Yes i should have mentioned that teaching at primary and secondary schools is always an option though that may require another year to get a teaching certificate; it does here in the UK and i cant remember about the US. People with a BA are able to apply for a wide range of jobs in the working world; practically all that arent skill specific and covered by a degree in the sciences. for example someone with a degree in history could still apply for jobs in media, business, government work etc. Apart from technical posts, most job adverts will simply require a degree and wont specify which kind. All the arts degrees are lumped together and its up to you to show how your skill set meets the job's requirements. Thats why it helps to take elective courses in somehting you might want to do like media studies, and also go on work experiences to gain practical knowledge of different fields.

It used to be that someone with a degree would instantly go into a management position within a company but that was only true in the 60s and 70s before the dramatic increase in people gaining degrees. Now even with a degree you will probably still have to enter sub management and work for a promotion to management.
Thanks for this!
