I don’t hear much about english majors at Duke. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks
My roommate was an English major. She’s now happily starting a job in publishing in NYC. Do you have any specific questions?
@mecsquared I apologize if I end up responding twice. My first response seems to have deleted.
Was she able to find sufficient internships as an English major? We they all unpaid or was she able to find paid internships as well?
I will assume that you are asking about specific English-related internships. I can’t speak to much outside of publishing since I’ve only watched my roommate apply to those. She was able to find paid jobs on campus related to English, but summer internships were all unpaid unfortunately. Publishing is a field where you have to know people and make connections, so all the unpaid internships will help make the right connections to eventually get a paid job, but it’s hard financially in the interim.
