[quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I am an English major/ creative writing, and throughout college people (mostly alumni) tried to talk me out of it and how low paying. I was also editor of lit journal and etc. Follow passion! Writing is a skill that can be useful in many contexts. I went to law school and now run a thought leadership biz and make much more than most of my classmates. If my kid, i would apply to college, then encourage them to defer for a year to join a writers colony (Iowa Writers workshop, or some other group), then go back and double major in English/writing PLUS another major. I did biochem with mine. Maybe after the writing year, they will be more passionate about writing or lose interest; come back with more clarity. [/quote]
