Those of us who major in English know going in that we cannot expect to make much money unless we really work towards that end. However, once I finish my education and choose my career path in education, I have the ability to make good money--if I choose to become a counselor or administrator. I'd think I'd rather take the pay hit and stay in the classroom, thank you very much.
English actually can lead to a lot of careers that pay a good wage: publishing, law, technical writing, copyediting, journalism. Never underestimate the value of being able to write and speak well. They are very valuable skills in today's job market.
