   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) rkcraig88 | Jul 15, 2019 |   ) jen.e.moore | Dec 29, 2015 | Students graduating with or even considering English as a major should consider reading this book. Lemire provides a thorough, realistic and knowledgeable guide to breaking down the worth and potential of English as a college major. Lemire begins with a calming tone, assuring the reader that there is no need to panic- English majors *do* have great skills and versatility, and you can do something other than just teaching English with your degree. In fact, you can do much more, particularly if you take a step back to recognize which skills you've gained from your education and those you've gained from practical experience. Lemire himself graduated with an English degree, and with his experience in a variety of fields, he discusses (with elegant prose) these various fields (from corporate life to journalism to, yes, teaching English). MountHolyoke | Sep 17, 2012 | I think the best chapter comes toward the end, when Lemire describes the faults in our current higher education system. He argues that since most English majors don't go on to higher education in English literature, college programs should offer a wider variety of classes, such as business writing, journalism, proofreading, and editing. While literary criticism is the foundation of the English major, a few practical classes would definitely make English majors more desirable and effective employees.
