There are a lot of careers you can do with a women’s studies major, for example you can work for a feminist magazine label or you can find a lot of gigs with the LGBT centers or you can be a women’s staff attorney or you can do fellowships with the Transgender Law Center. You can also get into canvassing for human rights.

Marissa’s Answer

Many universities have a “potential job” page on the major’s website. If you don’t seem to be finding anything, reach out to the department’s academic advisors! They will be the most helpful if you ask them straight forward questions like this.

lillie’s Answer

Women and Gender studies is starting to become more and more popular throughout recent years and there are more opportunities for careeers in this field. Careers in politics standing up for women's reproductive rights or gender rights . Personally, I minored in Women and Gender studies in the hopes to either be a therapist or a human rescorce manager because it gives the ability to understand discrimination and predjudice in the workplace and how to prevent that. I think that with the major of Women and Gender studies, you can use your degree in almost any career field.
