You're not getting it. No specific degree is needed for any job unless it's vocational like medicine or law. But most jobs require you to have a degree, in any subject, to be considered. The argument is that an English degree makes you a better human being, and better at doing *some* jobs which require imagination, logical thought, argumentation, textual analysis, research. Not that unlocks career paths other degrees might not.
