An               interdisciplinary               major               might               be               the               best               answer               to               the               problem               today               of               finding               work               with               a               liberal               arts               degree.

Today,               there               are               more               college               graduates               than               there               are               jobs               available               that               require               the               type               of               college               degree               or               major               most               college               graduates               have.

Are               the               days               gone               when               after               high-school               graduation,               you               can               sit               in               a               public               or               university               library               for               four               years               and               read               all               the               books               you               can               read               like               Ray               Bradbury               did?

Or               travel               like               Hemingway               did               with               a               fourth-grade               education               and               still               write               best-sellers?

People               with               some               college               often               are               left               out               of               the               type               of               job               security               needed               to               become               financially               independent,               pull               your               own               weight,               or               head               a               household.
               Can               you               still               open               a               business               and               become               a               millionaire               entreprepreneur               with               no               formal               schooling               like               so               many               immigrants               have               done?

And               is               it               true               that               majoring               in               liberal               arts               for               a               four-year               degree               (and               going               no               further)               is               a               waste               of               time?

Back               in               the               seventies,               even               PhDs               in               the               liberal               arts               were               driving               cabs               because               there               were               too               many               graduates               and               too               few               jobs               related               to               their               studies.
               When               I               started               university               studies               in               1959,               getting               a               master's               degree               in               English               with               emphasis               in               creative               writing               did               lead               to               a               job               for               many.

First               you               started               in               publishing               as               a               typist               as               long               as               you               could               afford               to               live               in               New               York               City               (as               I               did               then).

Then               you               work               your               way               up               to               editor.

But               the               job               was               never               secure.
               You               could               try               to               get               a               teaching               job               once               writer's               cramp               ended               your               secretarial               work.

If               you               were               male,               you               could               skip               the               typing               pool               and               walk               right               into               teaching               if               you               were               lucky               enough               to               land               a               job               in               the               late               1950s,               but               teaching               might               wear               you               out               because               the               new               teachers               were               put               into               the               inner               urban               schools.

The               lucky               males               walked               into               technical               editing               work               in               a               secure               government               job.

Today,               the               competition               is               keener               than               it               was               in               the               1950s               or               1960s.

By               the               mid               to               late1970s,               jobs               were               opening               in               technical               illustration               with               computer               corporations.
               For               females,               in               the               1950s,               with               a               liberal               arts               degree,               you               were               last               hired,               first               fired               as               a               typist.

To               make               your               job               secure               in               addition               to               your               graduate               degree,               you               had               to               learn               shorthand,               speedwriting,               or               notehand               and               pass               typing               and               dictation               tests.

But               something               happened               as               the               years               passed.

Publishers               merged.

Jobs               went               away.

You               could               audition               for               a               job               in               public               relations,               but               those               jobs               went               to               the               journalism               graduates               majoring               in               public               relations               who               also               took               a               master's               degree               in               public               relations.

Yet               communications               jobs               were               opening               as               technical               writers.

But               it's               not               1959               any               more.
               Why               do               you               want               to               major               in               liberal               arts               when               you               can               get               the               same               education               at               any               age               in               the               public               libraries?

The               college               majors               preparing               you               for               the               jobs               most               in               demand               usually               are               overcrowded,               impacted,               and               have               a               long               waiting               list               to               get               into.

And               they               can               pick               and               choose               who               to               let               in.

Don't               waste               your               money               on               a               liberal               arts               major               unless               you               have               a               very               good               reason               to               take               that               major,               and               possibly               know               where               you'll               work               in               what               field               and               how               you'll               apply               what               you               learned               in               your               courses               to               transfer               to               a               job               in               the               real               world.
               Many               people               select               a               college               major               because               they               like               the               subject               studied,               not               because               employers               can't               find               enough               graduates               to               fill               jobs               requiring               that               major.
               The               exception               would               be               teachers               of               math               and               science               with               math               and               science               majors               and               teaching               credentials               and               persons               with               degrees               in               various               healthcare               occupations,               including               various               technologies,               along               with               state               licenses               to               practice.
               Examples               would               be               nursing,               occupational,               respiratory,               radiology,               ultrasound,               dental               hygiene,               physical               therapies,               certain               types               of               social               work,               especially               social               work               doctorates               and               social               workers               with               master's               degrees               as               well               as               law               degrees,               and               allied               health               care               professions.

Even               paralegals               are               experience               age               discrimination               if               they've               gone               back               to               school               to               retrain               in               their               forties               and               fifties.
               Pick               an               occupation               that               is               least               likely               to               fire               you               if               you               are               past               the               age               that               they               usually               hire.

That               includes               most               teaching               professions,               engineering,               software               design,               animation,               certain               types               of               web               design               jobs,               graphic               arts,               and               video               game               design.

Interestingly               medical               doctors               are               usually               not               laid               off               when               they               reach               their               forties,               fifties,               and               sixties,               unless               they               have               health               issues.
               University               tuition               isn't               under               $100               a               semester               any               more               like               it               was               50               years               ago               when               I               attended               college.

With               private               colleges               costing               around               $25,000               annually               and               state               college               tuition               costs               rising               so               frequently,               don't               bother               going               to               college               if               all               you're               going               to               do               is               major               in               one               of               the               liberal               arts               courses,               unless               you're               pretty               sure               of               landing               a               job               when               you               finish               that               will               lead               to               enough               financially               security               for               you               to               be               independent               and               self-supporting.

Here's               why.
               One               example               could               be               Cal               State               Fullerton.

The               university               recently               had               been               forced               to               cancel               up               to               150               class               sections               for               the               2009               fall               semester               to               help               the               state               balance               its               budget.

(Full               story).

The               cancellations               were               made               in               the               College               of               Humanities               and               Social               Sciences,               the               largest               of               the               university's               eight               schools.
               The               college               hosts               most               of               the               university's               traditional               liberal               arts               programs,               including               sociology,               literature,               religion,               history               and               philosophy.

Campus               officials               say               the               cuts               will               affect               up               to               3,200               students.

And               it               is               possible               that               deeper               cuts               will               be               made               in               the               spring               semester.

(Other               public               colleges               and               universities               also               are               making               cuts.)
               Let's               say               you're               pretty               sure               you're               going               to               be               a               high               school               teacher               of               one               of               the               liberal               arts               subjects.

Then               major               in               a               practical,               but               generalist               major               and               minor               in               the               subject               you               want               to               teach               in               the               field               of               liberal               arts.

For               example,               if               you               want               to               teach               English,               you'll               be               competing               with               thousands               of               other               university               graduates               and               re-entry               students               for               the               few               jobs               available               teaching               English               in               most               high               schools.
               The               schools               can               be               picky,               choosing               young               students               over               those               homemakers               in               their               late               forties               returning               to               college               for               a               teaching               credential               after               the               children               are               back               in               college               and               the               nest               is               empty.

Think               twice               if               you               assume               you're               going               to               be               hired               over               the               25-year               old               completing               a               graduate               degree               and               credential.
               If               you're               a               young               student,               pick               a               major               than               is               transferable               to               other               fields.

You               can               be               a               generalist               with               transferable               skills               to               other               types               of               work.

For               example,               instead               of               majoring               in               English               if               you               like               to               write,               pick               a               major               in               technical               and               science               writing.

Then               take               several               courses               in               the               type               of               science               you               want               to               emphasize               in               your               writing,               for               example               a               minor.
               Most               people               major               in               one               of               the               liberal               arts               because               they               are               not               doing               well               in               courses               that               require               math               skills               in               practical               applications               of               the               math,               for               example,               accounting,               informatics,               genetics,               statistics,               neuroscience,               or               biochemistry.
               Look               at               some               of               the               newer               majors               that               have               a               great               outlook               for               jobs               opening               and               increasing               in               the               next               decade.

Instead               of               majoring               in               fine               art,               choose               graphic               design               with               animation               and               3-D               modeling               using               animation               software,               video               editing,               or               digital               media.

Take               a               major               in               educational               technology               and               minor               in               technical               and               science               writing.
               If               you               don't               do               well               in               math,               there               are               technical               jobs               waiting               that               aren't               being               contracted               out               overseas.

               If               you               want               to               pick               some               of               the               most               practical               majors,               they're               in               the               healthcare               industry--teaching               nursing               online               if               you               have               the               appropriate               graduate               degree               and               experience,               or               teaching               at               a               community               college               level               the               various               healthcare               technologies.

Another               route               is               to               get               a               four-year               degree               in               vocational               education,               doing               what               you               like               to               do,               such               as               technical               illustration               with               computer               software,               and               go               on               to               a               graduate               degree               in               vocational               education               administration.
               You               can               focus               on               any               subject               from               auto               mechanics               and               repair               (now               computerized               to               a               large               extent)               to               electronics               technology               in               vocational               education,               getting               a               four-year               degree               and               finally               a               masters               with               a               teaching               credential.

But               with               the               costs               of               college               so               high,               don't               waste               your               money               on               a               liberal               arts               education.

You               won't               have               job               skills.
               If               you               think               a               liberal               arts               degree               gives               you               transferable               job               skills,               you're               wrong.

What               you'll               end               up               with               is               a               last-hired,               first-fired               job               as               an               administrative               assistant,               formerly               a               secretary               or               clerk.

               Many               people               think               a               liberal               arts               major               gives               them               an               education               in               ethnics.

If               you               want               to               become               a               lawyer,               become               a               CPA               accountant               first.

At               least               you'll               be               able               to               find               a               job               quicker               as               an               accountant               than               you'd               find               a               job               with               no               experience               as               a               recent               law               school               graduate               clerking               for               80               hours               a               week               with               the               dream               of               becoming               a               partner.
               If               you               want               a               career               in               publishing,               right               now               it's               in               digital               entertainment               and               online               journalism               if               you               have               other               skills               in               a               subject.

If               you               want               to               teach,               should               you               get               a               PhD               in               psychology               or               social               work               and               teach               at               the               university               level?

The               problem               really               emphasizes               the               fact               that               there               are               too               many               college               graduates               with               the               same               or               similar               skills.

There's               a               mismatch               between               what               people               major               it,               the               most               popular               majors,               and               what               jobs               are               open.
               Not               everyone               can               pass               courses               in               electrical               engineering,               and               if               they               do,               when               they               reach               age               35,               they               could               very               well               be               passed               over               for               the               25-year               old               just               coming               out               of               graduate               school               with               two               years               of               experience               already               from               internships.

Bureau               of               Labor               Statistics,               Occupations               With               the               Most               Openings.
               You'll               see               that               the               jobs               with               the               most               openings               don't               require               a               college               education               and               don't               pay               very               much               either.

At               present               there               are               too               many               college               graduates               and               not               enough               job               openings               that               require               a               college               degree,               at               least               in               the               field               or               major               in               which               most               graduates               have               degrees.
               That's               why               being               a               generalist               is               as               important               as               being               a               specialist.

You               need               skills               in               both               areas.

Maybe               you               want               a               degree               in               sports               medicine               management,               but               how               many               others               will               be               competing               against               you               with               similar               degrees               for               the               few               job               openings?
               You               could               become               a               registered               nurse,               for               example,               and               then               take               a               graduate               degree               in               either               teaching               graduate               nursing               courses               online               or               in               person               or               add               on               more               skills,               such               as               a               specialized               field               within               nursing               or               an               allied               field               such               as               respiratory               therapy,               social               work,               or               even               go               to               law               school               and               become               an               expert               witness.

But               can               you               depend               on               those               degrees               for               a               secure,               steady               job               with               health               insurance,               pension               plans,               and               perks,               let               alone               long-term               care               insurance?
               Most               jobs               opening               don't               require               four               years               of               training               and               pay               little.

Few               are               secure.

That's               why               majoring               in               liberal               arts,               for               example               history               or               English               or               fine               art               (unless               you're               a               talented,               gifted               illustrator)               may               be               a               waste               of               time               for               you               when               jobs               are               going               unfilled               because               employers               can't               find               anyone               with               a               degree               and/or               experience               in               what               is               really               needed.

That's               your               task.

Find               out               what's               really               needed               now               and               for               the               next               decade.
               What's               needed               right               now               are               nurses               and               experts               in               forensic               DNA               testing,               including               informatics.

Pick               a               major               where               you               could               also               apply               for               a               secure               job,               maybe               with               the               government               or               a               large               industry               or               institution               that               may               not               cut               jobs               so               fast.

And               find               a               major               that               insures               you               against               being               laid               off               by               an               employer.

Don't               learn               one               skill               that               will               never               be               transferable               to               another               job               in               a               different               industry.
