If you don’t want Journalism but still want to write, take a look into creative writing programs. There isn’t much you can do with the degree (I’m speaking from personal experience on that one) but it helps out your writing skills in other areas which is always worth while.

Writing and editing for magazines or newspapers often requires a Journalism degree as does work in broadcast or radio. And writing itself is a very competitive, talent-based field where most writers have second jobs to get by.

I suggest you research careers in English and consider what interests you. It will help a lot more than what others here can tell you.

EDIT:

Nice. You pea-brains give me a thumbs down for being honest.

English teaches you to write well, and to comprehend well. It also shows you how to approach symbolism, and to use metaphors and analogies to help others understand complex ideas.

GREAT careers that use skills like these are: Marketing, advertising, political activism (speech writing, and policy development), and — in my case — human resources / organization development and internal communication. All businesses need people who know how to write — and, believe me, not many young people entering the workforce today can write very well at all!

I majored in English because I loved to read; I came away with a greater appreciation of poetry, theatre, and social commentary. 25 years later, I am very glad about my English degree!

you can also become an editor, or even go into the publishing business if you get enough experience in that field.

you can also get into Lit. analysis or writing major publications for non-literature companies (writing instruction manuels or software explanations) if you understand the technology.

I have an English degree. I write training materials and am working on a novel.
