Fuck. Help me with life.

Okay, I know the chances of getting serious replies and advice are slim here but i'll try anyway. After graduating with a major in English last year i've not been able to find a permanent job, and i'm just not doing well, financially. I live in a small town. Should I get a masters degree in something practical so I can get into investment banking or similar (even though my passion is writing)? Should I move to a big city and live paycheck to paycheck working shitkicker jobs while I figure out options? I don't really know what to do.

Think about getting a job as a technical writer. I hear demand is high for them.

Try teaching.  Isn't that the main occupation for English grads?

Try becoming an investment banker

Try becoming.

teach english in 1st world countries that don't really know how to speak english. or has it as a secondary language. you'll get rich quickly

Thanks /lounge/ers. I did actually consider investment banking but it's not something you can just drop into.. maybe i'll just take up some shitty job while working on my writing career :(

You should do something that gives you lots of money then you will be able to do stuff

win is win.

Why did you think you'd need a degree in order to write?  Do words glow visually or emit a particular frequency of radiation when written by a holder of a literate degree?

MY partner has an English Degree, aand couldnt get a good job for a long time after graduating. She know works in advertising and loves it.. Maybe?

Advertising can be like a kind of showbiz where you actually have a job instead of like in real showbiz where you are a waiter trying to get into showbiz, so advertising can be a fine way to have a living.

you don't need one but it certainly helped, and i don't regret the education i gained from it.
