- Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS / BA in Liberal Studies)
Broad and non-specialized; employers struggle to infer concrete, job-ready skills. - Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
Portfolio-dependent outcomes; income and hiring are highly competitive and unstable. - Bachelor of Philosophy (BA in Philosophy)
Strong reasoning training, but no direct occupational pathway without pairing (law, tech, policy). - Bachelor of Art History (BA in Art History)
Very limited labor market unless followed by museum studies or graduate specialization. - Bachelor of Music (BM / BMus)
Performance careers are scarce and winner-take-most; teaching usually requires further credentials. - Bachelor of Creative Writing (BA or BFA in Creative Writing)
Writing skill alone rarely converts into salaried employment without media or marketing overlap. - Bachelor of Theatre / Drama (BA or BFA in Theatre Arts)
Employment depends on auditions and networks rather than the credential itself. - Bachelor of Religious Studies (BA in Religious Studies)
Narrow professional demand outside clergy, education, or academia. - Bachelor of Anthropology (BA in Anthropology)
Valuable analytical training, but most professional roles require a master’s or applied specialization. - Bachelor of Gender Studies / Cultural Studies (BA)
Theory-heavy with weak standalone labor signaling unless combined with law, policy, or analytics.
I’ve paid my HELB thankfully, so I don’t need to waste any more time or money.
