What can you do with an English degree?

Asked by fujikohartlily (35points) July 8th, 2009

I will graduate college next spring with an English degree. Why I ended up with this course of study is long and boring, but I would not have chosen it if I had had more options (or if I’d spent more time thinking about future career options). I have finished all the required classes for the degree, so at this point there is no point in switching schools so I can get a useful degree.

The problem is that I have NO idea what to do with this degree. None. It doesn’t apply to any job I actually have an interest in. But I can’t take out any more loans, need insurance really badly, and am too old to go for another degree anyway (I’m 32).

There must be SOMETHING I can do with this damn degree. Does anybody have some idea what use I could put it to?

FYI: I am not in any way cut out for any kind of corporate/business work.
