I wonder why SJ never went back and got a Master's degree in English at Oxford...
She "only" has a BA. Can you get a well paid job, or any job with just a BA?
I'm speaking from a Danish point of view as BA's are useless here unless you get a relevant Master's degree, that either compliments* or is an extention of your BA.
*In Danish university system most subjects (especially those taught at Secondary Schools) will have room for students to accuire a Minor subject - If SJ had a BA in English, she could have applyed for a Minor in Art History, then she could decide if she wanted a Master degree in English or Art History, but she would only be able to get a job as a Secondary School Teacher if she completed her Master's degree...
