Question: Degree in English??? I have a BA in English, not English lit, not Elglish and education, just English. Right now I sell cars. Anyone else have any other ideas, or want to offer me a job? I should also mention I'm a genius. and I don't want to teach.

Answer: English majors, like other liberal arts majors, have the flexibility to move easily between careers and to succeed in a rapidly changing workplace.\n\nBecause the ability to express ideas clearly and powerfully is valued above all other skills in most professions, English majors often become lawyers, editors, bankers, business managers and owners, technical communicators, journalists, web masters, publicists, managers and support staff in IT industries, researchers, librarians, community activists, government and NGO staff, politicians, advertising copywriters, and leaders in dozens of other professions where critical thinking and the ability to write well and to analyze and develop complex arguments are valued. \n\nIt is an old and disproven myth that the only thing 'to do' with a degree in English is teach.
