[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it undersubscribed at private T25? For a kid who likes creative writing, has awards, published book. But also literary mag at school and newspaper. Also interested in publishing, media, and journalism. Uncertain about major choice. Thoughts?[/quote] I was an English major and credit it with teaching me how to think critically and creatively. I ended up being a Writer and Creative Director in Advertising and make great money. I also founded my own company. I would do it again assuming they still teach the classics and didn't pivot too hard to only modern works. For example many decolonization efforts aim to remove Shakespeare, Chaucer, etc. You can NOT be an English major without studying Shakespeare because he is so foundational and referenced throughout the rest of the canon. So I would take a look at the department and teachers. It also helps to take some logic and rhetoric classes as well as philosophy. [/quote] +1[/quote]
