Final Year electives can give you the tools you need to be a Marxist overlord from your state funded dacha:
—Changing Lives: Literature And Social Movements
—Counter-Culture And Creativity
—Life On Earth: Writing And Environment
—Revealing Gender
—Writing For Change: Writing And Advocacy
As far as life skills go, English Lit was the most worthless college course I ever took outside of having inane social conversations here and there over the years.
