Hamilton College? What after?
If I were to go to a artsy school, such as Hamilton, what kind of jobs could I get after college? Would it be the same as any other? Hamilton doesn't make you take classes that you don't want to take (i.e Math). I just didn't know if that was wise..

I don't know if I would call Hamilton "artsy", but regardless, it depends on your major. Liberal arts schools like Hamilton usually appear to quite a few employers, looking for well-rounded students. I'm at a similar liberal arts school in the Northeast, and, even as an art major, there are plenty of employers looking for smart students with liberal arts backgrounds (museums, financial jobs, etc.). There are students working at important architectural firms, hedge funds, at so many different research institutions, at IT firms, and anywhere else you can think of. The only thing really limiting you is yourself; if you don't take any quantitative courses (math, econ, physics, bio, chem, etc,), you probably won't be hired to work as an analyst; if you don't take art/art history courses, you probably won't be qualified to work in a museum. It's really all up to you. (Keep in mind you don't necessarily have to major in a subject to be qualified to work at a job in that field ie - art history major at top medical school, or english major @ Fidelity Investments. I'm sure they have guides for what to take if you want a career in whatever. And if you are something like an english major with an interest in arts journalism, you probably don't need to take math. To get into Hamilton in the first place, you probably have to have pretty good grades in math, and even if you don't, taking classes in college isn't going to help you any. They probably figure you're mature enough to make up your own decisions about courses (at least courses outside the major), and your future in general.
