I moved to New York City nine years ago for college. What was my major? Musical Theatre. That's right. I work as an editor in the publishing industry and don't have an English degree. I did take several literature classes in college, but the majority of my course work involved dance class, voice lessons, and a lot of dressing up in costumes and playing characters. I even worked for several years as an actor in the city and on tour. This post isn't about how you don't need an English degree to be an editor. Plenty of editors don't have English degrees (although many do). This post is about how I use the skills I learned in the theatre school on a regular basis in my job as an editor.
