Many students wonder what kinds of working lives are available to English majors. This section of our site offers information that may help such students imagine jobs and careers available to English majors. As you will see, English majors enter the professions you might expect (teaching, publishing, editing) as well as all the professions and many careers generated by the creativity and initiative of individual alumni/ae.
The materials in this section (aside from those about graduate school) include information gathered by Grinnell's Career Development Office in the past.
