How sad. Nobody studies English Literature to make a lot of money.
Seems like Universities (and schools) might be the place to find a job in English Literature. Although those jobs are probably not plentiful. Otherwise, there is little demand for it out in the working world. Other than, a bullet on your resume that you have a degree in English Literature, it may not improve your job prospects.
Back in the day, maybe 40-50 years ago, having a degree in “anything” (English Lit, History, etc.) meant a job (and job security) in an unrelated field. Not any longer.
