Description

In a tech-dominated world, the most needed degrees are the most surprising: the liberal arts

Did you take the right classes in college? Will your major help you get the right job offers? For more than a decade, the national spotlight has focused on science and engineering as the only reliable choice for finding a successful post-grad career. Our destinies have been reduced to a caricature: discover ways to write computer code or end up in the back of a counter, pouring coffee. Quietly, though, a different path to success has been taking shape. In YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education – and the ways it can open the door to thousands of state-of-the-art jobs every week.

The key insight: curiosity, creativity, and empathy are not unruly traits that will have to be reined in. You’ll be able to be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You’ll be able to segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, You’ll be able to bring a humanist’s grace to our swiftly evolving high-tech future. And if you know how to attack the job market, your opportunities will be vast.

In this book, You are going to learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why “telling your story” is taking its place. You are going to discover ways to create jobs that don’t exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers’ eyes light up. You are going to discover why people who start in eccentric first jobs – and then make their own luck – so regularly race ahead of peers whose post-college hunt focuses only on security and starting pay. You are going to be ready for anything.
