[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a communications director at a large university. I didn't expect a degree to get me a job. I hustled and was the managing editor of my student paper and wrote freelance articles for magazines, wire services and newspapers while in college. I got a newspaper fellowship and apent a summer working for a major paper. When I got to DC, I got a job as the assistant editor of an alumni magazine based on the quality of my writing clips. I continued to freelance and to tutor in English to save money. Working at a university, I got tuition benefit for my master's degree. I stayed in universities, but did not stagnate in one job; I moved through units and changed institutions when I needed to. I never thought for one minute that degree = job. I have always made it about gaining experience after experience and making connections. [/quote] What an unimaginative and self-congratulatory approach to career path with an English degree. [/quote]
