20 Lucrative Careers You Can Get with a Liberal Arts Degree

Careers in business and finance are also available to those with obscure liberal arts degrees, although you may face an uphill battle competing for jobs against those who have degrees in business, finance and economics. Nonetheless, it’s possible for a history major to land a job as a financial advisor (median salary of $64,750 in 2010, according to the BLS). Of course, you won’t start at that kind of salary, but you can get there over time.
