Does anyone know someone with a Liberal Studies Degree? What careers are available to these graduates?

Question

I've had many loops and bumps while in college.I started at age 18, and am now 23 with 90 credits.I ended up getting married before I graduated so my academic progress have been slowed a bit.My husband is traditional and gives me the option to not have to work, but encourages me to complete the degree of my choice. I was going to do nursing. Not sure any more. I've thought about Biology or Psychology, but don't care to work in lab or mental hospital. Wouldn't mind academic counselor, for example.What other jobs would be available to me with this degree?Is this degree worth obtaining?Are there many graduates with a liberal studies degree?Should I do psychology degree instead to have a specific field of study or better to keep options open with liberal studies?We hope to have kids within the next five years once he becomes an officer(he's military).Should I try to get into a nursing program long-term wise?I know I have a lot of Q's,but I was hoping someone with experience has good advice

Answer 1

If you want to be an unemployed actor, a speed bump, or basically a homeless advocate, then Liberal Studies is for you.

At least go for "General Studies."

Answer 2

It's not the degree that makes you successful, but your attitude toward what you are doing. There is a college, I believe in Arizona, that gives only degrees in Liberal Studies. That major is a platform to a broad view on the world. Many colleges have a list of the many, many kinds of jobs you can do with a Liberal Studies degree, and almost every other degree you can get, as well. You are not limited by what your degree is in, but given a beginning to start with. In California, you can get a "degree required" job with the state, having a degree in art! The reason why this works is because the process of getting a degree teaches you HOW to work toward goals, whether the goals are in one area or another

Answer 3

Nursing. If you can't handle that, do something easy like engineering.

Liberal studies are crowded with people who are lucky enough to get into politics or are lucky enough to work at Starbucks. Don't go there.

Make yourself useful.
