Career specializations within liberal arts
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.

But science is more fun lol, I was torn between doing an Art or Biology degree and went with Biology in the end. I found there to be more job prospects in science, but just go with what you enjoy most in the end because you've got to love it to do well at Uni. Its alot of hard work.

As an employer, I was never particularly impressed with a liberal arts degree. In my experience, candidates with liberal arts degrees ended up with the lower paying, clerical type jobs. In general, I found that employees with more challenging degrees were willing to work harder and tended to move up the career ladder more quickly.
