>>Is it possible for English majors to find good jobs outside of teaching??

It's not even possible for white males to find a good job in teaching, especially if they really want to teach English the old school way, instead of being full of radical Leftist nonsense. I've got an acquaitence who got his English PhD, and has now realized that no one will hire a white male into any sort of tenure-track teaching position. Only womyn and radical minorities (think Ward Churchill, only real minorities) need apply. He's had some interesting comments on the Ward Churchill situation.

Based on this, is it any wonder many people can't write? The purpose of an English department no longer has anything to do with teaching writing and literature and such, it is to espouse Leftist drivel.

During college I took a handful of English courses, and all my profs/TA's were white, but they spouted leftist drivel as well. One teacher openly admitted to being a Christophobic Marxist. A few teachers heavily employed the "peer critique" method, which involved students reading and evaluating their classmates' work. Most of the writing I reviewed was appalling.
