When I grow up

Careers in virtually all academic disciplines are fostered by being a superstar who knows more about one subject than anyone else in the world.
Philip Zimbardo

so true.

I've been thinking quite a bit about my future career, toting around my degree in English. Here are my options.

Option A:
Professor

Pros: Summer Vacation
Cons: More schooling

Option B:
Librarian

Pros: Surround by books
Cons: More schooling

Option C:
English Teacher @ High School

Pros: Summer Vacation
Cons: Lack of pay, bratty kids

Option D:
Bum

Pros: Doing nothing
Cons: Lack of pay

Ideas anyone?

Option A! What could be better than more schooling!

Just be sure to study at a place where they need Teaching Assistants to teach English Comp, and so they pay you to study there. (Or at least give you tuition.)

Librarian wouldn't be bad, though.

Especially a tech-savvy librarian -- all the more sought-after.

High school teaching could then stay option C. But Lord knows they need good teachers.
