Teaching: Combine your interests in literature, writing and language theory (linguistics, history of English, and rhetoric) to become an English teacher.
Entrepreneurism: You’ll develop critical thinking skills that give you an advantage in recognizing, communicating and pursuing business opportunities. Take your creative ideas and turn them into a lucrative business venture. Exciting businesses are launched every day. Their leaders need effective writing skills.
