come prepared to one class when it was a totally different class with the same teacher… All I can say is insanity. Insanity. But thats what I wanted and did. And though it was difficult it showed me what i could do under such tremendous pressure.

Social Science and Liberal Studies are often intertwined. If you want to avoid as much math as possible then Liberal Studies is kinda the way to go only because some Social Science classes will use statistics a lot.

I’m taking Liberal Arts degree and so far the math es extremely minimal (unless they change the standards in my community college as they might just). The degree program requires a math elective but not a specific math course for the degree, so it’s a little more flexible mathematically.
(I hate math, so… yeah.)

If your female, I would pick family studies cause your going to be living off your man. If your male just drop out and get a job at Wal-mart. These degrees are party degrees for people who want the “college experience” without the learnin’.

Both seem equally unmarketable, unless you want to teach or go to grad school.
