However, English majors are a dime a dozen... I don't mean to be rude, but most English majors share the same story of falling back to one of the easiest degrees to obtain because what they had in mind was too difficult for them. Most of them end up working retail or some other, non-professional job, although with slightly better opportunities for promotion. If you can afford to take out loans, I recommend immediately going to graduate school and getting a degree that won't be overlooked. While doing that, you could also build your resume doing freelance writing. If you leave it at just the English degree with no real work on your resume, it's going to be a steep, uphill battle.
Fresh English majors with no work experience will likely end up as a junior copywriter for a retailer. Most English majors I know try to freelance some stuff on the side to keep the income up. Entry level 35k... max maybe 65k

This is why I tell people who have a good understanding of languages and math to go for a computer science major... Entry level programmers can make around 50k and can max out well beyond 150k
