BA in Anthropology
Anthro is fun, interesting, and has little to no earning power! I was drawn to it as a precursor for a PHD in Archaeology, but the left-wingers at the State University of New York at Buffalo, combined with a real lack of earning power, kept me from going past my BA. I'll look into a doctorate when I retire, methinks!
BA in Communication.
Same school. Part of a double degree program, which my advisor said was almost as good as having a Masters degree. WRONG! But I enjoyed the hell out of my courses...just make sure you get some practical stuff, because most of my courses focused on communication theory. Nice to know, but more hands-on would have been appreciated.
Those 2 degrees would be considered liberal arts, and I have to say that they prepared me well to be adaptable. I have worked in factories, retail, government, non-profit foundations, and am currently writing grants for a public school district.
