Thanks for the advice.

Yes, I agree mike. Are you implying that many college level courses overanalyze books? I’ve felt that way already in high school, and it doesn’t appeal to me. Feels like we’re pushing a bunch of intentions onto the author that might or might not have been there in the first place.

The english teachers that I have had told me to pursue a career in writing. They never really gave me any specifics, though. It was along the lines of “you should think about being a writer.” Obviously, I have given it thought, but feel that the chances of ever succeeding as a writer are low enough that I would be more inclined to pursue a more practical career. I’m not sure how much I would like professional technical writing, as it seems much more mechanized.

The thing is, like you said, there aren’t many options available with simply a bachelor’s in either English or Science.
