Question

Answer 1

Unfortunately I have to disagree with Monica R's statement and advise to NOT seek a Liberal Arts degree.

If you're not in college as of yet, try first taking a few core (required for degree) classes at your local Community College. Get the feel of college, get a better feel for yourself, allow yourself to find your niche in life, and never give up.

Remember: the only dumb thing is not trying...

Answer 2

First, don't sell yourself short like that! IF you are unsure, you can be an undeclared major for a while until you find something at college that interests you. Undeclared,essentially, means that you haven't made your mind up yet. Another good major for somebody who doesn't really know what they want to do is liberal arts. You can play around a lot with that major. Hope this helps---by the way, I have an English major.

Answer 3

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a nationally recognized source of career information, designed to provide valuable assistance to individuals making decisions about their future work lives.

You can also talk to an advisor at the facility you want to attend, he/she may be able to help you find a degree in something you're passionate about. If you are not sure about where you want to go to college do some soul searching as to what you want to do... this is your chance to become whatever you want to be. Don't take it on as just going to get a degree... do something that will keep your interest for the length of your college stay. Doing so will help you stay focused on classes and completing your degree.

Answer 5

Liberal arts might be a good major for you.

Liberal arts degrees are becoming more valued than they used to be.

Also there are a lot of well respected liberal arts colleges out there. Perhaps you could just go to a liberal arts college and major in something like business or economics.
