/lit/ - Literature

So I'm currently making the final decision for my major as the clock runs down, and as I scroll through the requirements for the majors that I'm considering, I can just see my eyes glazing over. I know you guys are going to tell me "major in something practical you pussy," and I agree, as I've been looking through different engineering majors, Comp Sci, etc. even though I feel like the only things I like are literature and philosophy. I'm just scrolling with dread down the requirements --probabilistic graphical models, Introduction to Statistical inference, Programming Methodology-- and I can feel depression and boredom setting on already. How the fuck do you guys solve this problem? I dislike STEM, I hate it, jesus christ, but I feel like I need to force t down my throat if I'm to be able to eat after college. Should I just go premed or some shit? I don't mind biology as much. Fuck. I don't understand how anyone can make an educated informed decision that determines the rest of their life at such a young age.

What plans do you guys have for making a decent living while saving enough time to read and write on the side? Part time jobs? Teaching? I've been having a difficult time choosing a major, and I'm running out of time, so I'm wondering what you plans you guys have (if any).

I'm guessing the consensus here is that you should major in something practical and then write on the side. I've been considering going to med school and then working in something like emergency medicine (a subspecialty with good hours for a medical field and one that seems fascinating), and writing when I have time, but feel free to crush my dreams if they seem naive. I'm not sure how much time good authors usually allocated in a day to put out a good amount of writing, so if someone had that info that would be great.
