With a Women's Studies major, you would possess all of the requisite skills and knowledge to be Assistant Manager at Burger King.





After about three years as a fry cook, that is.

There's always Wal-Mart.
Ha ha ha, drjj1967's and 50/50 to 50's answers are the truth!!
You can do anything you want to. A good humanities degree is an entree to further study and a base for many types of jobs.





As well as working in women's services, you could apply for a position in an NGO or Not-for-Profit organisation, or a corporate position that interests you.





The only thing that will hold you back is to insist on pigeon-holing yourself.





Cheers :-)
If you see it through to a masters or a P.H.D. you might be able to teach it. Other than that it's not a very marketable degree.
Other then the three Fereshte pointed out I really cant think of anything......honestly your better off majoring in something else and minoring in WS's


maybe psychology or history major's


i will agree with ya....the classes are a lot of fun!





Good luck!
I guess you can go into Human resources on some company.
There are very select things you can do with a Woman's Study major (and it depends on your specialty).


1) Research. If you're going into women's history, for example, you can go into research programs that help research area's of women's studies.


2) teach. With an MA you can be an adjunct professor at most public colleges. Its not bad pay though if you're going to go this route I suggest the full PhD and go for professor. Its harder but the money is considerably better.


3) writer. You can write articles/books--preferably based off of your research. This is a good route if you like to write or have a talent in it, but probably the riskiest of the three.





I can't think of much more than that. There's very little you can do in this day with a BA, no matter WHAT you're studying so I say go for at least the MA. Know what you want to do before you go for it, though. You don't want to spend all that money and then be left with no job or a job you don't like.





Talk with your advisor at school. He or she will be able to guide you to job options. If you're just starting school, chances are your major is going to change at least once. ^_^ It happens to the best of us.
Law School.
i think you may do better with it as a minor. for example, i'm a professional writing major, emphasis on Journalism, but i'm a WS minor because i want to eventually write about women's issues. therefore, i can still get pretty much any writing job, but when the time comes, i'll have the knowledge and education to write about what i really want to.





but with a WS major, yo can do many things. like Cassis mentioned, (and thanks cassius for not being a sarcastic jerk like the others) you can work in any human relations. you could also find yourself working for any woman's organization.





like any degree, just having a degree enables you to get a good job more easily.

Public Relations


Professor





ROBERT: that is discrimination and ignorant as well.
Social work and counselling (with extra study and practice) , service coordinator (like for crises centres and such); public relations, human resources, historian, researcher; statistician, journalism, teaching, public education, health promotion.
I have to agree with Robert. As a hiring manager, your responsibility is to the company, not society. So, just because you think it is a great cause, many in society don't, and the company surely won't. In fact, the company HR department will try and weed out the trouble makers before they ever step into the building, and people with a cause are seen as troublemakers, so you probably won't even get an interview.





Sometimes the truth hurts.
I highly recommend taking business or social work. These two have a lot of potential. I took general arts in university (women's studies is in this category) and there isn't much out there unless you want to go for the PhD and be a professor. Look in the classifieds in the ';Professional'; section and see what degrees are being asked for. I'll bet there's a lot that require business/accounting or social work. A BA in business or an MA in Social work will open a lot of doors.
Women's studies is good but maybe not as a sole study. It might be a good idea to supplement it with a complementary study. Maybe Psychology, or Sociology for instance. If you branch your studies out you will find a much wider array of careers that you can apply your training too. ( women's counselor, Sociologist with a specialty in women's studies ).
Starbucks is hiring. With a PHD in women's studies, they will start you off as an assistant manager.
I can't give you any advice, but I will put you in touch with someone who can. She minored in WS, I believe, but you can send her a message and I'm sure she'd help.

Perhaps you can google the topic. The permutations are endless.
Become a Women's Studies professor! (That's about it, sorry, hun.)
It really does not seem as though it's a very marketable major.
I know if i worked in corporate America and a resume came to me and said the candidate was a women's studies majors their file would be going in the potential lawsuit file to never be seen again





You could get a job teaching on a college campus or work in politics or for a Non-profit organization





Unavailable- maybe, but is something worth considering when choosing a major, if your going to choose a subject that interests you over one that applies to your field of study, be aware that it may hurt you in the long run
It's hard enough getting a decent job these days with any humanities degree and oversubscribed subjects like sociology, media studies and psychology (despite the wide interest) tend to have no job focus. Anyone believing they they can come out of university and be on the employment short-list is in for a disappointing shock.


It seems the best opportunities are in science/technology. But not everyone can or wants to pursue science courses and so they need to make well-informed and considered decisions about what their chosen study can provide in terms of a career.


A versatile, intelligent person can turn their hand to many things and it's not uncommon for people to end up having a career in something not determined by their study. Shutting yourself into a niche can be intellectual and career suicide.
Drink orange juice. At least that's what I'm doing right now.
