Hi! I am a current college senior currently studying Communications, English, and Gender Studies. I have plenty of writing experience and am a big “people person” who loves engaging with others, reading, writing, editing, and participating in group discussions/public speaking. My career center keeps pushing me to pursue editing or publishing, and while I want to do those both as part of my job, I don’t want it to be the whole focus. I worry they are not going to be interactive/social enough because speaking is a significant strength of mine. I have always written for the school newspapers/literary magazines and have my own writing site, but solely writing as a career does not seem as appealing to me. I have been considered both English Education and Higher Education, but with so many teachers leaving the profession due to low pay and so little professor positions available, I am concerned. If anyone has insight or any information on this/what my next steps should be, I would greatly appreciate it! Or also, any other potential careers that came to mind while reading my post. Thanks so much.
