Thanks Ms. Sue!
Do you think a person good with math and bad at writing is ok for liberal arts? because i like to think out of the box, but i like it when theres a solid answer. i was thinking psycology...is that too much? or should i major in something to do with math?
Since you're in middle school, you don't need to think about what your college major will be. :-) Even if you did decide now, I can almost guarantee that you'd change your mind several times in the next 8 years.
Take all of the hard classes and also classes that interest you in high school. As you learn more about these subjects, you'll be able to narrow your interests down.
Good luck!
Liberal arts is a broad academic discipline that encompasses a wide range of subjects such as humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and fine arts. It focuses on developing critical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and a well-rounded education.
The purpose of a liberal arts education is to provide a broad foundation of knowledge and skills, rather than specialized training in a specific field. This allows students to develop transferable skills that can be applied to various careers and adapt to a rapidly changing job market.
While there is no specific career path associated with a liberal arts major, it provides a versatile foundation that can lead to various professions. Some common careers that liberal arts graduates pursue include:
1. Communications: Journalism, public relations, advertising, marketing, and media-related careers.
2. Humanities: Writing, publishing, editing, teaching, museum curation, and research.
3. Social Sciences: Psychology, sociology, anthropology, social work, public policy, and international relations.
4. Business: Human resources, management, entrepreneurship, and consulting.
5. Fine Arts: Visual arts, performing arts, music, theater, and film.
6. Education: Teaching at various levels, curriculum development, and educational administration.
7. Non-profit and Public Service: Non-profit organizations, government institutions, public administration, and advocacy work.
It's important to note that the career options are not limited to these examples, as liberal arts graduates often develop a range of skills that can be applied to diverse fields. Encourage your sister to explore her interests, speak with career counselors or professionals in different fields, and gain experience through internships, volunteering, or part-time jobs to help her make an informed decision about her future.
