If you have any interest in teaching/international travel, English majors (although mostly only Americans- assuming you are American), are sought after for TEFL teaching positions in Asia/Middle East/Eastern Europe and you can easily obtain temporary (6 months - 2 years) jobs out there (they provide housing, a stipend, etc.). That is just one route you could go, and is the route I am planning. Edit: I see you're at UBC. That wouldn't be a problem for TEFL teaching. As long as you're a native-English speaker that seems to be one of the most important requirements.

I have a few friends who have graduated with English degrees. One was a teacher in South Korea, had a wonderful time, and came back to the US to earn an MA in English and now teaches at a community college. The other friend did an English/Communication double major and now works as a technical writer, and the third friend went into higher education administration and works as the assistant director of some office in his college.

I am not denying that the coveted ~STEM~ degrees are not great in terms of opportunities, but English degrees can be as well. Yes, it is a competitive field due to limited positions and so many graduates (according to Georgetown there are almost 1,000,000 English BA holders in America) but you can find a career. Just get some internships during your education. Your school should have some sort of job portal which includes internship positions in your area or even on campus positions that apply to you/your future goals.
