  What can you do with a degree in English?

  First, Gonzaga is a great school—that will really help you in whatever you choose to do next. I went to EWU. I would have loved to have been able to afford Gonzaga! Anyway, I earned my B.A. in Lit, and then I got my M.A. in Linguistics. I teach full-time ESL now in an Intensive English Program at a large University. A few things: If you want to be a professor down the road, you’ll need to get your MA and most likely your PhD (unless you choose a field in which an MA is the terminal degree). You can get your MA in lots of different things, and jobs will be flexible after that. For example, I was offered a few full-time composition lecturer positions after graduating with my MA in Linguistics, and I had only taught comp during grad school. Unless you want to get stuck teaching lower level comp classes to first and second yera students, get your PhD. And avoid adjunct positions at all costs if you can. UGH. Some friends of mine who also have BAs in English are now working as tech writers and they loathe it. But it’s an option. Also, I’m not sure about what Judi wrote, above. It seems that most high schools actually hold out for applicants with teaching degrees. Plus, depending on the state, you might have to get an extra teaching certificate. M.A. or bust?

  Which audiobook should I listen to next?

  The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy. It’s read by Brad Pitt, and love him or hate him, he’s a stellar reader.

  What do your friends or relatives post on Facebook that you do not want to think about?

  An acquaintance recently had the status: “Emily just had sex. It hurt!” That status continues to haunt me. I’m hoping some stupid friend hacked onto her page and wrote that. Still, I can’t look Emily in the face anymore.
