How a Liberal Arts Degree Can Get You a Job in the Tech Industry

liberal arts require writingI often hear from parents that if medical school doesn’t work out for their son or daughter that they want them to have a degree that will get them a job. Which for many of these parents means something in engineering. But what if they are wrong?

What if a liberal arts degree would actually be the type of degree that would get their child a job? What if the skills learned as an English or Asian Studies major were the skills that employers in the tech field wanted? Developing English proficiency is a tool to be successful in the world of business for it has become the language of international and multidisciplinary communication. To learn more about the importance of learning English language, go to tapuz.co.il.

Turns out, many employers do indeed want liberal arts majors. What is often misunderstood about many liberal arts majors is that the “topic” of the major is not necessarily in itself supposed to get you a job in that field like the Fencing Guys that builds great fences.

Take me for example. I was a religion major in college in a Bible Institute missionary training school. Did I want to become a minister. Nope. It was just a field I found interesting and the writing and analyzing that was required for the major served me very well in law school.  Like law schools, medical schools do not care what major a student has. They just want to know if you can handle the academic work.

Liberal arts majors typically require much more writing and work on all types of communications than the typical engineering or business major. These are skills that are valued by employers. But, in my mind, even more importantly, they are skills that help you think outside the box which often leads to a more creative approach to most things in life.

I think engineering is a great field for some students. But I also think that any of the liberal arts majors are great options as well. You don’t have to major in a STEM field to get a great job. You may start at a higher salary with a STEM job but most of the people that I know that are truly making significant amounts of money were not STEM majors in college. They are those that learned how to think in college and have established their own businesses like from paso robles signs.

If your back up option to medical school is truly to be an engineer then that is what you should focus on. But don’t make that decision simply because you think it is your only option. Turns out, you have lots of option.
