Reply to comment by Large_Corgi1 in [OC] Undergraduate Degrees and their Respective Increases in Employment Rates & Salaries by icywatermelons

No field of work is immune to over saturation. My father went to school in the 60s/70s when everyone wanted to be an engineer. Many of those guys couldn’t get jobs when they got out. We’ve been pushing STEM so hard the past decade or so, and laughing at anyone who even looks at liberal arts… I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an increase in unemployed STEM majors and an increased need for non STEM majors in coming years.

What possible need does the world have for English Majors? I ask, because I was one. (I’m in sales now).

Depends on your passion. If you have a passion for technology, you could use that as a basis for technical writing. Maybe your passion lies more in helping make writing better, then maybe an editor role is what you should be looking to do. At the end of the day, there's plenty of work that are applicable, just not a 1:1 fit.
