Hey parents, I’m looking for a little advice…

I’ll be going to UCLA in the fall, and right now I’m going in as a poli sci major. After college I want to go to law school. I like politics, but I really love English, and it’s something I’m naturally good at. I told my mom the other day that I wanted to switch my major to English, but she doesn’t think I should; she thinks I’ll end up living in a cardboard box. lol.

So basically I have two questions:
Would it be significantly harder to get into law school as an English major than as a poli sci major?
If I don’t get into law school or decide I don’t want more school, what can I do with an English major?

Thanks!
