{Major Change}

My two most favorite things; books and autumn

So, I have been doing some research and surfing around online and have decided to change my major. I'm a little bit nervous because I have noticed the phrase, "What are you going to do with that major?" being used often in relation to the career path I'm interested in. Have you guessed what it is yet? I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with my all-time favorite things. Yep, I'm majoring in English. For those of you who know what kind of nerd I am this probably didn't come as much of a surprise as it would for those who didn't know this. I was at first looking into the Library Tech Program but it's just a certificate program and I want a degree and I could go on to be a librarian with my English major which is pretty awesome because by the time I get my BA I will be able to know more about what I'm very interested in doing.

Anyways, for those of you who think an English major is a foolish choice let me clear up all of the myths. First of all English majors could do more than just write and teach although this is what the majority of them do. I do think I would enjoy writing or teaching an English based class, I wouldn't do so well in teaching anything else though. Secondly the English major offers so much variety of work that it made me a little dizzy. You can become a script writer, or a speech writer, or you can work in advertising, law firm, or a publishing house. The line of work is amazing and the choices are broad. I'm excited to begin this journey and see where it takes me. But most importantly I'm happy to report that I will be doing something I love and something that makes me happy. Hopefully I didn't bore you with this long post.
