English majors are very marketable because of their ability to communicate well, analyze complex ideas, collaborate, think on their feet, research, and continue learning. This flexibility can lead to a career in many areas, including information and research, publishing, editing, journalism, media, law, medicine, business, education, writing, library science/information services, website development, advertising, marketing, public relations, and more!

Don't take our word for it--see what others are saying about the value of an education in the humanities:

Best of all, you don't have to choose between financial success and your passion. According to salary.com, English is one of 8 degrees providing the best “Return on Investment.” Above all, “the best way to get the biggest bang for your education buck is to truly love what you do."
