Career Outlooks

A degree in English from La Sierra University opens many doors for varying career paths, including but not limited to teaching, publishing, technical writing, copywriting, editing, marketing writing, and screenwriting. Employment in these differing areas is generally projected to grow 8 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Strong competition should expected for full-time jobs, as many graudates are attracted to occupations in this area, particularly those in journalism and magazine writing.

As large publishing houses are declining, there is an increased need for writers who have adapted to online and social media, and who are comfortable working with electronic and digital tools. The declining costs of self-publishing and the growing popularity of electronic books will allow many freelance writers to have their work published. In May 2017, the median annual wage for writers and authors was $61,820 and $59,170 for high school teachers.
