<p>No one can predict the future employment market. For better or for worse. So ultimately, you have to go with what you enjoy with some pragmatism thrown in. And ‘sufficient’ is a very personal value. Depends on the lifestyle you want/expect. </p>
<p>An English major gives you excellent writing skills so think pr, corporate comms, copy writing, journalism, publishing (as per avita01 above), local or fed government, politics.</p>
<p>With grad school you could do teaching, social work, speech therapy, tesol, law, educational admin, linguistics.</p>
<p>Then there’s all the jobs where your major doesn’t matter (so much)- law enforcement, military</p>
<p>Remember too that there are far more majors in social science subjects than you’ll have experienced in hs. Try and read a little bit about them and see what you think. Anthropology, psychology, philosophy, history, area studies e.g. Latin American Studies, Literature, Politics, International Relations, Languages, Linguistics, art history, archaelogy, classics, hr, business, advertising, journalism, religion etc</p>
