After today’s event, hearing all the experiences and journeys of those who have kicked off their diverse careers with an english major, it kind of makes you see this particular major with a more expanded venue. I heard many self-expectations from these successful individuals which fell through from an english major, then led to jobs that they thought were out of their sight. There was a man who spoke about how his english major which helped him interact solely with a doorman position, by helping him in every aspect of that job. Later on he spoke on a note of how he accelerated higher as a business advisor for lagcc and even higher into a six figure salary job, but then he later on decided on following his passion in teaching which he currently teaches as an adjunct here at lagcc. There were other interesting stories such as a young man who transformed his english major into suiting a law career as a public defender which all in all is a very distant but interactive setting. Nevertheless, with an english major you can integrate it into almost every corner of careers, when its look at this way. With that aside it is also a major that teaches you how to communicate, speak, write, and elaborate on critical thinking to suit any aspect an english major student would stumble upon. There’s also a lot more behind the curtain, as entertainment goes as well as self-expansion in interest, because reading itself is a wonder in which depending on the book a reader can disappear into a state of trance or sense in which you have some sort of one on one feeling or connection as you read such a provocative book. Closing off with the main topic on how applying these “english major” skills becomes the revolving subject which plays as the key factor in being successful with this specific major. Overall, being there for this event opened my insights on the distension of an english major, because some look at it as just a major to teach or write, but truth is the fact of how applicable these skills can be as well as getting stretched into suiting your situation, which has all made the major seem more enterprising.
