WTF do you do with a "Liberal Arts" degree?

I worked my butt off to get a degree in Manufacturing Engineering! (Also studied here and there on a Law degree. Like the world needed one more lawyer!)

I guess if you are somewhat talented artist you could seek employment as an illustrator? Or maybe an Arts Teacher. IDK.

Liberal Arts includes things that aren't art. History, Political Science, English, Architecture, Psychology, Sociology, and a lot of other degrees are Liberal Arts. Economics is also a BA degree.

I have a liberal arts degree (history) and I'm doing just fine. Just got my own office yesterday. Now I can fart in my chair instead of having to crop dust the hallway. Life is good.

at least you're getting calls

I'm getting nothing back. no calls, no e-mails, nothing. so at least you have that going for you

Have you posted your resume on any of the job search websites? I haven't gotten a single response from a company I've actually applied to, only recruiters who found my resume on a website.

Go cut your teeth on printer/copier sales. You don't have to make it a career but they will teach you a lot and those skills translate into bigger/better jobs.

I always wanted to work for Dunder Mifflin, so this might not be a bad alternative.

No just the career services website here (which has a catalog of jobs and such) and through some people I know (and on LinkedIn). Haven't thought about that possibility really.

It definitely isn't a bad idea. And I hope that if you decide to, it produces better results for you than it has for me.

Mistake 1: Liberal Arts degree.

Mistake 2: Not putting enough effort into nepotism.

I don't regret my degree.

I am discovering, however, that it really is about who you know. I've sort of been forced to abandon the illusion of merit. Luckily, I have been able to take advantage of some familial ties. Nothing has panned out just yet, but I'm hopeful.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
