A decent paying job at least, besides the obvious: english teacher/professor.

Screen writer, newpaper editor, writer, magazine writer, almost anything that has to do with writing. Name it and you probably will be able to do it. Most popular jobs are magazine writers and newspaper writers. Get a good streak of stories going on, and your good to go. It's not hard, but it will exercise your writing abilities to the max. Screen writer is one of those hit or miss jobs. Hard to get into, but once your in the rhythm, your could be rich!

In my experience you need an English major to be an English professor.  An education degree probably won't make any difference.   I suspect the program you are describing prepares students to work in the faculty of Education, not English.

Hey,\n\nFirst of all, teaching is the greatest job in the world.  Despite the stresses that go with it, you're rewarded for your efforts every single day.  \n\nWhen I went through university, I did a double major with a minor.  My majors were Social Studies and English and my minor was History.  I currently teach English but, I'm finding it really easy to make my lessons cross-curricular.  This basically means that many of my English lesson plans have a historic background.  For example, I'm currently teaching "Julius Caesar".  It would be pretty difficult to teach "Caesar" without giving the students the background material and the history of Roman politics.  This also lends well to current political debates.  The key is to reinforce material they're learning in other subjects and I find that English class is an excellent place to do that .  Good luck.

you think only half?  You are being generous, haha.  I am an English major, an English tutor and a writer, so all this horrible grammar and punctuation makes me want to climb through the computer and shake these people.  Don't they have any pride in themselves and how they present themselves?  Obviously not.

If you want to get a good job, you have to be able to write and speak well. You need to take some English classes.

jobs teaching english are easy to get.  you are usually herded in with other english speakers and paid very poorly.  it is a good chance to get out and about.  friends of mine have backpacked around most parts of the world picking up day jobs here and there to keep them going.  its easier picking up jobs in countries that are less structured than western europe and the united states and canada.  they even turned decent profits in south america because depending on where you are its very very inexpensive to live -- a notable exception is venezuela -- part of why chavez got elected -- the old government was as bad the united states.

Attorneys make more money, of course, but it seems like teaching at the university level would be more rewarding in other ways. Both would be stressful. I hear it's pretty hard to find a professorship, though. But a decent lawyer can always find work. If you're serious about pursuing an MA or a PHD in history, don't expect to have an easy time finding a job after you graduate. I'm thinking about going for an MA in literature. I just think it could be depressing to be a lawyer. I heard a good quote from a lawyer, regarding his job: "There are a lot of trees, but no forest."--In other words, you spend a lot of time poring over papers filled with boring little details, without ever dealing with the things that really matter in life. As a history prof, you'd get to spend more of your time thinking about the bigger issues.

Speaking English would be a great start.

Teacher in college? It's ok.\nTeacher in high school? She hasn't seen the news lately huh? There's a lady that got arrested and went to prison for just that sort of thing. \nIs it really worth it?

some are professionals who are very highly educated and enjoy travel and teaching\n\nand some are backpackers who want to live on the cheap.\n\nI suggest that any school thinking of hiring ANY teacher (both local and foreign) check the credentials and references VERY carefully

Gosh with an English degree you can really get a ton of jobs. People are hired based on their writing and analysis skills. You can get jobs in communications like journalism, film, public relations.

Check out the internet.  Lots of jobs to be had on Dave's ESL Cafe.  I'm teaching in Korea right now and recommend it.  The pay is a little better than in China and I think we get more holidays here too.
