For a table of starting salaries versus college major, see:

Liberal arts is third from the bottom.

With liberal arts you are looking at a job in business, service industry, teaching, sports, entertainment, law, sales, etc.

People that succeed tend to be focused and driven, and don't give up. Whatever happens after that, is whatever happens.

Que sara sara.

None worth having. I'm sure there is some stupid job at the UN for which you'd qualify, but they already gave it to one of Kofi Annan's cousins. A classical liberal education has value, just not the kind of value that can be measured in dollars. Therefore, if you want to get a degree in "humanities" or some other totally impractical field, don't spend a fortune doing it at a private college thinking that that will make your lack of skills more marketable...it won't. While your getting your humanities degree, get a degree in something practical at the same time (double degree or double major). Trust me on this, I speak from experience. I have a history degree & an accounting degree. The history degree adds lots of depth to my intellectual prowess, but the accounting degree brings home the bacon.

Answer 3

that's a random question. you're doing this thoroughly backwards. you should return up with an thought of what you're able to be able to need to do as a occupation first, then %. the path which will ultimate get you to that objective. distant places language is merely smart in case you intend on being in a difficulty the place you will need it. A Bachelors degree in Political technology gets you a gap in graduate college in case you do nicely.
