With a masters in Social Science Education can you peruse careers besides teaching? - J - 11-27-2012 06:33 AM
And if so what are the other options? This would be a liberal arts major.

Here's what I found :
"Opinions vary about the utility of a liberal arts degree upon graduation. Some advisors will tell you that your initial job search will be difficult, but your prospects will grow as you move up the corporate ladder and become more able to apply your collegiate skills to a specific industry. The other opinion is that, upon graduation, you will find more opportunities open to you because you have a broader base of knowledge than a candidate who has specialized in only one discipline. As with any career pursuit, the answer lies in your own preparation, previous experience, and perseverance.
Your career choices can include teaching, communications, media, advertising, marketing, public service or law. You might work in the business, government, non-profit, science, social science, music, or language sectors. Your job opportunities can be as diverse as labor relations specialist, women's rights advocate, or planned donations officer at a museum."
