If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Education pathway may be your route to a great career. An English degree can be a first step toward teaching at the high school or college level. As an academic advisor, student success coach, or admissions counselor, you can use your written and oral communication skills to help students thrive from the moment they step on campus. Love books? Working as a librarian lets you pair your love of reading with research, information design, and community engagement.
