There have been several postings in the past by frustrated job seekers with a Bachelor’s Degree in English. Several of those posts have been by me, though not all of them. If there’s anything that the English major has taught us it’s angst. We know that we are more than capable of anything that we attempt but we, unlike an accounting major or an engineering major, were not given a clear path. Our path is obscure and frought with difficulties. However, we also tend to be optimistic about that path, Robert Frost has led us all to believe that the road not taken is the most rewarding once we’ve reached our destination. We’ve started on this path but we’ve reached an impass. Where do we go from here?
