Many occupations today require a college educated
individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new
information quickly and work well with others on a team. This means
that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of
fields, and your future career may relate more to your personal
career interests, work values and transferable skills than any specific
academic major. However, the following list contains a representative
sample of job titles of former graduates with an English major.
Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some,
but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider.
Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation
are usually those with the best college records and a willingness to
relocate to find a job. Some of these jobs also require education beyond
a bachelors' degree.
