It depends on where each student is at.

Did you do your undergrad in English? I got my degree in psychology with a philosophy minor but I have completed several English courses. I've been thinking about channeling my personal love of Lit into teaching as I'm really not enthusiastic about pursuing grad work in psychology, business or law. This would also be a major career switch, but I think it would be more fulfilling.

So, do you think taking on an English grad degree is feasible if you don't have English as your undergrad? How difficult was it for you to find your current position? Did you have to move, or do you plan to in the future?

EDIT: ^ And what glowskull said.

Thanks, that's pretty consistent with the responses I usually get. I think I might try to find an adjunct position that pertains to what I do now in order to try teaching on for size.
