What Can You Do With A B.A. in English? (part deux)

You know, no one ever told me what I could do with my major besides teach or profess (that is, become a professor) when I got out of college.  And even though I graduated with an English degree, I’m still not certain what I can do with my degree.

Corogenes For VP 2012

Thanks to Adam Brickley, I now know the power of blogging for politics.  If he can get Sarah Palin to be the Vice President Nominee for the Republican Party, I can get Corogenes (the Obama intern) drafted for 2012.

Why My Graduation Kicked Your Graduation’s Monkey Butt

I received a mass e-mail from my step mom congratulating both my sister and I on our graduations this week.  Mine from college.  Hers from preschool.
