		<description>@ Horatio. 

You are incredibly ignorant. Apparently you have had such an isolated academic experience to provide you with the inaccurate and highly naive perception that &quot;all you need to go into English is an interest&quot;. 

I would rather hire an English major who is smart enough to learn the math concept than a physics major who can&#039;t speak without awkwardly staring at his feet. The mathematics-minded people should be shut up in a lab while the English major secures the deal and charms the client. 

You are as expendable as an outdated tech device. I cant wait for your undergrad vocational training to be rendered irrelevant within the decade. The ability to persuade, manipulate, read critically, write intellectually transcends time. The rush to get a &quot;sexy&quot; job immediately after undergrad is the short-sighted fodder of fools (named Horatio).</description>

		<description>Just because you don&#039;t know what you want to do, don&#039;t blame it on your degree. You clearly weren&#039;t applying for the sexiest jobs (i-banking, consulting), because you&#039;re complaining about this now and not 4 months ago.

If it&#039;s any consolation though, I&#039;m Econ + Finance and have not been happy with my academic experience. I&#039;m sure yours was better, and that eventually, you will land on your feet.</description>

		<description>@Physics &#039;10: Well, it&#039;s easier for us mathematical types to get jobs or go to grad school, since fields like physics require more than just an interest to get into. I&#039;m not entirely justifying above English major&#039;s despair, but their career path is less solid than the obvious options for physicists, e.g. scientific research or finance. That said, it&#039;s not like English majors don&#039;t get jobs at all, so I agree with you there.</description>

		<description>Exactly. Obs OP is either being super picky or did something ELSE wrong because I know plenty of English majors with jobs, and some are even super sweet finance/advertising/consulting jobs. Don&#039;t blame the major.</description>

		<description>OK, I seriously don&#039;t get it. Are English majors really that unemployable? What types of jobs are you even looking for? Surely you&#039;ve picked up *SOME* useful skills in your life. Can you not get any jobs at all, or just not the super sweet ones that you want, and you refuse to take any other type?</description>

There&#039;s more than one letter. Some English major you are.</description>
