A Midsummer castmate shared a link to this online memorization tool. I’ve been using it for a half hour. It really helps.

The top occupations for English-degree holders ages 27 to 66 are elementary and middle school teachers, postsecondary teachers, and lawyers, judges, magistrates and other judicial workers. Indeed, English majors, who go…
