What kind of a job can you get with a Masters in Literature? Anything that pays well?
Asked by vanillaeclare
I will be graduating this year from Northwestern University with an MA in Literature. I'm hoping that I'll be able to land a job that pays well, but don't know where to look. I'd like to write, but not necessarily a novel or anything. Just looking for something interesting that pays well, has good benefits. I'd also like to teach. I just need some ideas, preferably if you have an MA in Lit and can tell me what your job is like.

Best Answer:
I have an M.A. in Litt, and I work for an e-learning firm as an Instructional Designer. It's kinda like being a teacher - only, you create content for courses that go online, and you never meet your students! It pays all right - I'm happy! I think there are many jobs out there for M.A. Litt people! As long as you don't confine yourself to thinking there's only so much you can do, the possibilities are limitless! Good luck!
