I'd honestly say it is situational.
Having a Masters in English won't really say much for ya when you are discussing Global Warming or something that's not english necessarily.
True story: I am an English major and I went to the University Career Fair on Wednesday because I'm graduating in May. This is one of the conversations I had:
Me: What would an English major do within your company?
Booth lady: Oh, we don't discriminate on majors at all! We take all majors! English? You could stock shelves!
And at the Navy booth (all branches of the military were also there recruiting) this was the conversation:
Navy guy: Have you had a year of calculus-based physics?
Me: No, only one semester of calculus and one semester of physics.
Navy guy: I'd take you on as fleet!
I swear to you, English majors are useless. /wrist lol
