Do you think a comparative literature degree is not as valuable as an English Lit. degree?

<p>People tend to think that comparative literature graduades are not in demand compared to English lit. graduates?</p>

<p>Are either in demand?</p>

<p>Well basically in the program Comp Lit is more marketable than english in certain cases. In Comp lit you obtain literary fluency in at least 3 but sometimes 4 or 5 other languages than english; this would be fairly useful in an international business company or in dealing with international relations related fields. While in english you learn how to direct pieces of literature and how to command the language in a more academic manner thus proving more valuable in Law or in Writing jobs. Both have their ups and downs, but the question is do you want to read English or do you want to learn and compare the arts and texts from other cultures in the original language? I hope I helped I am here if you have more questions. </p>
