Question: What can I do with a liberal arts degree?
Answer:

Whereas a Liberal Arts degree does not point someone in a particular career direction, it provides a broad education experience that some companies desire. There is not a list of careers that a Liberal Arts grad is qualified for. The career opportunities, like the degrees themselves are broad and varied. The degree is one step removed from a General Business degree in directing someone to a particular field.

A lot of companies want Liberal Arts grads, especially in sales and management trainee positions. One way to find out who those companies are and what career choices they offer would be to contact the placement office at your local university, or to regularly visit the placement office to review the listing of companies scheduled to visit the campus. They will list the degrees they are looking for. A placement advisor can also provide historical information and statistics on the types of degrees sought by companies and the number of companies seeking those degrees. Some placement offices will provide answers by email for students considering their university after high school.

Whereas few companies will actually advertise positions for Liberal Arts graduates, when companies advertise entry level openings and simply state "degree required", without listing specific degrees, it is a very good indicator that they will consider liberal arts grads. As I mentioned earlier, many of those are in sales and management trainee positions, often in the service or retail sectors.
