There is No Such Thing as a Useless Degree

Hello to our loyal followers (and everyone else who’s just dropping in). Today, we’ve got some advice for people thinking about a new education and trying to decide what degree is right.

While Business, Computers, Engineering, and Trades are great areas for Degrees with a lot of potential for new graduates, there is one section of education that is often over looked: Liberal Arts. Liberal Arts Degrees are often ignored because there is a perception that the only jobs you can get with a Liberal Arts Degree are in teaching or in getting more school.

This is not true.

There are many opportunities for Liberal Arts Majors in sectors such as: Business, Law Enforcement, Entertainment, and Advertising.

·In Business, the skills of Liberal Arts Degree holders are unique; few people in an office have the communications skills or creativity of a Liberal Arts graduate, and those skills will make you stand out.
·Much of Law Enforcement is actually filling out paperwork. Again, the ability to communicate effectively can make Liberal Arts graduates stand out.
·The Entertainment sector and the Advertising sector are both all about creativity. Liberal Arts Graduates can use their Degree to stand out in both sectors.

The University of Pittsburg just put out this great Career Guide for Liberal Arts Graduates that goes much farther in depth about Liberal Arts opportunities.

Enjoy.
