Should I major in English?

My daughter had the same dilemma (except for her not being Chinese). She wanted to major in English and then grad school for creative writing, or novel writing so she could write the next great American novel. She can still do that but we talked about redirecting her to something to pay the bills while she figured out her next move. She chose Journalism. At her school, that encompasses magazine writing, strategic communications, advertising, digital media and a lot of other careers that would utilize her liberal arts and writing skills. That doesn’t close any doors on the novel or grad school but it gives her a stopover to “rest” before more school and not starve. I’m sorry I can’t help with the H1B question. Good luck.
