not, graduating with an English degree may be more beneficial than

you think!

Jim is my UMass Mentor. The following slides consist of a few questions I recently asked him about how an English degree “translates” in the real world. His responses are

both optimistic and helpful for any English major.

My name is Richie Pace

• I’m a Junior, majoring in English at UMass Amherst

• My dream is to be a high school English teacher, own a

beekeeping apiary, and also own a music venue

• I believe that an English degree makes perfect sense for people who are passionate about many

different things, like myself• If you ever want or need to talk to a fellow English major I would

be happy to answer any questions you have. You can

reach me at rpace@student.umass.edu

• I hope this PowerPoint made you feel better about the choice of becoming an English major!
