What kind of a job can I get with a Bachelor of Art in Liberal Arts degree?
Asked by Mom of two boys
I will have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts degree with emphasis' in the following areas: Rhetoric, History, Legal Studies, & Criminal Justice. What kinds of jobs would I qualify for? Do any of you have really good paying jobs with a BALA degree? Do employers look at this degree as you were unable to make up your mind? I'm really worried and if I need to change my degree I want to do so before I graduate since I've worked so hard for it, I don't want to not be able to find a good job that I enjoy.

Best Answer:
Bartender? Seriously, all my friends that got liberal arts degrees work in resturants. You could probably go the civil service route. Police, fire, library worker, clerk, theres about a million jobs in the public sector that you'd qualify for...and it may be a better option for you.

I would not put Liberal Arts on any resume. I would put Bachelor's Degree. And then the subjects which matter. You might want to consider applying to Law offices or court systems.

I have my BALA and am in marketing. I started out in customer service. It may be difficult to find that high paying job right away. Try for a consulting job through Accenture, etc. if you want a lot of money out of the gate. Beware though, there is an aweful lot of travel and hours associate with being a consultant.
