Any arts majors here?

[nageov3t]

Maybe i am missing something.. whats the difference?

arts = music, photography, etc.

liberal arts can be anything from education to philosophy.

Not here.

Go back and read the wiki link you posted; Political Science is a social SCIENCE, not an ART.


edit: Yes, I am aware that undergrad degrees in PoliSci are called "Bachelor of Arts", but believe me, if you tell people, "I'm an Arts guy, I majored in Political Science" they will look at you funny.

Quit crapping on his thread. There will be enough of it simply because he is a liberal ARTS major.

Everyone with half a brain knows the degree is called Political Science and it is a Bachelor of Arts.
He didn't make the name of the degree up... it is well known by everyone except you.

Thank goodness for law school and MBAs... If all else fails, get one or both. I hear there are JD/MBA programs now.

Amen to that. My BA degree was worthless. My MBA has me a job.

I don't have an arts degree but I know several people that have them:

Art major. Did the chalk art/signage for a single Whole Foods, now runs the regional design stuff.

English major. Did marketing for a single store now run regional marketing.

Poli Sci (Masters). Produce buyer at the store level.

Another art major. Store level signage again.

Film major. Store level price accuracy and ITish stuff.

History major. Teaching.

Psych/Soc degrees with minor in Japanese. Lives in Japan, works for game company doing translation and business "stuff" (not 100% sure what stuff entails).

My wife did english, then followed it up with a JD. Both of which were utterly useless wastes of money.

Ex-wife of coworker did similar thing but at a higher tier law school. Got a decent law job (starting 60k) but it took 1+ years to land that and it was during the economic upswing.

If you go liberal arts DON'T do law just because you don't know what else to do.

i have a BofA in multimedia (digital animation stuff) and have worked in municipal water/ waste water for 15 or so years designing, installing and maintaining control systems. i actually use a bunch of stuff i learned for my degree, like interface design concepts, scripting and programming, photo manipulation and all kinds of other things. pays pretty decent, even tho i work for a company that does most of its business under the "lowest bid" contract thing.
