And an English degree is great for grad programs. It’s a wonderful degree for critical thinking, writing skills, etc.

The point of college (for any degree) is to further critical thinking skills. An English degree doesn't corner the market for "critical thinking" skills.


Why not? Doesn't written analysis require critical thinking?

what is $$$? Like, how much money are you talking?

Also, assuming you are talking BA. I know a couple who went and got JDs after getting English undergrad and work their asses off now as lawyers, making between $150 (govt) and more than $400 (private, partner).

Most get a masters.

Two friends who got masters: one is an editor and the other is a pastor.

Neither make much.
