I will say.....I actually have an English degree with a minor in journalism, and the one time I went out hunting for a job in another area, the interest I got was due to the English degree. The job offer I got - an entry level job at an airline - was because they felt the English degree, combined with journalism, meant that I could communicate clearly.
But...my teacher friend who complains about not getting paid enough earned more her first year of teaching - 40 years ago - than I made in my top earning year as an editor with a then-prosperous newspaper.
