I love the Career Path videos on this channel. It helps students like myself to know how a college degree in a certain discipline can translate to certain job prospects in the real world.
So glad these are helpful, Sarah! -CC
I had a high school teacher discouraging us from majoring in journalism, she would tell us just write. Fast forward 20 yrs, texting and social media have really screwed up my writing skills. My grammar is awful. I want to ake a few english courses to spruce them up, this was encouraging to watch. It will not be a waste of my time.
Lol, I use to have perfect hand writing, I use to love writing, everything I wrote to people were handwritten then computers, laptops became the official way of sending things to people because anyone can read a typed text but not everyone can read handwriting. Long story short I learned touch typing and barely used handwriting anymore, now fast-word to 2022 my touch typing skills have improved significantly but my writing has decreased, it is awful and when I write for long periods of time my hand starts to hurt. I think handwriting is a dying art because people only use it to do small tasks like take notes, shopping, etc but not for anything major.
It would be nice to including the avg number of job postings and salary info. These shows potential career paths but it can be very challenging if everytime you apply for one of these gigs you have to compete with hundreds of other qualified candidates.
It's really a nice initiative. I am a English majors as well and yes it helped me too
Thank you for this!
a clear and concise display of English majors as a copywriter
I majored in communications thinking it was sexier and more employable than majoring in English. I fully regret this and would undo my years of being a communications major to be an English major nerd any day.
Loved this! Definitely inspiring
So glad Jen! -CC
Wow the lady was so cool, she's definitely on the right track, this video truly inspired me, I love languages too and writing, I would love to persue a career in that field but we're often told that we're going to starve with a degree on our hands, especially in my country South Africa where unemployment among the youth is at its peak.
I wonder if she still does the same job today?
Hello! I'm an intern in the English department at my school, I was wondering if I could share this video with my students?
Yes of course! -CC
I'm interested in a brand manager... I want to know more details about that... And If you are giving any job for fresher, give me the opportunity.....
such a great video, I want to have carrer in gaming community, to be a writer for games and animations films, does any of you have someinformations how to start/study look for internshios?
I want to be as confident and efficient as them
11/10 video
Most jobs want experience, I love this video but realistically if you don’t have experience jobs won’t hire you. I have an English degree currently and it’s not that easy
Same. I just finished college with an English degree and have been sending my resume everywhere like a mad woman. The few interviews I’ve been able to get the first thing they’ll say is “so you mainly focused on school huh?” I have a few things listed as experience on my resume but because they were short lived ( a few months due to being summer internships) I guess it’s not enough. Even securing a freaking fast food job is hard for me, I’m guessing the bachelors is like an over-qualification. Idk. 😩
I rly want to switch to an english degree major. Im currently in med school but I rly want to take literature cause Im unhappy now and want to leave the country if I can find work there
@@Christian-wu3mp English degree is a good choice
@@victorpeng5531 if i graduate in my own country can I work in the US?
Wow. This is amazing
Glad you liked it! -CC
Ngl, this video just convinced me not to study for a degree in literature 💀
Can you describe more career opportunities for English graduates. Me and my friends need a correct guidance

@@Indeed thank you!

Can you become a technical writer if you majored in English?
Yes, with training and skill development, it is possible to become a technical writer with an English degree. Check out this resource for more information on becoming a technical writer - indeedhi.re/3lgKG0D. -CC
Although, you should put into consideration that a lot of technical writing jobs require specialized skills.
Yeah man of course you can. I applied to many technical writing positions recently, we’ll see if I hear back.
@@Noah-pk7tfDefinitely keep us updated! Really curious
@@dernddy I heard back from one job yesterday! However, it wasn’t for technical writing, it was for a sales position. Good pay though! Some companies are simply looking for people with degrees, this job had nothing to do with my English degree and they called me back. It is actually higher paying than any other position I applied for. Starting pay, 77k. Able to be promoted twice within the first 18 months and can eventually become CEO of a location after some years. Pretty crazy!

one of her fears should be chatGPT
Its a little unfair though. As a Boggan she can complete most tasks in a matter of minutes, as long as no one is watching.
