I have found schools that offer poetry majors. I think that would be incredible. But are there any jobs I could achieve with that?

Hi, meecy12!

That's kind of a tough question there! If the institutions are offering a major in it, then I hope that they would have some resources to help people to find jobs doing it.

I would suppose that greeting card companies might have a need for someone that's good at doing it. Also, if you put your poetry on and in some kind of format that's might be marketable as keepsakes and gifts of some kind, it might work - like when we go into a bookstore or gift shop and see trinkets and other objects for sale that have poetic sayings on them.

Again, kind of a tough question...

Hopefully, others will also come along to address your post.

Thanks!
