      finding a job is going to be hard af unless you go to syria, iraq, palestine. I did sociology and biology..sociology is useless unless you go to those countries, which as a small woman I didn't really want to. But if you do then youre pretty set.

      Cami Castaneda I'm actually Middle Eastern, so I would love to one day go as I probably get older, which for me isn't seen as risky I guess because I know the culture pretty well (although I am Yemeni- which I can also go to). But as of right now I'm really interested in the research part of it, or becoming a professor. I just don't know if I'll continue grad school with English or Soc

    • @camic7324
      @camic7324 7 лет назад

      To become a professor you have to write a book. Basically all universities will not hire you even as an adjunct if you aren't published. To write a book you have to go to a high need country, like the ones I mentioned, since those are the only ones they are giving grants for. The other option is working with data. Which I did for a bit right after I graduated since a professor offered it to me and it paid decent--- I wanted to kill someone at the end of the day it was painstaking and boring and your eyes hurt from looking a census data and excel sheets. BUT some people like this or at least accept it as their life profession and eventually the salary gets better. I'm just letting you know of MY experience.

    • @camic7324
      @camic7324 7 лет назад

      The bad thing is the becoming a professor is hard. Even with the book published they might only hire you as an adjunct which makes about as much as a grade school teacher and the job isn't secure. Meaning if not enough students are in the school or willing to take the class they shut it down. One professor also told me they will also screw you over because instead of splitting your classes into two they'll just put you in an auditorium and pay you less. IF you get a full time offer than its pretty sweet but before it apparently blows.

      @chunkymonkey9097 7 лет назад

      Cami Castaneda do you live in the US? I know you have to be published but from what I understood it wasn't necessarily a Book. And I know that either way I go I want to work with publishing somehow, either behind the scenes or getting my own thing published. Also it isn't that hard to get something published that's from the US. My sister and her friend completed a study that was local to our county. I'm also more interested in qualitative research, although I know all of than can be a pain as well!

    Library Work is another one for English. You can actually Major in anything as long as your Masters is in Library Science but I just think it looks better to potential Masters Programs if your undergrad is at least in some way related to it.

    Hi I need some explaining on subjects that been on my mind
    I'm from iran and I want to study English literature in canada/usa/uk (since their main language is English so they will teach it the best way possible)
    My dream is to be a literature professor, to become someone who teaches English literature to people who are passionate as me (and along the way, maybe write a book!)
    *but*
    I'm scared, my grades are great and my family/relatives/friends wants me to go to medicine major because and I quote
    'You make lots of money and you don't have to worry about debts/losing job/living normal or poor life'
    I'm torn apart right now
    Between choosing *my passion* and *very good life*
    My family says: you can't make enough money or you can't find job in your country, other countries may suffer same issues as here!
    *I don't know what to do!*
    I love english, the structure of language, the amazing books
    But I'm scared shitless of not becoming a professor or finding a job at all!!
    P.s which countries are good for getting job as a graduate literature major (phd if becoming professor requires it)
    Canada? Usa? Uk? Switzerland? Or somewhere else???
