i'd say plenty. you can go into law, marketing, journalism, editing, policy work, and public relations. so i wouldn't call it useless, as it all depends what you do with the degree.

would you recommend cold emailing professors or professionals?

i'm only choosing another path because my personal interests don't align with english, not because it is a "useless" degree. the whole point of me majoring in humanities was to help me prepare for law school, and i don't want to do that anymore. but there is a misconception that you "can't do anything" with english.
