What
to do With this Major
This link connects majors with careers. (Prepared by
the Career Planning staff of Career Services at University of Tennesse.)
Ericka says teaching is much more than an 8 a.m. 2 p.m. job because teachers
must take into account time for preparation, after school activities, one-on-one
work with students, and the hours spent brushing up on the ever-changing
demands of education. She teaches five 43-minute classes a day, with a block
devoted to preparation time. After school, she serves as the moderator for
the school newsletter and co-chairs the committee for the upcoming reaccreditation.
Marybeth Keniston '06 English intern
As an intern in the marketing and public relations department at Saint
Joseph's College, English major Marybeth Keniston proofread material for
the Saint Joseph's College website and magazine. She also interviewed
professors, current students and graduates of Saint Joseph's for new information
to put on the school's website and for an article which appeared in the
magazine.
“Interning with the marketing and public relations department allowed
me to see that there are jobs available for English majors who are not
necessarily interested in teaching,” says
Marybeth. She feels the internship not only helped her develop her writing
skills but also her communication skills, which are a necessity in any
career field.
