[quote=Anonymous]I am an English major from the 90's and have a career in sales. I am one of the few sales people who can actually punctuate. You can take an English degree and do anything you want with it. I parlayed my critical thinking skills from being an English major into sales. For example, why does the protagonist in the book that we just in class read do this or that? What is the underlying motive, what are the implications of the protagonist's action, etc. In my profession, I'm using the same line of questioning (different questions obviously) and the same critical thinking skills that I developed in college to understand why people do things, what their motivations are, and how to articulate a case for the solution that I am selling (much of which is in written format via email). The world is your oyster as an English major. [/quote]
