Lemire (skim Ch 2-7) -- Jerz: EL150 (Intro to Literary Study)
"...you should consider working in a bookstore or library."
Of course I love books, otherwise I would have never picked English Literature as my major. For about a year or two now, it has always been a dream of mine, and a big one at that, to own a bookstore. And if I were not able to accomplish this goal I do think I may end up working in a bookstore or a library because that is my passion. I honestly could spend all day in the a bookstore going through books. It would be the best job in my eyes!
I've always thought it sounded like a neat job, too, but I wonder if it isn't a waste of our degrees? I mean, you don't need a college degree to work in a bookstore, and having an English degree really won't help you learn how to market and sell books. So what good is it? Also, you need a specific degree to work in a library, which Seton Hill doesn't offer.
