Where can your English Transfer Degree take you?
The employment opportunities that accompany an English major are myriad. One obvious example is the field of publishing. But English majors rarely stop at the obvious. Their skills apply equally well to the fields of public relations, marketing, advertising and copywriting. In a business setting, English majors often find success as communications managers, web developers, researchers, project leaders or administrators.
If you want your words to reach the lives of others, English might guide you to the areas of journalism, law, government and public policy. For those who truly love filling a blank page, English can lead into creative writing, speech writing, professional blogging, or technical writing. And the careers of professional writer, librarian and teacher are ideal if you find that your love of English is uncontainable and must be shared.
