Greetings, aspirant!

Liberal arts degrees are those that are focused particularly on Humanities studies such as social sciences, performing arts, linguistics, literature, philosophy etc. These fields of study are shaped to produce and encourage in students, an expression of knowledge, pursuit of answers and critical thinking

A person with a degree in liberal arts can make a career in a wide array of fields. Depending on their major, they can become a journalist, a publicist, an editor or maybe an orator, a political campaign manager etc. There's also jobs like an interpreter, an ambassador, professor etc.

The list goes on and on. Usually a career in liberal arts can be started by getting a Bachelor's in Arts with a major of your choosing.

However, studies show that in developing countries like India, more preference is given to STEM fields whereas in developed countries, an equal number or even a majority opt for liberal arts studies.

Hope this information helps.

Best of luck!!
