The two most important words to every liberal arts job seeker are "transferable skills". You will likely change jobs and perhaps change career fields several times during your work lifetime. The skills taught in liberal arts courses- creative and analytic thinking, oral and written communication-are needed on every job in every field. Technical skills are often taught on the job; many excellent corporate recruiting programs recognize that and purposely hire liberal arts graduates. Liberal arts education has long been recognized as the best foundation for leadership. Even in many MBA programs they recognized the problem of turning out technically-trained people who can't see beyond the spreadsheet, and are now including liberal arts courses.
