# What are the career options after 12th Arts (Humanities)?



## Answers

### Answer by Steave Reigs

Arts is one of the most underrated streams in India, but it offers excellent careers:

- **Law**, through CLAT and other law entrance exams.
- **Civil services**, since many UPSC toppers studied humanities subjects.
- **Journalism and mass communication.**
- **Psychology**, leading to counselling and clinical careers after a master’s degree.
- **Design**, including fashion, interior and graphic design, through NIFT, NID and UCEED.
- **Hotel management, tourism and event management.**
- **Teaching**, after a B.Ed.
- **Economics, political science and sociology**, leading to research, policy and NGO work.
- **Foreign languages**, useful in translation, tourism and multinational companies.

The key is building skills like writing, research and communication, which are valued in almost every profession.
