I have heard that it is better to major in liberal arts instead of going to college undecided.  It that true?

Liberal arts is the study of many different subjects, giving one a great knowledge of numerous topics usually in math, science, literature, philosophy, and perhaps, music, etc. This idea came from the word "libertas", meaning free. So to not have any restrictions, thus allowing for a large subject of learning. I definately think it is better to at least start in liberal arts because it gives you a taste for all different studies, and enables you to see what might peak your interest.

Choose something that you like and are willing to work hard at.  Come prepared to spend some late nights studying, the library is open 24 hours and there is always someone there.  It is hard work but if you can manage your time you will have a great 4 (or 5 or 6) years:)  It is not all bad though, just don't come thinking it will be a walk in the park, especially as a ME major.

One of the more useless college degrees when seeking employment. Others include communications, management, art history, and philosophy. Most political science majors go to law school.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I can tell you you'll probably find it easier to find a job with a science degree than an art degree.  Besides, you can always major in science and have art as a hobby, but it's a lot harder to major in art and have science as a hobby.

My crystal ball cannot predict what academic majors will have the most career potential, no one else can either. Just do what interests you the most. College is a waste of your time if you do it only to get a career, you're more likely to enter into a field unrelated to your major. Learn to bullshit, no good bullshit that will actually convince someone.

The best answer that can be given is that it is really up to you and it really depends on what you like and what you want to do with your life.  I dont think your in college by the way you sound and I took several psychology classes and personally, I find them very interesting.  Counseling kind of ties into psychology, and so does sociology.  Liberal studies are overall studies.  If you major in liberal arts, you will take a few classes of every subject.  Human resources, or human services is a major in which you can learn, and have to take, classes in all of these areas.  Good Luck!!!

I don't think that one is inherently better than the other. It used to be that universities were large, had many graduate programs, and focused on research. Colleges were smaller, focused on liberal arts degrees, and catered to undergraduates. But, lots of colleges thought that "university" in the name sounded better, and in the 70s and 80s lots of colleges changed their name to universities, even though they aren't really large research institutions.\n\nI will say that most colleges now are primarily undergraduate oriented, are smaller, and focus on residential undergraduate programs. Universities vary quite a bit, from the huge state university to smaller universities that are really more like undergraduate institutions that have added a few graduate programs.\n\nSo, choose a college or university based on the particulars of specific schools and how it fits with your personality, your occupational goals, and the size of school you'd like to be at. Whether its a college or university doesn't really matter.

a lot of employers just want you to have a degree so \n\nyou have one and you may be hired\n\nthese degrees are becoming more valued for the multifacited and broad knowledge possed by the individual with the liberal arts degree\n\nit's not a bad choice if you unsure what you want to do or if you plan on getting your masters degree in something

I think that writing courses are very helpful. If you want to graduate from college you can major in creative writing. Not only will you get great feedback on your writing skills, but you'll be exposed to all sorts of great resources. For sure take some creative writing classes, and if it's possible to go to college and major in it I would say go for it.

In the real world, it really doesn't matter where you go to get a liberal arts BA degree. I would opt for the most affordable choice. Where you get your MA or PHD matters more. What career are you planning to pursue? Will a BA  actually get you where you are going or would it be more advantageous to get a more specialized degree? Why do you just want to learn about the arts? I would suggest coming up with a better life plan than that. Just a thought.

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

Nooooooo, with some disclaimer....  If you intend on working for someone else, in a job that REQUIRES an MBA or Phd or whatever, then, yeah, you might think of doing something else.\n\nBut a Liberal Arts education is an excellent start to a wonderful, well rounded life.  If your goals don't entail that particular degree as, say, a requirement for employment or advancement, there's nothing that says you can't learn what you need in real life, or just by furthering your formal education.

Yes unless you are naturally gifted, but even then, college is extremely important. even if you are some type of genius, college still helps you to network. It's really good to get to know a variety of people in a variety of fields. Also, college is good time to help you challenge your innate ideas. People change in college, it's a great time.

I go to the Academy of Art University. I had some friends who used to go to Art Institute but transferred to the Academy because AI sucked. I don't know what you're going to major in, but you should definitely take a tour of the Academy. I love it here.

Many people are.  I know I was, years ago.  You may want to start with a liberal arts program at a local community college. When you find something that interests you can major in that subject and then transfer to a four-year school.  \n\nYou get the same diploma as the people that went there for all four (or more!) years, but don't waste all that money trying to figure out what you'd like to do. I tried it both ways and this is definitely the way to go, especially if you're paying for college yourself.\n\nGood Luck.

This has to come from within not from a website.  What are your interests.  You can go to college and get all the major subjects out of the way til you decide.  BUT, if you have NO idea and you are ready for college......well, what have you been doing with your life in the past ??? yrs. instead of dealing with your life?  Think about it and stop wasting your life away and do something with it.  Go with your heart and soul.
