[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question.. for people who major in English Lit.. what job were you thinking you'd get out of school? And did you look at how much that job would pay when you were, say, a Junior in college to know what to expect?[/quote] I think the more honest question is did english lit grads understand how much where you go matters when you major in it? Public Ivy certainly is not enough. You need to go to HYPSM or at a push williams or amherst because you can access consulting or IB recruiting (the two largest pipelines for 'soft majors' that lead to six figures quickly). Granted English majors that go that route, usually hate themselves after their 2 year stints in consulting or finance, but atleast you have that on your resume which has exist ops to virtually any 'cool' industry you can think of (not to mention the nice financial cushion you save up if you manage your money well).
