Violet- I will definitely try and take a business course or two in the future. That would definitely look good to a prospective employer and would help me establish myself independently if need be.

Anita- “Joining groups of volunteers who go on missions to other countries and far away places to help people, you can join those groups as a writer, writing about the experiences there.” This sounds amazing!! Why didn’t I think of that? Aside from writing about the experience there, I could also help out, sounds perfect! I’m excited.

TriangleSun- “I also like Anita’s point on volunteering missions. There are A LOT of organizations doing this. Heck, even national geographic does this. Travel writing is very interesting and I think this is a great area to explore. Especially when it revolves around some kind of humanitarian cause. Couple that with some photography and you’ve got yourself a photo journalist. Another very interesting niche.” Travel writing sounds amazing. I believe that would be a great fit for me. I would love to do photography. I love taking photos of people and places. I just didn’t think about how well it could go with writing. Thank you for that. I will definitely consider investing in a good camera and I might even take some photography classes.

Dina- It helps to know that there are job opportunities for English majors. I know English comes in handy in many places. However, I expected them to want other qualifications. I am passionate about, so I will stick with it.

Thank you everyone for your ideas. They greatly helped me. I won’t be changing my major. I love English, and I like the idea of doing travel writing. However, I know that even if that doesn’t pan out, that business courses might help me get employed elsewhere where my English skills will still be very useful.

I guess I was afraid of not being employed if I majored in English. It’s something I constantly hear others say about English majors.
