So I'm looking at US & News Best 100 Jobs....
And I can't seem to find many that are "liberal degree" friendly. The first one I saw was Lawyer which is ranked #33/100, but that's a professional degree, not undergrad.
Can someone help me find the liberal arts degree jobs?

I took enough IB & AP credits in highschool to where I'm 2 classes away from minoring in either.
Such worthless degrees. You're better off studying mathematics/data-science if you want to work a traditional analytical job. Those are the people the CIA/NSA/FBI/Federal Government hires.

Don't listen to Kurk. Those are both very interesting topics and fun to learn about. If you like those topics, do what I did and just take a shit ton of classes and earn multiple degrees at once. Most universities have max-credit transfer requirements so it is best to just find a school that is good at your your area of primary education but is also a well-rounded school so you can double or triple major in other subjects.
Here's a tip: some degrees, you can do a single work-study or internship for two different majors and it counts for both IF they are related enough. 👆

Anyways, my interest in a STEM degree is less than zero, so even if I could successfully complete a degree in those fields I wouldn’t want to work in it for any stretch of time.

What are you considering for the CIA and the FBI?
Originally posted by dadudemonI'm not, to be honest—just talking hypothetically since Kurk brought those agencies up. Though, now that I think about it, a job at the CIA could be pretty fun, especially if I'm a

lol they need to work? No way!
Originally posted by Putinbot1But regardless of a new grad's worth, businesses in general want to hire people who can problem solve, right? If so, why wouldn't it make sense for STEM fields to get the priority over liberal arts given that on average their IQ's tend to be higher, they're conditioned to think critically/analytically, etc?

Originally posted by KurkIt depends if you need that in the job, soft skills are often more important working in teams. The ability to put the ego aside and let others get on is often equally as important as having ideas. Often it's better for ideas to be put on hold for V 2.0 beyond any point in any project in any field.
