I have an English Degree, and I taught high school for a year. I decided (well, me and the administration decided) that I didn’t want to do it anymore. That was four years ago and I still haven’t found another decent job. I’ll probably get another degree to supplement the English degree (see my entry on getting another degree).
That said, I loved my English classes and I’m completely in love with the language (all aspects of it) and the literature. English is an amazing mutt of a language with a long and interesting history. I know things now that probably less than 10% of the English-speaking population knows, and it’s nice to be an expert of sorts.
