Choice careers for liberal arts graduates

After I graduated from college with a liberal arts degree, I felt like an imposter "I don't know anything. Why should anyone want to hire me?
But now, having been career counselor to 2,400 people, I know that many wonderful options exist for liberal arts graduates. Of course, one
career seeker's ambrosia is another's hemlock, but here are quick hits on careers that many liberal arts graduates find rewarding.
Student affairs administrator. This career has nothing to do with steamy dorm room flings. Student affairs administrators coordinate the
non-academic part of student life: from orientation to graduation. They may supervise fraternities, coordinate residence hall programs and
intramural sports. College campuses are great places to work: beautiful, stimulating, plus, the workload usually lightens dramatically between
semesters and during the summers. More info: National Association of Student Personnel Administrators: www.naspa.org
Political campaign manager. Everyone who runs for office, from Pleasantville school board member to president of the United States needs a campaign manager. They research opinions and voting
patterns, help develop the candidate's themes, plan fundraisers, coordinate direct mail and Web site, hire staff, train volunteers, excite the
media, and even help design the campaign button. It's an exciting job: You're in charge of a winner-take all contest that can make a difference.

Grant proposal writer. These practical dreamers convince government agencies and foundations to bankroll their ideas for improving the
world. More info: www.tgci.com
Journalist. The pen indeed is mightier than the sword, especially now. The media has enormous influence over how we think, act, and who we
vote for. The job market is tough but if you write well and quickly and have a nose for digging up information, you should be able to land a job,
at least on the Web or in a small-circulation print publication. To build chances for obtaining a better paying job, consider specializing in an
area likely to remain of compelling interest, for example: education, China, ethnic issues, terrorism, the environment, the Middle East, health,
and technology. More info: Society of Professional Journalists: www.spj.org.
Mediator. A landlord refuses to return a tenant's security deposit. A divorcing couple is fighting over who should get what. An employee is
claiming racial discrimination, which her boss vehemently denies. To avoid expensive litigation, ever more disputants are turning to mediators.
More info: www.mediate.com.
Fundraiser. These are of three types. Cultivators stage events such as galas and celebrity auctions to warm up potential donors and bring in a
few bucks. Using dossiers of wealthy individuals, harvesters then develop relationships with the warmed-up fat cats so they become willing to
fork over ever larger donations. Prospect researchers create the dossiers. More info: Association of Fundraising Professionals:
www.afpnet.org.
Advice I'd Give My Child. Try to sell your liberal arts degree as a plus: it taught you the crucial job skills of thinking, writing, and oral
communication. Sometimes, it's true.
