Q&A with Glen Chua
Have you considered going into other fields? What other fields do you think you are well-suited for and why?
I think that is the great thing about having a degree in the humanities! The training that any humanities student receives (from close reading to higher-order thinking skills, from understanding issues from multiple perspectives, to clear and detailed presentation of various issues) will allow you to enter various fields. I have consider going into Learning and Development, Strategy Work, Teaching, Editing and Copywriting, amongst other jobs in other sectors.
