Well, yes, but... Anyone wishing to assess the point reached by the English Departments in the days he mourns should also have a look at what a generation of poets and critics said of the Modern Language Association (Randall Jarrell and Edmund Wilson come to mind) or Ivor Winters's essay "What Are We to Think of Professor X".
What jobs are there? Well, there's law school--a number of English majors I knew took that route. One can try for a job in publishing, though that looks unpromising now. Or you can end up in the tech world
