What kind of Jobs can someone with an associates degree in Liberal Arts get?

Question

I am just wondering what kind of jobs are out there that you can get if you have your Associates Degree in Liberal Arts? Other than the kind of jobs you can get in high school like retial, and working in the food bussiness. Like is there any kind of jobs in an office,or goverment, environment?

Answer 1

Invest in another 2 years of education... don't waste it on another "worthless degress," (i.e. Liberal Arts, Business management, Physcology, etc.) none of those will do you any good without at least a masters degree. You could probably get a job at a bank or someplace, but you could do that with just a high school degree.

Answer 3

In my opinion, if you phrase it properly on your resume, having a liberal arts AA could qualify you for many jobs in offices or the government. For example, you have probably had a great deal of experience reading books, analyzing them, and documenting your findings. This qualifies you for an entry-level business analysis position (which can be a stepping stone to many other positions). You also have probably taken several math or accounting courses. This could qualify you for bookkeeping or office staff positions, which could also be a stepping stone. It depends on what you want. Look at some online job postings in your area and review the skills they require; I'll be you have many of those skills as a result of your liberal arts degree. Good luck.

"What do liberally educated young adults do for employment? Anything and everything" (p. 1) A publication written by E.R. Sturman of Dartmouth College for Peterson's Guides attempted to answer this question. He suggested that individuals not choose a career based on job market projections as they may change before the graduate enters the world of employment. He also stated that "to pursue a liberal arts degree comes down to a leap of faith".
