There are a million things you can do with an English lit degree.  Teaching.  Copywriting. Editing. Publishing. Adversiting. Marketing.  You could use your bachelor degree as a springboard for law school.  Don't listen to the retards you tell you to major in business or journalism because those are the only practical options.  Do what you love and you'll find something to do with it.

Go for general studies first. What do you like to do. If you dont like math, then I hope you can write. Careers are full of one or the other. I am no good in math and decided to be a Mass Communications major specializing in Strategic Public Relations. In other words I make companies and people look good. Interested?

Just mail all the libraries in UK and tell them you're looking for work. Volunteer to help out on a trial basis and see if they keep you on. All the main universities have libraries so mailing them is easy

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

Have faith!  You can do it!  I didn't start college until I was 36.  Eight years later, I had two degrees.  I went straight on for my masters degree.\n\nAs far as what you might major in, I like your first choice simply because I have a BA in English & History with a MA in English with a Teaching Writing concentration.  I don't have certification to teach anything other than college composition courses, and faculty positions at community colleges are harder and harder to find!  If you get certified for secondary ed, you would be better off.\n\nI'm not certain how Anthropology and English lit fit together...\n\nEnglish & Library Science sound great, but would probably require a masters degree in Library Science to get you anywhere.  Librarians are in high demand, but don't always pay much unless you can find a head librarian's position.\n\nYour idea of Sociology and Criminology might work if you go more into the chemistry/science area...CSIs are in high demand now due to TV.\n\nYou will be young enough to go on for a masters (I finished my MA at age 44) if you decide you want to do that, and if there is a masters program near your home if you don't want  to (or can't) relocate.\n\nThere are lots of options for you.  By the way, the book "What Color is your Parachute?" by Richard Nelson Bolles.  The last publication date is 1990, but it's still a good book!\n\nGood Luck!  Don't give up!

You should definitely get a Masters degree in English, and ideally a doctorate.  Most universities require their professors to have published work in academic journals, but sometimes they will accept unpublished teachers with exceptional work experience that could help the students.  Most universities also expect their professors to continue to research and publish while they teach.

Sociology Professor\nUnemployment Line Occupant\n\n\nJust kidding.  There are plenty of jobs available, you just have to know what fields to look in.  Here's a pretty interesting site with some information on jobs for sociology majors:\n\nhttp://www.worldwidelearn.com/online-education-guide/social-science/sociology-major.htm

There are always people who love their jobs/subject and they are always going to be better than the people who hate it. \nIf you hate your job/subject you are probably not getting great grades which will make it difficult to find a job later anyway. \nIf you think you will make an excellent job of english/anthropology why waste your time with more microbiology if you hate that (or at least don't love enough that you can put up with chemistry for its sake). \n\nIf you think you will be able to work your butt off for your new major and enjoy doing that it is a good decision, if that's just something to do until you can think of something better it probably isn't, then you should spend some time figuring out what you really want to do. Maybe take a year off and get some work experience in jobs you think may be interesting for you.

Write, write, write... but do something else too. Have something else to fall back on. Two of my best friends graduated college with degrees in English, and you know what they do with their lives? One works at Pizza Hut, and the other is employed through a temp agency.

Ask yourself why you suddenly want the change from a useful degree to one more abstract? Languages are good to study, as is literature... but how will you feed your children and your future self if your pursue literature? As an academic librarian, I ask this question back to you!

OK, I have a lot to say about this, so please give this a read. \n\nI have three college degrees. One is an associate's (I went to a community college), one is a bachelor's, and one is a master's. I didn't decide on my major until my junior year of college, and even then, I wasn't sure if I made the right decision. \n\nDO NOT let anyone tell you that you have to decide right away. You don't. Declare yourself a liberal arts major and take as many different classes as you can. Take what sounds interesting. Take internships. Take as much as you can! The only way to find out what you want to do is explore and experiment. \n\nAnd you don't have to know what you want to do for a living right out of high school OR college. I'm 28, and I've just decided what my "calling" is. It took me a long time, but I finally made it. \n\nBut I also want to go back to school for more education in areas where I didn't get to take classes. So, please, explore and don't let anyone pressure you into choosing a major.\n\nBy the way, I majored in English, and the only reason I did it is because I love to write. I didn't make the decision for careers because I'm certainly not making a lot of money off of my writing. :)\n\nGood luck, and my best to you with whatever decisions you make!

Yes. You wouldn't have to major in communications to teach speech. Maybe you should look into an Education Major with emphasis in Theater and English and a minor in Music, or a Theater Major with a Minor in English Education and Music? You could do school for Theater and minor in Music and focus on that, and then do Education/English stuff later?

Most quality certificate programs will take you about a year to complete if you already have your bachelor's degree.  You can search for schools that offer a TEFL or TESOL certificate.  (TESOL = teaching English to speakers of other languages)  Actually, you can probably get a job teaching English in another country right now, but you don't necessarily want to work for places that would hire people without a certificate.  Plus, as an English major, you most likely didn't learn the English linguistics or teaching skills necessary to teach English to non-native speakers.\n\nWhether you have fun, of course, is up to you and is probably dependent on whether TESOL/TEFL is really a good fit for you.\n\nWelcome to the English language teaching profession!
