[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so different from my education.  What types of jobs does one get out of a liberal arts degree.  My Russian diploma says, for example, I am qualified to work as a radiio journalist.  My other friends diplomas say the same thing.  Of course, I don't do that now.  I'm a translator. [/quote]

There are some professions that require certain degrees, but a liberal arts degree will likely not be labeled as "liberal arts." It will be philosophy or political science or literature or whatever. Some of those degrees are more useful in acquiring certain jobs. For example, I have a degree in political science, and that was more useful in getting jobs that related specifically to government or international relations than would have been a degree in poetry. There are also "liberal arts" degrees that are good transitions into more specific fields. A lot of lawyers have political science undergraduate degrees, for example. Some people who go to medical school for psychiatry have undergraduate degrees in psychology.[/quote]
