English majors are sought after by employers because they have demonstrated the ability to think, write, and argue persuasively. English majors are skilled readers who know how to analyze texts, and they use these same abilities whether they are in the classroom looking at a novel or poem or outside the classroom developing an advertising campaign, publishing an article on politics, creating a convincing business plan, or writing a book. In a world where jobs increasingly focus on the management of information, English majors have an advantage because they are strong readers who know how to interpret complex information. The Dean of the School of Law at St. Mary's University has stated that an "English major is considered to be the very best for those who intend to enter law school." Indeed, students who have recently graduated with a degree in English from Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus have been accepted into such prestigious law schools as George Washington University, Boston University, and Fordham University. Moreover, according to the Educational Testing Service, English majors are well prepared not only to go into law but also advertising, entertainment, politics, screenwriting, acting, public relations, politics, journalism, and fundraising (among other fields). In addition to these careers, many English majors find the most meaningful expression of their interests in the field of education. A recent survey shows that 38% of English majors go on to work in public and private schools at the secondary level. However, 26% of English majors go into fields unrelated to education. Such numbers are testament to the diversity of careers open to English majors and suggest that they are able to combine the study of a subject they genuinely enjoy with success in their careers.
