[quote=Anonymous]I was an English major, went into a different field, now write books about that field using skills I developed as … an English major. I think OP is a troll, but fwiw, I have encouraged my own children to major in English, as I think it’s a great foundation. Those won’t be the only classes they take. They do have distributive requirements at their college. Everyone I know who has excelled in their field has strong writing and reading comprehension skills. The good news is that if you disagree with me, you are free to advocate for a different path. But imagine if every person in society acquired the exact same set of skills. We’d have a shortage of divergent thinkers and little innovation. Plus, an English major can become a scientist if they’d like. For instance, cancer biologist and Nobel laureate Harold Varmus was an English major. [/quote]
