As a writer, I have a sharp eye for typos (and poor grammar). In fact, in college I gained the reputation of Grammar Nazi.
In my opinion, English majors should be mandated within every job market, not just journalism or publishing. Every company should have a trained eye on hand to prevent embarrassing grammatical oversights, or even just awkward wording/phrasing.
For example:
This sign (seen in a family-friendly neighborhood) could be a warning that there are "slow" children playing nearby, or asking that approaching drivers decrease their speed due to the presence of said children.

This sign (on the main doors at my grandma's assisted living facility) made me laugh out loud. If the door is automatic, why would it need to be pulled on to open?
I want to be the copyeditor for whatever company creates these signs!
