Knowing Their Worth: Three Ways to Help Students Connect a Liberal Arts Degree to Career Paths
Markos, Kristina
Liberal Education, v107 n2 Spr 2021
Since the 2007-09 Great Recession and continuing through the current pandemic, college students' anxiety over their future employment prospects has been rampant. As a result, one of the most common questions students and their parents ask campus career counselors, faculty advisors, and other educators is "What can be done with a degree in the liberal arts?" While many professional options are available to graduates with a degree in a liberal arts field, educators sometimes struggle to supply a direct answer to the question, instead pointing to the value of learning to think critically and of using the college years to explore one's identity. This article presents three ways to help students connect a liberal arts degree to career paths.
