I agree that you should study in a major that truly interests you.

HOWEVER.

I just can’t shake the image in my mind of elite college football players being introduced on TV during bowl season and seeing that the majority of them are communications majors. Bear in mind that few of these guys will graduate and they chose their major based on degree of difficulty. I know it’s an unfair stereotype but you should continue to ask as many people as you can about whether they associate this particular major with jocks or boneheads looking for an easy degree. There certainly wouldn’t be any negative stigma with an English degree.
