Communicate
Any business, trade, profession, or service that values communication and skill with language offers a potential career. Listed below are just a few of the areas where English Majors have succeeded. Some of them may surprise you:

Analyze
Real world problems aren't always the ones you find in business textbooks. English Majors learn approaches to problem solving that help them solve problems no one has seen before. You may never be asked to analyze a Shakespeare sonnet, but your analytical skills will make you adaptable to new challenges.

Learn how to learn
In a world where careers and job descriptions change at a faster and faster pace, those who have "learned how to learn" have an advantage.
