@bodangles - it really is excellent!

@Layra Sparks - I apologize for being so forward. When I have such strong opinions, it’s difficult to be stay in the middle . I think everyone has their own path, and should be free to choose where they go in life and how they get there. I don’t think there’s absolutely anything wrong with a degree in art, or history, or creative writing, regardless of “clout” when you compare those degrees to STEM majors. I think there should only be one requirement for picking a degree and a college, and it’s this: do what you want without regrets. If the OP is absolutely, completely positive they’ll be without regrets after graduating, I say go for it. But that’s only if they’re sure. Unfortunately, there are so many graduates out there who - whether it be due to crushing debt or a subpar education - end up regretting their decision to attend so-and-so school for such-and-such degree. Then they spend the next twenty years lamenting their unfortunate situation.

Whatever the OP chooses, good luck to them! So long as they don’t have any regrets
