I wasn't going to because the anon I'm replying to is a vain idiot but you've shamed me into it. Pearls before swine, away!

*Expound upon, or expand. Expound your is incorrect.

Greek philosophers and Gnostics held that, with enough knowledge, man could become divine. Those who lacked gnosis, who were ignorant of the mysteries, were as though already dead. That's why when you chastised what's-face for lacking knowledge, I called you a fake gnostic. Because you don't know what you're talking about and are just spewing a mishmash of incongruous theology. You are the last person to be teaching what is correct or not.

I'm not the other anon you're replying to btw. Just equally appalled by this thread.

OP here. fpbp.

>>11035700
I've been wanting to break into a writing gig for /tg/ or vidya, be part of a writer's room, or write a (good) novel for half my life. I'm mid-30s. I've filled my head with lots of good non-fic, philosophy, genre and films. I can think, but I feel a good story is not happening without a degree. My real, non-fun career goals are police or seminary. Promotion becomes much more likely as po-po from having any kind of degree, and English is a good basic degree for continuing on with more specialized schooling. I'd like to eventually attend seminary and become a military chaplain when I'm older and English BA is a fine start.

Already did that, it sucked.

>>11035721
I already think critically.

Yeh, that's slightly what I'm worried about. Having college debt and a rubbish degree. Besides English I'd like to pursue an Electronics Engineering degree and be an electrician or wire up houses. No danger of starving there, it fits in with my old career (radio wave / signal / antenna analysis), and I can afford to attend writing seminars and workshops afterwards. This might even be achievable with trade school.

That's Audrey Hepburn, the beloved actress and humanitarian philanthropist. She's nobility so settle down and show respect, maybe her ghost will call a gf into existence for you.

>Are you getting an English degree because literature is your passion. Go for it then.
Yes.

I read comparative mythology, classics, histories of antiquity, and biblical exegesis for fun. I don't write papers about it, I just like reading about ancient fedoras and their permanently perturbed pelvises.

Thanks doc. I definitely have a few career paths in mind, I just wanted some assurance that a literature-related baccelaureate, specifically English, would not be a waste of time. I already have most everything I need in life: tools, truck, skills, resume, ex-gfs. As long as I can afford rice and beans and rent, I'm good.


Thank you all for your input.
