<p>Here’s an article I found that seems to be in sync with what I’ve been feeling as of late, this being my second semester at a CC. After being rejected by all four of the UCs that I applied to a year ago and wallowing in a sort of depression for several months after that, I’m feeling good about myself again and this article is one of the reasons why. </p>
<p>As an English major, I hear about much more difficult it is to find a job (what are you going to do with a degree in English? the argument between the sciences and humanities) and it gets disheartening sometimes. I just felt like sharing this in case there’s anyone starting out who needs some assurance that CC isn’t all that bad.</p>
<p>Of course, no judgement against anyone who started out on the four year route from the beginning.</p>

<p>Im an english major too and I will be changing majors when I enter UC Davis this fall for the reason that English majors really have no jobs after graduation. It’s the truth.</p>
<p>The article you provided the link for was excellent, thank you. I have an English degree and used it for several years as a DOD tech writer/editor, but I know those jobs aren’t as available as they once were. Before I got that degree I was a Bio major off-and-on, finally finishing up (5 years) in Eng. I’m in a second career now as a registered nurse. I’m moving into health topics writing. My oldest son is entering a public university after community college as a drama student and the debt he’ll incur gives me pause.</p>

I’m sorry to hear that, but I understand your reasoning. It’s a shame though and I really hope I don’t have to resort to changing majors. English is one of the few things I truly love.</p>

Same goes for you too, but I’m glad you’ve found another niche. I wish the best of luck for your son and a saying I live by is that nothing worth having comes easy. To me, English is something I truly want. But there are possibilities after the undergrad years and I’m considering law school.</p>
<p>awesome article! I love Thought Catalog (:</p>
