<p>That’s all the more reason to not box yourself into a narrow career path with a degree that prepares you for an entry-level job in a field to which you may not be committed for the long haul. The best career skills that one can take away from undergraduate work are those which build communication abilities and require students to draw upon multiple disciplines and develop expertise in exploring information and constructing new understandings from what they find. Those skills can get a student promoted into leadership positions long after an entry-level job from a purely career-related major has concluded.</p>
