I need help looking for a job. (According to my major)

[One-Way]

Seeing how I want to find a new job, I need some help.

A lot of people I know are looking for jobs according to their majors. Friends that are trying to become lawyers are trying to get intern positions at firms, and so on. So, if I want to major in English, where would I look to? Trying to find an intern position at, let's say, LA Times? Do they even have something like that? Blah.

English? I don't know how much one can do with such a useless major (nothing intended against your choice, I just happen to think it has no utility, just like major history) except for trying to be a tutor or a student aid or something at school.

By the way, anyone who majors in liberal arts = for the most part working at Starbucks.

Can't you become an Advertising Copywriter, Computer Instructional Designer, Corporate Communications Specialist, Editorial Assistant, Film Researcher/Copywriter, Policy and Producer Analyst, Publications Researcher, and so on, with an English major?

You can also go take the MCAT and go to medical school with an English major. A liberal arts major as anon said is fairly useless by itself. So you go do an internship for the kind of career you would like to pursue and don't limit yourself to your "major".

Medical school with an English major? How does that work, what would I be doing? And I know now to limit myself to my major. I have a lot of other things I'm good at doing, which I do now, and bring me in money. I mean, when I'm older, I'll be doing it differently, of course, but a major is just that, a major. I have a bunch of other talents I'm putting into use, I'll be doing a couple things at once.

USA isn't considered an English speaking country?
