Practice this line, "you want fries with that?"
Old joke, I know...
truthfully, these kinds of degrees look seemingly peripheral for today's job markets, but, if one continues to utilize the education, it can promote a diverse and well-rounded individual for just about any career. It takes a bit of patience and self trust. Being an English Major means one has had to read copious subjects and distill many varied ideas and concepts. This ability can be translated to many other disciplines. Hold your head high - you'll find something that will grab your interest, and it will lead to the next thing.

You're looking through the wrong end of the telescope. Look at all the possible careers you might go in for which call for a non-specific university education and then see which one you might like to embark on. It will probably mean obtaining a postgraduate qualification or going through a graduate training scheme, but that's a small price to pay for the career you choose. Don't make the mistake of looking at what careers you can cram into your English qualification. Look at how your qualification can be of use in the career of your choice!

or u can have an administrative job in some firm (even newspaper) where english knowldege is a must, like an assistant secretary (then u will have to improve ur computer skills)

Become a teacher, a speeach therapist, work at Starbucks, write a book.
You can't really do to much with a BA but if you got a MA or a PhD you can do so much more.

Matter of happenstance sometimes. You could settle for English teacher. But I happened into technical writer and then gradually became a systems programmer.

You can continue with the study and get a Master and go back to your highschool to teach English. That's about it.

I would say teach English, write, or take further courses to become a publisher.
