College offers an opportunity to explore your interests, to discover where you want to go and what you want to be. Few English majors begin college with sharp focus on a precise career.
Developed interests have a way of becoming useful talents.
I like to study literature. I've even thought about writing. Well-trained people continue to be hired in all fields. Some English majors pursue graduate studies in literature and language and wish to become teachers, but many others establish successful careers in law, journalism, library science, editing, advertising, public relations and civil service. Business has become a recent favorite.
