Everytime

I go through this sort of conversation so often /lit/. I'm thinking about pursuing a degree in English because its the only thing thats really ever interested me. I don't think its unreasonable to have some sort of plan for when you graduate but the whole idea of knowing exactly what you want to do with a degree strikes me as unrealistic; how am i suppose to know where I'll be in 4 years? It strikes me that people who ask this question arn't so much interested in higher education as they are in the job it will give them. I want to go to college to learn something and grow as a person. Still I do know I will need a job and what I've heard about English degrees is they are applicable to many different areas. I'm curious about the experience you English majors here had after college and what you think an English degree is worth. What do you think?

I think it's Camus' Algerian upbringing that spared him. Environment can't be disregarded. Would so love to have a beer with Albert.
