Marie's rethinking her career choices. Not sure what she wants to do, but she doesn't like Science so much anymore.
A few notes: In order to teach HS, you would need accredation, which would either require going back to school for a teaching degree or getting an MEd (so, in other words, more school). Even subbing (in Washoe County, at least) would require a few courses of school you probably don't have.
Even with a double-major in English and History, I doubt my ability to land a job I'd like in editing unless I manage to somehow become editor of The Leading Edge one of these years (and therefore have both an English degree and experience as managing editor). This is why Editing as a career option is becoming less and less appealing to me. In your case, I think you'd be lucky to land an entry-level position with any publisher (except perhaps places like the phone book people, who probably have very high turnover).
I hope you find a job that appeals to you, though. I'm sure the CIA would be interesting—I know they like linguists, and I've thought about that, but it doesn't really appeal to me, ultimately.
So, whatever happened to going off into the middle of the ocean and being a scientist?
