I'm getting an associates in Business. I am not trying to get a job with that degree. The information is valuable to me.

I'm not getting a bachelor's. I am going to try and make a living as a copywriter.

Copy writing is something that I find rewarding, so I'm not intimidated about finding success as a freelancer writer.

I wish. I'm fascinated by history but my brain absolutely requires underlying structures, patterns, and truths in order to start to understand a subject. History is almost entirely memory-based and can't be "solved" or "understood" in any way other than to memorize as much as possible

Comp Engineering.
I love it, probably wouldn’t change it for anything.
If I could do anything else it’d probably be philosophy. I loved the philosophy classes I did take and I love reading philosophical text. Either that or literature. I feel like I could use my never ending thirst for reading for something more productive than consuming.

You should try it out yourself if you really want to. Just get yourself some programming book (C++ textbook by Bjarne Stroustrup, or some other commonly recommended one) and learn yourself. That way you know if you want to do it or not.

I asked this in the last thread but does anyone know if it's common to switch humanities focuses between undergrad and postgrad? For example, studying English as an undergrad but studying philosophy as a postgrad.

Nope, so far it's just learning how to ask people for money. Feels like being homeless, except more expensive. Also everyone in my field is super delusional thinking how rich their gonna be despite having no ambition or plan.

>What's your major

I graduated four years ago with a BA in Political Science with a concentration in Political Economy.

>Do you like it?

Sure, PoliSci is kindof a catchall field: I studied history, economics, demography, anthropology, group decision making, etc.

>If not, what would you do instead?

I was going to double major in English because I've always loved to read and I've always done very well in my high school English classes (editor of the school newspaper, top 1% on verbal SAT portion, only one of two As in my AP language and composition class etc.) but I was completely turned off by the anti-white male narrative.

The professors were mostly nice and competent but their whole curriculum was built around excoriating straight white males.

Jokes on them, I work as an English teacher at a private school and I write fiction on the side.

Depends on the classes you take. I'm an English major studying based heroes and epic narratives and it's pretty great. I did take a creative writing class that was a bit onions so I know now not to waste my time with those sorts of classes.

Unfortunately, I don't have any elective spots left so I'm riding on English and Mathematics combining as majors into some kind of ersatz Phil major.

Do what you truly want to do.

Otherwise, you will end up resenting yourself and the people that surround you. They will remind you of how you fucked yourself.
