[quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me think about my own qualifications and job. I did poli sci and IR double major at a local univ and worked on the Hill and now am at an agency. In some sense, the degree got me the direct experience I could put on a resume. But what really made me able to do the job was being organized, writing well, and being a capable generalist. In a lot of jobs it looks like an English degree qualifies you as a generalist who makes a specific claim of being able to write well. If you can prove you are relatively mature and poised and all that, it seems like an English degree is just fine as an attestation of job readiness.[/quote]
