What can I do with my liberal arts degree?

Your advantage is that with a liberal arts degree, you possess many fundamental skills and attributes that your competition may lack.

Skills:

Defining problems and tasks.
Mastery of information retrieval systems (libraries, books, periodicals, Internet, personal interviews).
Planning and executing research.
Organizing ideas and solutions.
Writing and communicating.
And perhaps most important, a well-honed ability to learn what you need to in order to accomplish a task.
Attributes:

An open mind to new ideas and approaches.
Disciplined work habits.
A critical eye and ear.
These fundamentals can be applied to business. In fact, they're important advantages in the business world -- however, they're useless unless you know what to do with them.
