If you don't like math, for goodness sakes don't go into science or engineering. People in those fields may not necessarily solve math probs all day long but they do think in mathematical terms.

Most liberal arts degree programs provide the student with tools and knowledge and analytical training for graduate degree programs. Undergrad liberal arts degrees aren't especially useful unless you can clearly demonstrate that you have leadership skills or extraordinary analytical skills. For the majority of undergrad liberal arts students the entry-level positions that they will be offered will be pretty trivial.

IMO, undergrad science courses, especially biology, are pretty lame. They are long on memorization and fall very short of developing thinking and rhetoric skills in the students. The result is that the students can sketch the Kreb's Cycle but don't know why they would ever want to. Analytical skills and skills of expressing ideas are precisely the skills that should be common and fundamental to every college graduate. But they are not. It is far easier to teach a kid how to memorize than to teach him how to think. Undergrad science curricula are not too good. I know, there are excepts. But this is my experience from having interviewed newly minted science undergrads for jobs.

If I had my life to do over again I would have pursued an undergrad liberal arts degree in English Lit (or history) with an applied math/statistics or physics or chemistry minor. Then off to grad school in one of the science or engineering fields. If you have a demonstrated aptitude in mathematics, statistics, and physics; and if you score well on your GRE and display an obvious and honest enthusiasm for fundamental natural processes, any grad school will take you seriously. You'll end-up taking lots of undergrad courses as deficiencies, but so what? They will be in the field you want to make your life's work.

FYI, I know several people who did almost exactly the opposite of what I outlined above. They got undergrad science degrees and went on to grad degrees in law or public policy. A good friend and former colleague earned a PhD in biology with an incredibly strong probability & stats background then entered law school and earned his JD from Vermont. He is a gov lawyer for USDA and is happy as a clam. Another got his nursing degree and license then practiced in a major teaching hospital for a few years while working on his MBA at Tulane Univ. Now he runs a community hospital in CA.

The world is bursting with opportunities for men and women who have talent and initiative. Of those two, initiative is the more important until you get at the PhD level, IMO.

Except in performing arts. In performing arts, forget everything I said, above.
