What to Do with Virgil?

(A category related to "What to do with a Classics degree.")   

You could become an award-winning novelist, like Jeffrey Eugenides, author of Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides (who just did a reading in Houston):

As a schoolboy he studied Latin, reading Ovid (where he came across the hermaphroditic seer Tiresias) and falling under the sway of Virgil. He once said The Aeneid influenced him more than any other book, although he also cites the great Russians — Tolstoy, Nabokov — and American novelists Saul Bellow and Philip Roth as influences.

Or, a CPA-engineer-lawyer, like the recently deceased Robert D. Wallick:

In law journals, he pulled from classical sources to make his points in the otherwise Saharan references to attachments, circulars and external operating manuals. His footnotes sometimes included Virgil's "The Aeneid" and Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias."
