Social research or advertising perhaps. The truth about an arts degree is that a lot of the time it doesn't matter which arts degree it is, rather what additional skills you can demonstrate. It's the fact of having a degree that gets you graduate jobs.

I completed a sociology degree in 2001 and have worked in social and market research, then moved on to public sector consultation roles and am currently working in social housing in 'tenant participation' - co-ordinating events (conferences, discussions etc), carrying out research, writing a tenant newsletter, running a forum etc. etc. I know of other people who went on to train as social workers and probabation officers and others who work in regeneration...
