"So,               you               want               to               be               a               teacher?"               I               can't               count               the               number               of               times               I               have               been               asked               that               after               I               tell               people               that               my               college               degree               is               in               English.

What               people               (even               some               English               students)               don't               realize               is               that               there               are               hundreds               of               jobs,               besides               "teacher"               for               a               graduate               with               an               English               degree.

Studies               have               even               proven               that               English               majors,               on               the               average,               achieve               higher               scores               on               the               Medical               College               Admission               Test               (MCATs)               and               the               Law               School               Admission               Test               (LSAT)               than               pre-medical               or               pre-law               students,               due,               in               part,               to               heightened               reading               comprehension               skills.

In               fact,               based               on               this               information,               many               pre-law               students               will               complement               their               degree               with               a               minor               in               English,               or               even               use               it               for               a               dual               major.

Including               teaching,               there               are               five               general               career               paths               available               to               students               of               English;               teaching;               writing,               editing               and               publishing;               advertising               and               public               relations;               business               administration               and               management;               and               technical               writing.

Each               of               them               will               require               some               focused               study               aside               from               the               required               literature               and               grammar               classes.

Within               each               path               there               are               several               choices               for               careers               that               are               perfectly               suited               for               the               English               student.
               Teaching
               This               seems               to               be               the               most               obvious               choice               to               people               who               are               unaware               of               the               other               choices.

English               majors               are               the               clear               choice               for               teachers               of               high               school               and               college               literature               or               writing               classes.

But               the               creative               mind               of               the               English               major               makes               them               terrific               choices               for               general               education               elementary               teachers,               art               teacher,               and               theater               teachers               or               coaches.
               As               for               additional               training               needed               to               teach               as               an               English               major,               you               will               need               to               complete               the               teacher               certification               program               based               on               your               state's               educational               requirements.

To               teach               on               the               college               level,               you               will               need               to               complete               graduate               school,               at               least               to               the               level               of               a               Master's               degree.

This               is               due               in               part               to               the               fact               that               most               college               level               English               professors               are               hired               to               teach               only               a               few               classes,               based               on               their               graduate               emphasis.

If               you               want               to               teach               creative               writing,               you               will               need               a               Master's               in               Fine               Art               degree               in               creative               writing.

If               you               want               to               teach               grammar               or               linguistics,               that               is               what               you               will               focus               on               in               your               graduate               studies.
               Possible               employers               under               the               teaching               path               include               private               schools,               domestic               and               abroad,               public               schools,               colleges               and               universities,               and               specialized               learning               centers               such               as               Educate               Inc.'s               Sylvan               Learning               Centers.
               Writing,               Editing,               Publishing
               The               writing,               editing               and               publishing               path               is               probably               the               broadest               in               terms               of               the               careers               available               within               it.

Within               this               path,               English               majors               can               choose               to               write               for               newspapers               or               magazines,               edit               books,               represent               writers               as               literary               agents.

Many               of               these               careers               require               a               great               deal               of               time               on               the               bottom               of               the               proverbial               totem               pole,               as               well               as               a               great               deal               of               hard               work               to               make               it               to               the               top.

Many               newspaper               or               magazine               reporters               start               out               doing               nothing               even               closely               related               to               their               goal,               especially               in               more               cutthroat               areas               of               the               field               such               as               New               York               City,               London,               Chicago,               working               in               the               mail               room,               answering               phones,               checking               facts               or               making               coffee.

In               smaller               cities,               a               writer               hoping               for               a               features               position               may               have               to               start               out               writing               obituaries               and               work               their               way               up               from               there.
               Editing               and               publishing               careers               are               equally               as               cutthroat.

One               of               the               best               places               to               start               out               on               the               path               to               an               editing               position               is               as               a               copy               editor               for               a               local               newspaper.

Copy               editors               deal               strictly               with               spelling,               grammar               and               mechanical               issues,               leaving               content               editing               to               content               editors.

If               you               are               especially               skilled               at               identifying               grammatical               and               mechanical               errors,               look               into               work               as               a               copy               editor.

Even               if               your               ultimate               goal               is               to               work               for               a               major               publisher               as               a               book               editor,               working               as               a               copy               editor               is               a               good               way               to               get               your               foot               in               the               door.
               English               majors               interested               in               writing               or               editing               for               a               newspaper               will               want               to               take               newspaper               writing               classes               and               probably               get               on               their               college               news               staff.

This               is               primarily               because               the               Associated               Press               (AP)               style               of               writing               is               significantly               different               from               the               Modern               Language               Association               (MLA)               style               of               writing               and               an               English               major               who               is               skilled               in               MLA               writing               but               knows               nothing               of               AP               style               will               have               a               difficult               time               making               the               transition               in               the               highly               pressurized               daily               news               atmosphere.

               Places               to               look               for               careers               in               the               writing,               editing,               and               publication               career               path               include               the               National               Directory               of               Weekly               Newspapers,               Newspapers               Career               Directory               and               the               Gale               Directory               of               Publications               and               Broadcast               Media.

               One               of               the               key               aspects               of               a               career               in               Public               Relations               is               spin.

English               majors               are               terrific               choices               for               positions               in               Public               Relations               because               these               positions               require               a               quick               and               creative               thinker               who               can               also               write               well,               since               one               part               of               the               Public               Relations               career               is               writing               press               releases               for               local               and               national               publications.

They               can               be               taken               as               electives               but               most               English               majors               who               want               to               become               involved               in               the               Madison               Avenue               lifestyle               will               harmonize               their               English               major               with               a               minor               in               mass               communications               or               business               (while               most               schools               will               place               the               advertising               and               public               relations               courses               under               the               mass               communications               department,               some               schools               may               not               have               such               a               department               or               may               have               it               focused               in               a               different               way,               therefore               the               advertising               and               public               relations               classes               may               be               under               the               business               department).

               Business               Administration               and               Management
               Communication               is               key               in               administration               and               management               positions.

This               is               why               English               majors               are               good               in               these               positions.

While               an               Master               in               Business               Administration               (MBA)               graduate               has               learned               the               ins               and               outs               of               running               a               business,               the               English               major               is               presumably               far               more               skilled               in               the               area               of               communication               and               can               do               the               same               job               with               only               a               few               leveling               courses               in               the               legal               aspects               of               business,               courses               which               can,               in               most               cases,               be               taken               over               a               weekend               at               the               local               community               college.
               And               communication               is               not               the               only               way               an               English               major               is               valuable               in               an               administrative               position.

Through               the               four               or               five               years               an               English               major               is               in               college               he               will               have               read               millions               of               pages               and               all               in               relatively               short               periods               of               time.

While               it               can               sometimes               take               a               casual               reader               two               or               three               weeks,               or               longer               depending               on               diligence,               to               finish               a               novel,               the               English               major               has               been               trained               to               read               the               same               novel               in               a               matter               of               only               a               couple               of               days.

This               comes               in               handy               in               an               administrative               position               when               called               upon               to               read,               and               comprehend,               memoranda,               letters,               training               material,               directives               from               higher               offices.

The               administrator               has               to               not               only,               quickly,               read               and               understand               all               of               this               material               but               be               able               to               relay               it               to               his               employees               in               a               way               that               they               will               also               understand.
               Business               administration               and               business               law               courses               are               essential               for               the               English               major               to               gain               employment               as               a               corporate               administrator.

Computer               literacy               is               also               advised,               beyond               the               word               processing               skills               that               an               English               major               has               inevitably               developed.

Spreadsheet               capability,               hardware               familiarity,               and               desktop               publishing               skills               are               attractive               traits               to               add               to               your               resume               when               seeking               a               business               administrator               position.
               Employers               seeking               business               administrators               may               include               not-for-profit               organizations,               colleges               and               universities,               government               offices,               and               for-profit               businesses.
               Technical               Writing
               Finally               we               come               to               technical               writing               as               a               career               path.

Technical               writers               are               often               responsible               for               taking               difficult               to               understand               information               and               "translating"               it               into               "laymen's               terms."               This               may               involve               writing               manuals,               installation               guides,               film               scripts,               or               any               number               of               factual               pieces.

The               other               way               a               technical               writer               may               take               his               career               is               to               write               technical               material               for               professionals.

A               medical               technical               writer,               for               example,               may               be               called               upon               to               take               the               results               of               a               medical               study               and               compile               them               into               a               more               accessible               form               or               to               write               articles               for               medical               journals               concerning               unusual               cases               or               groups               of               similar               cases.
               Technical               writers               are               trained               in               some               area               outside               of               the               writing               field.

Any               technical               field,               such               as               computer               science,               medicine,               engineering               or               aeronautics,               is               good               for               complementing               an               English               degree               for               someone               who               wants               to               be               a               technical               writer.
               Technical               writers               often               work               on               contract               basis               although               some               are               employed               by               large               companies               on               a               full-time               basis.

Such               employers               include               natural               resources               and               energy,               construction,               industrial               materials,               health               care,               financial               institutions,               and               transportation               and               travel.
               One               question               that               I               know               is               on               everyone's               mind               is               salary.

How               much               will               I               get               paid               in               each               of               these               career               paths?

The               numbers               vary               based               on               the               size               of               company               you               work               for,               the               area               of               the               country               (or               world)               you               choose               to               work               in               and               a               variety               of               other               factors               but               generally               speaking,               the               technical               writer               makes               the               highest               overall               salary               of               between               $35,000               and               $54,000,               depending               on               the               company               they               are               working               for               and               how               long               they               have               been               working               for               the               company.

A               reporter               for               the               New               York               Times,               however,               can               average               in               the               neighborhood               of               $69,000               ($1332,               weekly)               in               the               right               department               (the               majority               of               newspaper               reporters               across               the               United               States               make               half               of               that).
               Teachers               average               the               lowest               annual               salary,               most               public               high               school               teachers               starting               at               $19,000               and               professors               at               public               college               earning               up               to               $33,000,               and               of               all               areas               of               teaching               public               college               professors               make               the               highest               salary,               although               the               majority               of               teachers               will               tell               anyone               who               asks               that               they               never               did               it               for               the               money.
               So,               now,               when               presented               with,               "So,               you               want               to               be               a               teacher,"               you               can               be               armed               with               an               answer               that               will               satisfy               you               and,               hopefully,               your               friends               and               family               who               are               convinced               teaching               is               the               only               option               for               an               English               major.
