Hi Mary,
What do you want to do? Many companies hire new grads with bachelor degrees in many fields. You can consider careers in advertising, technical writing, public relations human resources, museum work and journalism. You job choice really depends more upon your interest than your degree. Depending upon which area you choose to work in, you may need to get additional education.
Best of luck.
