how to make the most money with a liberal arts degree?

<p>Mmm, it is late to be asking this question… I am not clear why students select majors without exploring the career opportunities that go with them.</p>

<p>So here are some things to think about:

  • Do you have a minor in anything like education? Several classes in some area like computer science or statistics? Sometimes those skills can be leveraged into a more lucrative starting job even if you do not have a full minor in the subject.<br>
  • Or did you do any ECs in college that might provide some skills that would be useful (eg, campus radio station)?<br>
  • How set are you on using your actual degree coursework in your work? Something in editing or with a publishing company would be a possible path, although not likely very lucrative for a new grad even if you can land a job.
  • If you haven’t, go to your campus career placement office and start working with them ASAP. They may have suggestions, or recruiters coming to campus that you might interview with.</p>
