Creative writing: Choose a writing minor, and you’ll gain skills in writing fiction, poetry and scripts for video, television, movies and radio.
Marketing communications: Promotional writers also are in high demand for their ability to write persuasive marketing materials, press releases, employee communications, documentation, grants, training materials and proposals.
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.
