Besides an English professor, teacher or translator what occupation can someone with an Associates, Masters or Doctorate in English have? Also, what is the highest paying job that someone can have with an English degree?

You could work in any industry.  Copy Editor, Public Relations, Press writer, screenplay writer, story writer, publication, technical manual writer, textbook writer or editor, grant writer.  Basically anything that requires strong written communication skills and a strong command of the formal system.  By the way College Professors have been known to command salaries as high as $250,000.  But the highest paying job someone with an English degree can probably get is writer.  it is slowly become a most art.  I hope this helps.

Check out the link below.  Common industries for people with Education degrees include educational publishing, corporate training and counseling.  You might want to consider adult education as well (it's nice to teach people who are in class voluntarily).

Nope. English is way too difficult of a language for people that are up at 2am in the US to try to master.  Chances are if you're up right now you're drunk, on drugs, and insomniac, work shift work, or live in a different country that doesn't use English as their primary language.  Either way, the opportunity of someone like that having a good job where correct English is a priority is probably long gone.  Now that brings up the next question.  I'm  here at 2:30 am answering your question.  Which of the above is my problem?

I have a good friend with that degree from the University of Hawaii.  He's been teaching English at a school in Japan for the past 22 years and loves it!

A history degree is often useful in pursuing careers in archaeology, museum services in curation and archiving, government work as the historian for military units, or as a writer publishing various works of history in magazines, newspapers, and of course books.\n\nI work full-time as a maritime historian for a company that archaeologically excavates shipwrecks in deep oceans around the world.  There are virtually no other jobs like mine, however, so that's not a typical career path.  But there is plenty of opportunity for people who choose a specialty in maritime history - and there are a number of advanced degree programs in that specialty at US universities.  Most of the employment is at museums and archives, in the US and other countries.\n\nIn all cases, you must become a skilled writer, and master grammar and spelling.  A professional historian must publish.  It is often important to know at least one additional language, depending on the area of history that will become your specialty.  I am not familiar with university degree requirements now, but in the 1960's when I took a baccalaureate degree, to graduate we had to demonstrate proficiency in one or more languages other than English, so perhaps you have already addressed this matter.\n\nSome corporations also employ historians, as do professional or trade associations.  These are typically jobs that include archiving skills.\n\nYou can learn more by checking the online sites for museum associations, the society of archivists, and other groups.  Be persistent and creative in launching Google or Yahoo searches and you'll find all sorts of information.  This will help you consider what type of graduate work you should undertake.  It also is a good - and fun! - use of your time to visit some local museums to talk about career options with the staff.  You need not be asking them about a job at their organization, of course - but in getting information, you may discover opportunities.\n\nIf you choose to become a professor, you will absolutely have to earn a doctorate.  While in your graduate studies, if you also work as a teaching assistant or lecturer, you gather important experience and develop connections to help land an appointment on a faculty.  And again, remember you must write and publish!\n\nBest wishes!  It's marvelous to get paid to do what we love!

Is there something you are good at or have a special knowledge of?  I am thinking about the same thing as you (writing an ebook).  What do you do for a living, or what are your hobbies.  Hope that gets you thinking.

I'm satisfied with my English degree in the sense that I'm very happy what I learned from it. \n\nBut I love learning, and I want to learn more. So, I plan on taking more graduate-level speech courses, more psychology courses, and possibly getting another degree, this time in training and development.

About the only thing a degree in English is good for is teaching.  If you enjoy teaching, and like English and Literature, this is a good fit for you.\n\nYou might consider journalism or communications along with an English minor, or make it a double major to open more fields to you.  \n\nIf you enjoy languages in general, you might pursue a course in foreign languages.  The FBI/CIA/NSA pay big bucks for certain languages now, such as Arabic, Russian, and Chinese as well as many others.  You could also work as an interpreter, book translator, and many other jobs .... and of course, you can always teach with this type of degree.\n\nYou may also consider taking a lot of creative writing courses with your English degree and become a novelist, short story writer, and/or poet.\n\nThere are many opportunities for someone in the field of language.  What I tell my daughters is to figure out what they really love to do and choose that.  Money is important, but if you are going to work 40+ hrs a week for the rest of your life, you should be doing something you love.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

as far as best paid jobs bussiness and pre-med are the way to go (pre-law is up there but not as high as you would expect) but the highest paid college graduates are not nesecarily bussiness majors but ones with general liberal arts degrees, but here's the thing if what you're studying makes you hate yourself all the money in the world can't buy that back, if you're miserable when you take bio, but Com classes make you come alive, do that instead, another interesting point is, a very low percentage of grads go into their major, (I think it's around 30% but possibly less) I'm a poli sci major and I recently met a grad of the poli sci department at my school (a fairly prestigious university) working as a director at a Christian summer camp

A two year college, such as a community college or Junior college will provide you with an Associates degree.\n\nA four year college or university provides you with a Bachelors degree.\n\nAfter you earn your Bachelors degree, you can then work on your Master's degree. \n\nYou can then go from your Master's degree to your Post Grad or Doctorates. (PHD or Juris <spelling??> Doctorates for Law.)\n\nHope it helps.  Happy school hunting!!

usually translators work from a foreign language into their native language. a very high level of expertise is required and there is a lot of competition for very little pay. there are other far more profitable ways to put your language skills to use.

Well, a degree is one thing.  Punctuation and grammar and proper usage are another like your sentence.\n\nIn response to various said people criticizing my english, I actually have a degree in English.\n\nIf you have a degree then use it properly.

Swati\n\nWould you like to consider having a job as a lecturer?\n\nAll you have to do is complete your B Ed if you scored below 55% marks in MA and you qualify as a junior college teacher\n\nIf your percentage is higher, you could appear for the NET/ SET exam and join a degree college. \n\nPay scale is good. \n\nI am also a lecturer---we work only for three hours and I think this is the best job for a lady coz she can devote a lot of time for her children and her house hold. Moreover, we have sooooooo many holiday that it is possible for me to give time to my hobbies as well\n\nI have been appointed as a lecturer in English and get paid extra for engaging classes in computers\n\nTeachers in English get a lot of students seeking private coaching---although I am not interested in it---also take spoken English classes\n\nPerhaps you would be surprised to know that there is a great demand for teachers in the USA at this moment

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but anyone with a degree is very valuable in the u.s.     You should be able to get a job without a problem, especially since you speak 3 languages. Try getting a job in Chicago, Illinois,  the people there are from all over the world and could use someone like you!!!!!
