Tell me, how exactly does one do that? English is good if you know what to do with it. Really, there is no such thing as a worthless major if you know what to do with it or if you have a plan. HuffleHaire Posted at 5:02 pm on July 28, 2008 Not very useful. TigressaLynnMae Posted at 4:58 pm on July 28, 2008 teaching at the university level pays pretty damn well Depends on the state/university. Around here, teaching at the University is only about 3 thousand more than primary school education. branflakes Posted at 4:52 pm on July 28, 2008 teaching at the university level pays pretty damn well r o c 1 Posted at 4:50 pm on July 28, 2008 major in lawyer or  something that makes money bluerosedangel Posted at 4:49 pm on July 28, 2008 Quote: from xsnortingxashesx at 6:48 pm on July 28, 2008 You could be a writer. Writers don't make very much money, unless you can come up with something like Harry Potter or the LOTR. Keego05 Posted at 4:49 pm on July 28, 2008 Truth. There's fuck all you can do with an English Degree. Why do women always get them though? snowfish Posted at 4:49 pm on July 28, 2008 well if by 'use' you mean secured financial payoff, sure it's useless. I don't think it's worthless though. r o c 1 Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 i thought you go to college to be something like a lawyer,nurse,or something to to do english work thats gay bluerosedangel Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 I'm an English major as well. But I'm going into editing. Editors make pretty good money. But there's no way in hell I could be a teacher. I do not have the tolerance. thinkexist Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 I haven't heard that. But then again, I may be a little biased because I, of course, want to get my english degree and become an english teacher... scottyrob Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 ... Why would you want a degree in English? That seems rather.. Useless? HatesYou Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 You can probably be an editor in chief with it? Or an Author, i mean you'll have the credibility to be one. xsnortingxashesx Posted at 4:48 pm on July 28, 2008 You could be a writer. Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
