I doubt if you read English and Literary Studies well. If you truly did, you would know that graduates of English have a space in every company, firm, bureau, parastatal, etc, that you can think of. So employees need not ask you what you can offer, your resume says it all.

Instead of pursuing phantom certifications that have no bearing with what you read, try and better yourself. Package your resume and apply for jobs as a PR officer, Editor, Speech Writer, OAP, Magazine or Newspaper Journalist, ESL or EFL teacher, etc. Apply to the right firms and you will make it.

Infact, the money I make on Fiverr doing the above I listed per gig is far more than what many of the critics here make in a YEAR. Everyone has to discover themselves, create a niche and make it.

Mind you, I'm also a freelance Web Designer, Graphic Designer, and Code Debugger, Code Editor, etc. And I didn't need to leave my field to make some extra bucks from the above named skills. My exposure to English syntax made programming and coding very easy to catch up on. Most times, I edit the English content in an already written code while I also edit and debug the code itself. You should know what what means in terms of pay.

So stop putting down your discipline if you truly studied English and have a passion for it because I know 60% of English graduates read English because they felt they had no other choice. Many don't even like the course enough to make a living out of it. Unfortunately, we have many dispassionate holders of a pass, third class or a 2.2 grade degree in English. I hope you are not one.

@fratermathy I would love to send you an email sir.... please accept my mail request.
Thanks.

Hello.
Do u know how one can get employed in a radio?

Hmm.. Where do we start from.. Okay. I am also an English-Lang graduate, though a recent one from OAU.If you are creative though, you could seriously make it as a writer,Journalist, presenter, OAP and, blogger (in the case of a blogger, you should be familiar with a wide range of issues and not be limited to a particular niche)or you could diversify into other totally different terrains away from your course of study. To me, It is definitely hopeless to further in the course except you are gunning for a PhD .

Well,for those with the mindset of English studies as a road map to primary and secondary school teaching, it gladdens me to inform you that it's all heresay. If indeed you studied or currently studying the course, then you would have realized by now that it's a whole new world and different experience especially when you get to your Part 3.There,you start undergoing gruesome training in fields such as Sociolinguistics, Pyscholinguistics,Multilingualism, Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, History of the English language etc. At that point in time, you would question the stereotype attached to the course concerning teaching .

Conversely, you are trained to be a universal being, with range of other Faculty courses such as Philosophy, Dramatic/theater Arts, History, foreign languages and lots more. You are expected to be unique, creative and different from your peers from other spheres of Discipline. While others think ofmagnanimousn ambiguous and intimidating CV, you should learn to create an ambiguous and intimidating YOU. No company or Organization wants to see your CV as an English graduate because they don't need it. What they want is what you can offer them .You could start your little company on anything be it publishing, entertainment,media and communications,etc.

Furthermore, alot of graduates often complain about not getting that preferred colar job while their friends are getting them in double. They have failed to realise that they have been destined not to have an office because the World itself is your office. You were trained not to become an engineer, medical Doctor, Lawyer but a creative thinker, a forged Skeptic and rationalist and ,a universal analyst equipped with the linguistic skills to unravel and conjure.In other words you need to be creative. Search deeper within yourself and start to think.

Finally friend, what you have in hand right now, is worth more that a handful of diamonds. The course you despise now is the knowledge alot of people are yearning for. Don't you realise right now that a lot of the so-called "Creative writters" in the industry now, are mainly Lawyers and experts from other fields of life.They have discovered too late the essence of creative writing and they try foolishly to quicky do a surface learning of what took you years and numerous semesters to learn. They all want to be like you and envy you because they realize that they would never get the type of your knowledge when it comes to matters relating to creativity within the arts and humanities.
