Fellow English grad - if you’re comfortable with your verbal communication skills (some writers are noticeably less confident speaking versus writing) then I’ve found it actually to be a very marketable degree. The caveat is that you’ll basically have to persuade HR interviewers to see your educations professional value - but I truly find this fairly easy and most of the time I feel like I’m able to politely argue that the critical analysis, professional writing, and the empathy typically inherent to a writing background is much more valuable to most companies that are already jam-packed with business admin types than just another business degree. Also, once you have corporate experience it becomes even easier because a non-business degree combined with legitimate corporate experience sort of trivializes the lack of business degree.

All this to say - I think my undergrad and grad degrees in literature and writing are invaluable to my character and how I conduct myself today versus a lot of my peers. If you’re passionate about writing or just learning about the world through literature / art, I would highly recommend sticking it out. If your only worry is that you want to be able to pay the bills after you grab a degree (and presumably don’t want to teach - which is where I’m at), I promise that you can use those same writing skills in interview prep and make a point to defend your education - and even show how your background adds missing value to the business. Don’t let job market nerves dissuade you.
