Degrees and other work.

I'm currently working on an English degree, and I doubt that'll ever change. My dream career is working as an English teacher in a foreign Asian country. I already have a few openings and potential employers for that actually because I've gone out and talked to some organizations already, despite still being a student.

But aside from that, I have two other options:
--Get a minor in law or Asian studies or other language classes so I can safely assume the title for legal negotiations between countries. Trade deals, international law, it's up there and there's quite a bit of demand for it as they don't just hire one person, they hire teams.
--Start writing shit. I started freelance writing and although my prices are currently dirt cheap, I can start working them upwards now as I'm building a decent reputation and my portfolio grows every day.

Either way, there's quite a lot of misconception that English graduates/undergrads don't get jobs, when it may be the only arts program that ever does get a job.
--marketing teams
--legal teams (lots of writing they don't want to do)
--businesses (again, lost of writeups)
--teaching (admittedly difficult, that's why I want to go to different countries.)
--freelancing (lots of copywriting jobs out there, I already got myself a few gigs that'll return a few hundred bucks for fuckall work)

I'm planning on doing a minor one way or another, which will also open up a bunch more jobs, like support teams or whatever.

What degrees are you working on and why? What kind of career are you working towards? I'd imagine there are lots of science/engineering kids, as like over half the kids in my uni are taking those kinds of courses.
