[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was an English major. Thinking that an English major = jobs on media/publishing is a fantasy, unless there are family connections/trust funds. Your daughter is competing with students who majored in media/communications, and were hustling for internships and coops since freshman year. Many did communications internships for their university during the school year, possibly even for credit (so while taking fewer classes). They are graduating with meaningful experience in their resumes. Just because your daughter rocks at dissecting metaphors doesn’t mean she’s bound to snag a job at Condé Nast. I don’t love how pre-professional college has become, BUT students need to work on resume building during college. This what what the successful job applicants are doing, and they are her competition.[/quote]
