I regret my English major.

regret nothing?

I regret much of my life

I regret being born.

Remember the Greek myth quoted by Nietzsche, somewhere in The Birth of Tragedy, about King looking in the forest Silenus, to the day he finally manages to find him, King Midas asked him "What is the most desirable thing for man?", Silenus answered "What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.”

it's k anon, you can rest easy knowing you can read the shit out of books with a greater capacity of understanding than the majority of the population

i mean, it's not like just anybody can learn these things with out the rigorous training only an english department can provide.

>>8306495
Any education is good. You can always go back to school if you fail to find a job.

It's most important that you do something that you enjoy.

Best luck to you Anon

Hey OP, I'm currently an English major, about to be a junior at uni.
My current outlook on it, especially after being assigned to read Possession and Small World last semester, is an understanding of the flaws of pursuing a career that functions in an "academic" setting, but also an acceptance of that fact that getting this far in life, being able to even study in a university and get any degree, is an experience as/more rewarding than what a lot of others do with their time on earth.

>>8306495
please tell me more so I could feel better about being an engineering major.

>literally no jobs except unpaid internships dicksucking on campaign trails
>too cynical to immerse myself in the cultlike atmosphere of the political campaign circuit
>go for a masters in public administration instead
>still jack shit for job openings for people without 3-7 years experience

I regret not finishing my English degree before switching to something that pays.

I regret that it cost so much, but I'm very glad it gave me the drive to learn at a time when I otherwise might not have. I read old books I otherwise wouldn't have, and learned old languages I otherwise couldn't have. That said, I plan to let my degree rot in a closet somewhere while I learn a skilled trade. Not that I think I need to; but I've always been biased with a love towards physical objects and a deep respect for honest work.

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

Fuck you OP, I'm going back to school this fall to make a second attempt at an English degree.

>I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

This part of the pasta is so good that it transcends pasta. It's worth all of /lit/'s copypasta combined. One cannot quite pinpoint why it is so good: the confident assertion that existential crises are measurable, desirable experiences, of which the relater has kept account—the strange assertion that someone else has confidently assessed the "profundity" of one as being that of a man "twice his age" (one imagines him being examined by a wise old master of existential crises)—the proud implication that there will be many more 'crises' of this sort—everything about the passage suggests that an "existential crisis" is like a spurious bout of self-improvement for a talented young go-getter, which is counted towards his character because it stems not from existence but from high IQ and good initiative. He demonstrates no capacity for understanding the grounds of an existential crisis, while boasting that he has outdone everybody else at it.

It is a masterpiece of copypasta and ranks among some of the best satire in the English language. It is only a shame that the author cannot copyright it and reveive the credit due to him.

>>8308443
I read a diverse selection of literature and enjoy it very much

that's the best thing I can say about my english degree

>>8306495
I regret not being a native speaker of English.

>>8306495

I'm glad I studied English (got a dual degree and went to law school so I avoided the barista track). I just wish my program had been more rigorous.

I honestly think that's the major problem with a lot of humanities programs - the faculty are all hippies who are constitutionally indisposed to giving out bad grades, and who probably find the very idea of ranking people distasteful. So the programs end up attracting the detritus of more rigorous majors. Then you have a bunch of morons in every class who don't read anything and couldn't give two shits about literature, and the conversation suffers. I took some advanced classes with fewer than 10 people in them and the experience was infinitely better.

On the other hand, I find it laughable that business majors are so much more respected than the humanities. My econ classes made the English program seem like boot camp, and the other business fields are even easier (except maybe accounting).

Is it financially viable to major in what your passion is if your passion isn't STEM related? I've majored in Computer Science and am doing well by it, but going to school for it was a real slog. I wish you could feasibly make money with an English or Philosophy major, but outside of academia or as a technical writer, I don't see how it's possible.

Bait aside, Islam is still a shit religion.

I don't know how to feel about my music major.

I naively thought an English Major would be about mastery of the english language, technical abstractions (basically formalism), and ascetic study of significant works in the language.

As it turns out, it's more about finding novel ways to:
>curate literature to suit your personal politics
>pretend something as past-oriented as literature can be progressive by creating new subjectivities to read old books
>produce research in volume... "publish or perish"
>cheekily smuggle films, YA, youtube, and twitter into literature courses where no one reads anything
>believe in fashionable nonsense

I had a shit childhood. All I want(ed) was to be alone somewhere with beautiful words. Instead, I get a professor bringing up gamergate drama in class, pop feminism, bad secular left criticism of science, and similar trash.

Lad, linguistics has nothing to do with English really, just language as a whole.

I really, really don't think I'll regret. Happiest I've ever been so far.

>>8312769
I see where he's coming from.

A lot of positions that are sustainable careers don't even care what your degree is in, just that you have a degree.

For instance I work (janitorial) at a call center and there's a desk for the guy who manages the managers. He's gotta make at least 40/50 thousand a year. He has his degree in his cubicle and it's seriously a Dance degree from the shitty state university that I'm going to.

Having a degree at all just means "yeah, I was on time to class for 4 years and I completed most of my assignments", and signals that you have devotion and the ability to meet a deadline.

People over-exaggerate "oh whaaaaat am i gunna do with my liberal arts degree".

>>8312812
That happiness wears off when you actually start applying for jobs and keep getting rejected because of a sea of 4 year humanities degrees is competing with you in this economy and you lack any experience to set you apart from the rest of them. The Bachelors degree is devalued to what the High School Diploma used to be. Want to be a Grad student enjoy your piled up debt just to be a park ranger or if your lucky teach at a Community College.

So basically in the United States you not only go through 10 years or whatever of schooling, you also need to go to university, which I heard is expensive as fuck, and graduate in the "right thing" so you're able to afford a living?

This is kinda fucked up. Why isn't everyone burning shit down up there.

>>8312831

University is a daycare for adults who don't know what to do with themselves and are still afraid of the real world. Intellectually stimulating as it is, the four year degree is the equivalent of a high school diploma since anyone can get a high school diploma these days including shit for brains who are passed through despite failing grades and general lack of interest in schooling, thanks to the No Child Left Behind and Every Student Succeeds Acts.

That's true, I wasn't advocating that. I was more just responding to the people on 4chan of all places who seem to think that making less than 100 grand means your life is shit.

This is very true. Most employers value any degree because they display 'transferable skills'. As long as you haven't suddenly decided that you want to go into something specialized, such as medicine, it doesn't really matter what your major is as long as you enjoyed it. Success in terms of career is more to do with your personality than your education.

An english major is basically the easiest "I don't know what the fuck should I do after I graduate from highschool" major. 6/10 kids are gonna go for it because it doesn't include any hard math or science.

So basically, you're gonna get stuck with a shitty degree in a market that's saturated with fools who just didn't know what to do with their lives but and took the easy way. Also debts.

Unless you go overseas you ain't gonna find shit with an English degree. At least not without experience or being fluent in a second language.

STEM major here, graduated with a BS in Biology with a 3.75 GPA, that was 3 years ago and I have yet to get a job using my degree. In the last 3 years I have probably applied to over 500 biology jobs with multiple different formats of my resume and I have only received 2 calls for interviews.

Most STEM fags end up doing data entry for accounting firms or other equally monotonous, unrelated work that is more and more often being outsourced to India, or automated.

Unless you're a top student getting into a PhD program expect to do another 2-3 years to get your medical/laboratory technician diploma so you can use centrifuges all day and babysit an autoclave. Engineering is a different story but even that is starting to become over saturated.

I love you /lit/.

That's an excellent line, but the rest are disappointingly simplistic (although still good; only disappointing because of the excellence of that line).

>I'm 19 years old.
Already sends warning bells ringing; youth is generally mocked on 4chan (as is normal). It is also young enough that anyone older will identify with him in their younger years, and anyone of the same age will be able to compare his position to theirs.

>I am handsome-
The first parts all play on the memetically hated chad stereotype, and, because this is /lit/, the Greek ideal. But the last word's clinical irrelevance to modern descriptive language (and subsequent absurdity in modern life) renders the preceding sentence "unreal", that is, it winks to the reader as to the pasta's bait-ish providence. It also conjures up in the mind the humorous image of a young man feverishly measuring their ability to have sex, and coming to the satisfied conclusion that they are "virile".

>I have a novel-
The "I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage" plays on the memetic desire, but inability, of e/lit/ists to ever finish a book (let alone get it published, which contrasts nicely with the erring apostrophe in "it's", reinforcing the idea that the persona, despite his superficial failings, is still better than you (or so it seems). The latter half is another "wink", as creative writing professors are not respected, and the whole thing reeks of the self-confidant teenager who's been humoured by his teachers and parents &c., which everyone can relate to (once more ramming the true purpose of this pasta -- making fun of us, and our younger way of thinking -- home).

>I have a girlfriend-
This one is very simple. It plays on the, once more memetic, inability of anyone on 4chan to obtain a girlfriend; this is set against the absurd attempt to reduce her into a few, key qualities, as if she was a new product on the market. This signals that the anon has no idea what he is doing but assuming that a few desirable qualities are necessary to obtain -- so he may show off, again striking at the core of what it means to be an e/lit/ist.

>I have a small group-
Very similar to the above, but this time he is reducing himself down to two qualities; the cold description throws us into doubt over his claim that he is "a reliable source of humour", leading us to believe that he instead fulfils the autistic neckbeard archetype -- as many of us know intimately, either as ourselves, or as -- acquaintances. Oh, and the "different social backgrounds" may play on /pol/ack memes.

>Both-
Another absurd statement; not only likely, given his age, but also missing the point of having parents i.e. love &c. (a theme here).

>I have no regrets.
Plays on 4chan's general inundation with regret, as well as his youth making it absurd to consider that he would have many regrets.

>I am a passionate-
Very simple. Affirms suspicions of neckbearded autism.

>I am not-
Refers to the UBERMENSCH/red pill memers, as well as painting him as a general arse, but most importantly strikes at anyone who may have been thinking "what an arrogant prick".

>I will live a good life at your expense.
I cannot decide whether to praise or condemn this last line. On the one hand, it certainly ends the pasta with a punch, finally outright stating its offensive aim to us. But on the other, it has little obvious lead-up, and seems isolated from the rest of the pasta, ham-fisted.

NOPE.

why even waste time with pre-law? you could have gotten a bachelors in something like finance and been better off.

Med school is the Kwisatz Haderach if you have any ability to study and the slightest aptitude for biological science.

>>8319329
Yeah, sure, let me just get into med school. It's not like you need perfect grades all through your education or anything.

>>8319333
throughout* your education

I know a couple of guys with stellar MCAT that went to state schools then went to DO school despite middling grades.

What really matters academically is organic chemistry grade and MCAT.

>he fell for the natalist meme

When I was in undergrad, all my peers feared linguistics and whined endlessly about the prospect of having to take one course in it. I avoided taking it as a result. It turned out, after taking a few courses in grad school, I would have really loved the subject and probably found a better career (this was 8 years ago) if I had majored in it all along.

>He decides whether to have children or not because of memes

>>8319452
Don' listen to kids in college. Half of them are retarded. Literally most of the people in CS say that Calc 2 was extremely hard (pure mathfag btw). It's literally mostly memorizing and proofs, but nothing overwhelming. I got the vibe that most of the kids there diidn't even do the problems in the fucking book. Honestly, my math classes didn't get difficult until I started taking senior level math classes and even they were pretty manageable.

More money is generally better. Never settle. Besides, here kids don't know how to handle money,a lot of kids in my school walk around with over 300 dollars for no reason.
