[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chaucer, that's another one I never read. If only my parents knew, they were already not thrilled with the English degree but I didn't even read half the books. I did watch all the movies though. Somehow I got a great job working for the government. [/quote]

I was an English major and I actually feel sorry for you.  You had the incredible gift and luxury of four years to immerse yourself in reading great books without the distractions and grind of having to earn a living, and you squandered it.  You don't even know what you missed out on.  It's such a privilege and there are so many people in the world who yearn for such opportunities and will never be lucky enough have them. [/quote]

Uh, no, I missed out on nothing. I had a great time. College was freaking awesome, except for the classes, but otherwise I enjoyed every minute.

As far as the comments go about English majors needing a post graduate degree, why would I do that? I picked the easiest major in other to avoid studying. [/quote]

Point proven. You don't know what you missed out on.[/quote]
