Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I'm currently in my third year of a four year degree - English Literature and an MFL at a Russell Group university.
I've never been 100% certain about my career path, but generally speaking, I've always thought I'd become a teacher. (Most likely primary, but I've also considered teaching English at a secondary school). I love kids, love 'making a difference' etc. Essentially, the 'idea' of teaching seems perfect... but I am aware of the reality. I know it's an incredibly demanding career, and teachers I know in RL don't recommend it.
With that in mind, I'm desperately trying to think of other career options. I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise me on paths suitable for Arts graduates - publishing? Copy editing? I'm feeling open-minded and would love to hear about anything and everything.
As a bit of background info, my interests/work experience etc include writing, social media, working with young people and charity work. I'm very empathetic, and I like things to be organised.
I don't have many people I can speak to about this in RL, so I'd really appreciate any advice/thoughts you have on teaching, or possible alternatives. TIA.
