Every student asks themselves, their professors or academic advisors this question at some point in their educational career. Its a question Liberal Studies and Interdisciplinary Studies advisors get asked a lot. ? The underlying fear is that these degrees will not adequately prepare graduates for the job market when, in reality, they are just as valuable as an undergraduate degree in Biology, Psychology, English etc. An important caveat here is that most Bachelors degrees do not prepare you for a specific profession but rather serve as a prerequisite to enter the job market as an aspiring professional. Exceptions to this rule are degrees in fields such as Nursing, Engineering, Architecture, but as those who have attempted to get into these programs know, they are not open to the masses. A majority of college graduates at FIU and elsewhere will therefore earn degrees that equip them with a broad range of transferable skills rather than training for a specific profession. You (or your parents!) may say theres no job out there called Liberal Studies (unlike a Journalism degree where you become a Journalist) but that can also be to your advantage because you can create a job-good narrative around the degrees self-tailoring features.
