[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a history degree, loved my classes and still value the research, study and writing skills I learned. But, I had no help from my college translating the degree/skills to the workplace. It was depressing. I discouraged my kids from majoring in history. I'd be all for it as a 2nd BA. Maybe open curriculum and encouraging students to double major across fields is the way forward. Or better career advising and alum networks.[/quote] I'm one of the many liberal arts majors that had no idea how to position myself for the workplace. Do Universities assume philosophy majors all immediately get philospher jobs and history majors magically become historians? I am all for ensuring that people get a good liberal arts background along with a understanding of the skills they are developing and how they are transferable.[/quote]
