Question for English Lit uni students - dream job?

For all those English Lit uni students out there, I'm just wondering: what are you all hoping to become?

(I'm asking as someone who wants to do English Lit for uni but doesn't know what to do for a job after that)

Originally I wanted to do english lit in uni as i prefer it over language, but it makes career opportunities quite limited. So now i’m going to study english lit and lang then do teacher training to become a teacher!
I'm just a few weeks into my course so I'm not completely sure yet, but I love the idea of becoming an academic/non-fiction writer!
Hi! Just seeing this: I'm trying to break into the publishing industry. You can also do something in media :smile:

I'd love to lecture in English and/or go into academia, getting stuff published! But also considering secondary school teaching.
