What can you do with a major (Bachelor's degree) in Theatre and a minor in Economics?

I recently graduated with a B.A. in Theatre and a minor in Economics. I know many will say that this was a bad choice because you cannot do much with a degree in Theatre. However, during my time at school I made sure that I took math (Quantitative Reasoning, Statistics) Economics, Marketing, Non-Profit Management, and Psychology. In addition, my internships, though many were theatre related, focused not on the performing aspect, but the business aspect. For example, I finished an internship at Cherry Lane Theatre working as the managerial and marketing intern. So, I handled the finances: company ledger, payroll, contracts, etc. I also worked as a marketing intern for the KGM studios and handled three of the companies marketing campaigns. The degree I received coupled with my experience, will I be able to obtain a decent job or am I doomed?
