Dont make parent to listen this .... give them ur salary Simple and keep ur english with u

Jenna Ostroff effing preach omg

@LameWalkThroughs Amen. I would do the same thing as well. Unless they want to major in STEM, I would not support them either. By the way, I am an English major so this comment isn't biased.

HAHAHAHHAHA

your parents will have the last laugh when you're working at your local Walmart or Dollar tree because you chose a worthless major SMH.

If your name's Murphy, you definitely gotta be a combat arms guy.

You don't even have to teach, you can go to lawschool with a bachelors degree in English Literature. OR work in editing or journalism and publish as an author.

I wonna study english to teach in china !

Do the Asian countries want white people teaching English? I am Asian American and wonder about this

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story, I am entering my last semester this upcoming Fall and I also have motivation to use English to teach others about life and serve my community.

did they hire you because of your English degree? Just wondering.

8. Cheap subject so cheap books

How??

Anurag Aman editing. Journalism. Teaching (at all levels). Companies need writers for ads and other things. That’s just a few.

@Aaron Kowals Yess, Journalism. Literally my dream job haha.

@@cristinaleesullivan9157 Hello! Fellow student here prepping for college apps :). I was struggling with this decision as well a few months ago. Journalism is great if you're 100% sure it's the career field you wanna go into and you're not going in it for the money. English is more of a broad degree which can be applied to many different careers with varying salaries. I chose English because I love writing/reading but I'm not sure exactly what specific career I want to go into after college. It also pairs well with another major or minor to gain skills in complementary fields (e.g. prospective technical writers would possibly minor or double major in a STEM degree). Best of luck with your decision!

Yes, English majors are underrated af.

Aw thank you so much!!

@@bykchoi it means you know a wide range of vocabulary

I love this.

Okay fine. Just don't whine and complain when you can't find a job or do find a job but end up having a low median pay salary. Enjoy the Decline.

Issac Moreno I’m still majoring in criminal justice. Bye.

Issac Moreno there’s so many jobs sir

@@infamouscrusader3363 OK BOOMER

Love this advice! Thank you!

👊

michelleeebeans We rock!

Where do u live ? Is there racism going on ?

I feel the same way! I was also placed into english language learning classes and now I’m getting my BA in English then law school!!!

C. Huseyin amazing!!! I’m currently majoring in philosophy and Spanish but thinking of adding English because writing is not my strongest. I also plan to go to law school

Hey fam please advice I want to do law after majoring in english so how do you exactly do that and how long does the LLB/Bcomlaw/BAlaw take after having an English degree? Also what non compulsory modules would be recommended to lead me to law after that?

@June Throwaway 9898 Huh. I really like accents, and pretty much everyone unanimously agrees they’re pleasant to listen to. Maybe whoever insulted you was grasping at straws thinking of anything they could insult you about, and chose that.

Aw hahah thank you!!

Haha same here

That’s great!

Me too😍😍😍😍

@@trishmendoza2470 @Joseph Arguello. Dang, I was also thinking about majoring in science - specifically wildlife biology. But I really think that english/writing would be a good match for me 😃 . I hope you guys get good jobs and are happy, I wish y'all the best of luck! :)

@@trishmendoza2470 I'm glad you did what you thought was right, that takes a lot of courage 😄. Also, thanks for the wishes!

i am in the same boat i was thinking of working with animals but I have always been more passionate about writing

Can we do master degree after completing bachelor’s degree

it’s been a year since you’ve commented this, as someone who’s reluctant about majoring in English would you advise me to go on ? and how has your journey with an English major been so far ?

uppp

How's going on? I would complete 12th grade within few months and will have to choose majors within 5-6 months... I'm really passionate about majoring in English but still doubtful in some regards...what’s your experience till now?

Yay!! Thanks for sharing!

Carissa Wong I want to ask what subjects should I take to be an English teacher in secondary. Another, tips about what should I use, (e.g. apps) to make myself be good in English. I already subscribed you. I'll wait for your upcoming videos.

Hi there, I think taking English is all you need in school for that. If you want to further your learning, maybe try literature. I believe that many people become English teachers abroad after getting the TEFL certification. www.teflonline.com/ The best way to improve a language is to keep speaking it!

same!

hi i have a bachelor in English and i want to be a PA , But i don't have biology or any science study minor.Did you started studing to be be PA?if you share how you started?are chemistery , microbiology snd medical courses needed in advance?

@@sally-xp8ki It's been a year later and she has not replied. So, she probably did not become a P.A., or she doesn't care about you. Welcome to reality and Enjoy the Decline.

@@infamouscrusader3363 your right ...

@@reb5335 Too bad I just gave it to you. You sure carry some resentment boy to curse me that badly. I suggest you find out what's wrong with you and get over yourself and realize I have the freedom to say I disagree and so do you.

Issac Moreno You good bro?

dudett4 Too late fam😅 I am already doing English major, Journalism and Psychology. You could've replied earlier. Anyway Thanks 💖

Biology is probably worse.

Good luck in school! Sounds like a lot’s under your belt.

Yoongi's y/n it’s going good, a bit tiring as I am doing three majors. But my grades are straight As so I think it’s going pretty right for me

Lefebvreque aw thank you

Like what? Can you specify these professions? Do they pay well? Are they in demand? Have you considered these types of jobs yourself?

How you see your major does not change the reality of one's outcome.

@@infamouscrusader3363 it does though, lets put it this way, someone wants to major in English because they love reading vs someone who wants to major in English for the skills you gain, analysis, critical thinking, communication etc. Someone with that kind of mindset is going to have different outcome because they know what they're looking, they know what they want in the long run and what they want to do with their degree, as opposed to someone who is studying it simply because they like the subject

@@Engel-ol5rm If the market does not have a demand for the subject, it's not going to get paid much. Having an Optimist view does not and will not change that reality. Also, majoring in English for the reasons you mentioned are not good reasons either. If the skills are not marketable then they will.not get hired and if they do the pay will not be well and especially if it is a job that has nothing to do with the subject or it was taught at the job. Also, a subject like English can also be self-taught so I believe spending money on learning a subject like that isn't a great financial move.

@@infamouscrusader3363 the English subject can be self taught but the skills picked up will not be the same as learning it at school. By the way, I know 3 English majors who currently have above average paying jobs, one makes around 85k, the other recently got a raise to 109k and the other makes 45k, they got the English degree for the benefits and skills to could gain, according to them, alot of the Majors I've seen simply chose English because they liked reading, no one's gonna pay you to read lmao

@@Engel-ol5rm Trust me, the skills I have learned, along with many, have gotten the skills outside the classroom. Also, many go into English because they do like reading, but it is also because they they have bought into the lie thinking that all degrees are equal and think their dreams will come true or because they couldn't hack it at the STEM Fields and came to English to get into something easier. As for your examples, they are not exactly credible evidence for your argument since the exceptions never prove the rule and they are more likely Blue Bloods or got their degrees at a time when having a degree almost guaranteed you a job and more likely works in a field that has nothing to do with their major. Today, it is not so and English happens to be the most regretted major now.

Yay!

I think people just expect their English mayors to do their job right and efficiently.

mari I had to take a 2 year gap period, but I am about to go back to school and struggle w job prospects for an English major. I’ve been working for these two years, and I’ve seen how the economy sucks (especially for some minorities). I’m just concerned that I’m going back to school for the wrong major. I don’t want to graduate and be jobless/poor. I’ve already been poor, and it’s rough. Most of my friends are having trouble finding jobs in their fields (psychology and journalism). I guess my question is how do you decide what’s the best course? How do you weigh your pros and cons and ultimately decide whether to take a risk (as an English major) or pursue something else that you essentially have less passion for? I’ve always been a scholar and a 4.0 GPA ever since high school, and my parents always taught me to have big dreams, and aim high. I’m just concerned that those big dreams are gonna leave me face first in the mud somewhere. Wouldn’t be the first time it happened..... Anyway, I’m getting way to personal on KZfaq! Hope you guys are having a great day! Thanks for posting this..it really makes me feel like I’m not alone w this debacle.

@@jassyjubilee3248 I would love to hear an update on your job.

Yes there is definitely lots of overlap!

Same..

glad you enjoyed and thanks for the support! :)

It may make you feel better (referring to the video) but does it make your situation better? If you are an English major, you should consider STEM courses or should have majored in STEM. Also, you should look into the R.O.I of English majors and what jobs you can get in that particular subject.

Glad you enjoyed!

Was the essay 4 paragraphs? Two minutes is impossible for an essay. I can see an hour to slap it all together though.

@@pineduh23 I'm exaggerating, but I definitely took less than an hour to put it all together. I had really intense prewriting that I prepared for days

it's been 3 years. how is it going for you?

Aw glad i could help!

MJ smart way to go
