What are some disadvantages of the English majors?
The biggest disadvantage English Majors have is getting a job after college. The main uses of majoring in English are teaching English in high school or going on to Law School. At one time English Majors could get jobs as reporters. Those jobs are vanishing. Engineering jobs go to engineering school graduates. Jobs in business go to people who majored in business. It is harder to get a job with a degree in English. You do not have a specialty. All you have for a potential employer is the proof that you have good work habits and some brains.
