Your coursework in liberal studies teaches you how to be an all-around critical thinker and worker, as well as provides you with an educational background covering science, art, communications, critical reasoning, the humanities and social sciences. Add a math minor and you've got the skills for non-profit management. These positions include development (such as grant writers and fundraisers who engage donors and manage budgets), finance managers (who maintain budgets, strategize for future growth and monitor cash flow) and executive directors (who draw on their skills in organization and communication to motivate workers, clients and board members).
Employees in finance and sales must possess confidence and ability in math skills as well as interpersonal communication. You'll crunch numbers, but also frequently interact with clients. You must become an expert in your field to develop strategies that will meet the goals of their clients. Liberal studies and math students have the right combination of skills in communication, problem-solving and reasoning, skills that many employers in sales and finance seek.
Use your skills in writing, research and marketing in a public relations career. You can develop campaigns, budgets, proposals and creative materials for diverse clients and groups. You must also have good reasoning and critical thinking skills, and be able to collaborate with clients so you can clearly articulate their vision. Writing skills are essential, as are editing and providing (and receiving) constructive criticism from co-workers and clients.
Many choose a liberal studies education because they want to learn as much as possible about various areas of study. Incorporate your love of learning and critical thinking skills into a career in education by teaching or seeking an administrative position within higher education.
