<p>These are all things that will help you once you are in a career but probably will not help you get your foot in the door. If you use internships wisely during college and build a strong network from professors, TAs, recruiters and other students, you will be fine. If you just blindly follow the coursework requirements like so many of my friends that have majored in English, you will find yourself deep in waiting tables for several years after college (4 and counting).</p>
<p>BTW, many of the suggestions in the link provided by IBclass were very optimistic. For many of those positions listed, employers will take somebody with experience in that particular area and have them do the writing rather than train someone who is good at writing in all the things particular to that field.</p>
