Hmm.
I think all of the English Literature graduates I know are teachers, which you have excluded. Has she considered further study? A bachelor's degree doesn't get you much these days. What made her pick English Literature?

Other than that, I'd think twice about taking careers advice from someone whose career is giving people career advice. I doubt it's what the wanted to be when they grew up (though it appears that the money is alright). Flippancy aside, they do tend to gloss over the more interesting areas of employment.

A great many of the most successful (and happiest) people I know are working in areas in which they have an interest rather than the one they studied, which tends to be more of an indication to an employer that you're capable of doing some work. Anyway, you probably know all of this, being an old(er) person and ale drinker.

Any Avenue Q fans in?
