Though English degrees are not always career specific, and are often springboards into an advanced degree program, many employers see English majors as the best and brightest potential employees.
Jobs as novelists, creative writers, and poets are not plentiful, and average salaries are not very encouraging, but English majors have the edge over many other competitors in the job market. They get their edge when it comes to their excellent written and oral communication skills, good critical and creative thinking, and research skills. These put them at the top of the list for some positions in business administration. Additionally, English majors excel in media areas like research, editing, publishing, public relations, advertising, technical writing, and professions where decision making, research, and comprehension are of extreme importance.
The average income in 2005, for people with degrees in English was from $23,330 to $91,260, with a median income of $44,350, depending on the career field and location.
