The Future of Liberal Arts Students

   As is depicted in the picture, a man who attended a liberal arts college says that he got a bachelor of unemployment degree after graduation. Seemingly funny, it informs us of the phenomenon that many people may worry about the employment of liberal arts students. However, I believe liberal arts education is beneficial for our life and job hunting in the long run.
   Firstly, liberal arts education is not intended to train you for a specific job, but provide you with the ability to think for yourself, the skills to communicate effectively and the capacity for lifelong learning which are highly valued by employers. The world is changing rapidly and it would be dangerous if you prepare yourself to fit a certain slot that may even not exist by the time you get into the job market. Secondly, studies in arts may provide the certain skills that you will apply on the job. For instance, some people will be able to excel in today's global business thanks to the foreign language skill developed in their arts education.
   Therefore, we should not underestimate arts education which will benefit our life and future job.
