: Re: What is the better job for an English major: copy-editor or editor in chief? I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's degree in English. I have been asked to join a new startup online

Your question is very specific: which one would be more fulfilling or challenging. At a start-up, there is no doubt in my mind that editor-in-chief would be more challenging.

A copy editor can always make a weak excuse and slip out the door. The editor-in-chief is there until the last typo is fixed.

Being the editor-in-chief would be very exciting, not to mention exhausting, not to mention fulfilling, not to mention scary, not to mention unbelievable for your first job out of college.

You might want to make sure that this startup has solid funding, and that you won't be looking for a new job in a few months. It is very unusual to be offered an editor-in-chief position straight out of college, except if this is your best bud, or bff, in which case, double check the funding AGAIN anyway.
