I'm really not very ambitious. Just a decent job making enough where I can support myself. That isn't sales or customer service (I wouldn't be good at that). And I'm good to go.
I thought my college degree would help me, but it hasn't. I guess nobody needs an English major for anything.
It wouldn't be bad for a wife, but English majors have a hard time getting a job that comes with a W2 form. If you can find something to pay the bills while you go to grad school, you can do a few good combinations with a B.A. in English. For instance, a master's in library science would allow you to become manager of a library. I don't know whether that position would appeal to you, but it's a solid job. You could get a law degree and become a lawyer. It's not an honest living, but the money is good. Either of those positions might allow you to become involved in politics if you want to put your political views into action. If you earned a Ph.D. in History, you could teach and write history at the college level. Our universities could use more conservative professors in History and similar subjects. I don't know you well enough to offer advice, but those possibilities came to mind when you mentioned the English degree.
