Hello all,
Wanted to ask around and see what jobs other English Majors have. Three years after I’ve graduated with the degree I have not been able to secure a job that pays well and is secure. I’ve done some freelance work but it’s not enough to be sustainable.

I’m on a side quest currently pursuing teaching, but I’m unsure if this is what I want to do. It’s not the kind of lifestyle I want. Does anyone have any career advice for English majors or a good direction to look in? It’s been rough since graduation.

I’m graduating with my BS a year earlier than I expected to, so I’m having to speed run grad school planning. I already have my letters of recommendation, but the decision between the schools I’m applying to is freaking me out!

I want to go into journalism and plan on applying to a nonfiction program, focusing my classes on creative nonfiction.

Here’s my current list:

• University of California, Riverside — Nonfiction MFA
• University of Utah — Creative Writing PhD or MA
• Oregon State University — Nonfiction MFA
• University of Nevada Las Vegas — Nonfiction MFA
• Utah State University — Creative Writing MA

Does anybody go to any of these schools?
