History BA versus Liberal Studies BA

[cookderosa]

I do. I sometimes wish I had gotten a degree in something besides liberal studies so I don't have to explain my degree. It'd be easier to say I have a history degree rather than a liberal studies degree and then have people ask what I majored in.

I agree. Get the history degree. No it doesn't specifically prepare you for a job, but neither does a LA degree. It's my opinion that having a major presents you as a more focused scholar, but that's just my two cents. Oh, and because history was your favorite subject is a totally good reason to earn a degree in history.
