Liberal Arts degrees

Liberal Arts Majors:


Just because there's no clearly defined career path for the liberal arts major doesn't mean that you won't pick up valuable career skills. With a liberal arts education, you build a sophisticated vocabulary and develop intellectual skills, such as reasoning and judgment, as opposed to acquiring technical skills for a specific profession.

Yes, I totally agree, but it does require a level of awareness and preparation for the liberal arts degree-holder that graduates of other programs don't have to have. To use the nursing example. You go to nursing school and come out and become a nurse. Liberal Arts majors can't do that - they'll need to really put some thought into what they want to do and then make sure that they get experience that's in line with their chosen career path.

I thought it was interesting that the link you posted above to the top liberal arts careers included several sales options. One of the reasons I got into sales is because they tend to be less picky about degree options. Back when I started, you didn't even need a degree. Now you do, but it doesn't matter in what. B2B sales is a great career path that pays well if you can handle the stress and like talking to people. I would recommend for any liberal arts major.
