What type of job can someone with a B.A. in African-American Studies get?

Answer 1

*************BEST ANSWER HERE*****************
Probably a P.E (physical education) teacher.
I'd use that to be a teacher.
This way you can infiltrate the modern institution of learning and put your spin on it to include African-American history in your class to educate.

Each one, Teach One..

Answer 2

They can teach the next generation about African-American Studies. It is pretty much a single line career development.
Of course you can go to law school and study civil rights. (I assume you have an interest in civil rights if you devote your under grad to AAS)
But then again, just getting your degree is most of the battle. You can go on and do almost anything you want. The degree is only the key to the door, who you are will get you through the door onto any career you want.
Outside of astro-biology. They have a strict rule against AAS I heard. :)
B

Answer 3

Go back and get a Masters in something else because African-American Studies is right down there with English literature and history in job potential.

Answer 4

Social services. Look into county and city jobs. They need mentors, service coordinators, ect. I have an English degree, but my child's PT teacher said I qualify to work as a service coordinator because of my experience and BA degree.

Answer 5

History teacher.

To be honest there are tons of jobs you can get that are not related to the degree, there are a lot of places that will hire you as long as you have any kind of Bachelors.
