Post-degree options???
#7
In general, most jobs that require a degree seem to require any regionally-accredited bachelor's. A Liberal Studies major checks the box and is adequate. Some are looking for something more specific—a BS in Business, or Finance, and so forth—and I have yet to see one that specifically requires a BA in Liberal Studies. So it's not as specifically useful but it is far from worthless.

I'd caution against a second bachelor's and steer you towards a masters. In my industry, at least, a second bachelors is not useful for getting a job, but just for showing that you enjoy the process of education. Nothing wrong with that but also nothing substantially gained. A graduate degree, however, does show a level of commitment and expertise to a specific field and is worth something.
