So, you\u2019re great at writing an 8-page research paper in under 24 hours. You\u2019re able to finish an entire novel within a night and be ready for a class discussion the next morning. You can relate centuries old rhetorical arguments to modern-day marketing efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n

The question you ask yourself daily: \u201cWhat am I even going to do with this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019re going to remind you of three things: <\/span><\/p>\n

You have skills.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

You\u2019ve more than likely heard the timeless question: \u201cWhat are you going to do with an <\/span>English degree<\/span><\/i>?\u201d (Another form of this question: \u201cAre you going to teach\/be an author, or\u2026?\u201d) This has cropped up multiple instances throughout your college career: a family reunion, a work meeting, an organization event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You blush, or maybe you get annoyed. <\/span>It\u2019s literally <\/span><\/i>always <\/span>the same question,<\/span><\/i> you say to yourself. You have to politely explain that, no, you aren\u2019t going to teach. No, you aren\u2019t going to write novels. And, yeah, you might do something like *insert your goal career here*.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You all laugh at the word \u201cmight,\u201d talk about the other person\u2019s glory days in college, and finish your conversation like it isn\u2019t a big deal. But their question(s) still weigh on your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to be a teacher, that\u2019s awesome! If you want to be an author, yay! The world definitely needs more authors and teachers. We need writers\u2019 perspectives on the things going on in this world. We need teachers to teach these topics to their students. These careers are important.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you that aren\u2019t sure of what you\u2019re going to do after school, you still have skills you can use. Ethan, an English Department alum, wrote a great <\/span>blog post<\/span> about how studying something he loved – literature and writing – taught him skills that he\u2019s used in other jobs (and hint: it wasn\u2019t just reading and writing papers). Even <\/span>Sarah\u2019s guest post<\/span> (another alumni of the Department) had something to say about the transferable skills her English degree has given her.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is that the English department isn\u2019t just here to teach you how to read and write.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

When you do a workshop for a research paper, it teaches you how to think critically about information being presented to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you write a five-page persuasive essay, you learn how to communicate your thoughts and ideas in a clear and concise manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you read a century-old text from another continent, you learn more about the world around you – which definitely helps your writing skills, but it also helps you relate to other topics that you\u2019ve never been introduced to before. It also helps you relate to other people in a way that you may not have before.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have skills, English majors. Own them and use them.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have opportunities & resources.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

You\u2019ve realized that you have skills. So now, you just have to realize that you have the chance to learn how you want to use those skills. This brings up the idea of internships (or immersive learning projects).\u00a0The English department has so many great opportunities for you. Luckily, we have a list for you here<\/a>, so be sure to check it out! <\/span><\/p>\n

“Internship” is a scary word. We know. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you aren\u2019t sure about what you want to do, these are going to be a great way to figure out. And even if you don\u2019t know what you want to do after an internship or two, these will give you some experience that employers are going to <\/span>love<\/span><\/i>. It\u2019ll also definitely open up some doors. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t sure how to go about getting an internship, start by searching some catalogs. We conveniently have one on our department blog <\/span>here<\/span> specifically for internships, and you can also check out the Career Center\u2019s <\/span>Cardinal Career Link<\/span><\/a>. There’s also a Stars to Steer By Facebook page for extra support and opportunities here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should also watch your email for any immersive learning classes or internships. We send you a Weekly Newsletter that not only has a list of all of all of the internships you\u2019d be interested in, but it also has a lot of other great information in it as well! You also get lists coming from various places announcing openings of new immersive learning opportunities! Jessie Fudge, who graduated in 2014, actually landed an internship at the <\/span>Indianapolis Monthly <\/span><\/i><\/a>magazine by answering an email announcement! Read her experience <\/span>here<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also Career Fairs every semester that we encourage everyone to go to, regardless of year. These will be a great way to network, or even just to see what\u2019s out there. There are nonprofits and for-profits from all over the country. You are able to see all of the companies coming to the Career Fair at the Cardinal Career Link! There’s also an app that keeps you updated all semester long. The Career Center throws three Career Fairs every year: two Cardinal Career Fairs (one in the Fall, and one in the Spring), and a Teachers\u2019 Career Fair (which would be phenomenal for you English Education majors, as well as those of you contemplating teaching). <\/span><\/p>\n

So if you really aren\u2019t sure about life after school, check out these opportunities. They\u2019re free. <\/span><\/p>\n

You have options.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Your experiences in the English department will give you skills that you can use in various fields (seriously, read <\/span>Ethan\u2019s <\/span>and <\/span>Sarah\u2019s <\/span>posts; they\u2019re awesome). These skills will make you more qualified for many different paths. This will, hopefully, be invaluable to you in your future career. <\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be a writer. You don\u2019t have to be a teacher. Those questions from people that likely hardly know you <\/span>do not<\/span><\/i> define you, or your future career. There are many <\/span>careers<\/span><\/a>, like non-profit work and web copywriting! Maybe you don\u2019t have a set path, English majors, but you <\/span>do <\/span><\/i>have an empty board, and you have the ability to write whatever you want on that board.<\/span><\/p>\n
