I have a degree in English, and I work as a copyeditor/proofreader. I went into college thinking I wanted a journalism degree, but all the classes looked really boring, so I never even started. I realized I wanted to do editing about halfway through school. I'm about the only one of my friends who's using her undergraduate degree for what she planned, but I don't think anyone's unhappy that they have it. A good education is worth a lot.
