We tell stories to define ourselves and connect to others, and we read, watch and listen to stories for enjoyment and education. We use storytelling in business, teaching, law, advocacy and more. There&amp;rsquo;ve never been more career opportunities for wordsmiths and editors with a grasp of language and a flair for the written word.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the next decade, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment opportunities will increase by 5% for writers and authors, and 4% for technical writers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, professionals in all positions and industries communicate constantly, and through multiple mediums. The words we choose and how we share them contribute to our successes and everyday tasks alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By design, an English major equips you with qualities and practical skills the modern workplace demands, including:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Analytical thinking and problem-solving&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sharp research and evaluation skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Creativity and imagination&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Empathy and self-awareness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A degree in English also offers excellent preparation for law school and graduate programs.&lt;/p&gt;</BodyCopy>
