I want to become an English major because I feel the most profound

No literature is for women and numale brainwashed cucks.

Real men are STEM who think with rationality and logic instead of muh feels like leftist liberal art faggots

college humanities are dead

ima hopeless romantic,
I search for beauty and thoroughness;
suck muh ass

I've got two humanities degrees and now I'm two semesters away from my STEM degree, life is good.

>>8312916
what's STEM?

>>8313015
>Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

>>8313015
It's like NEET but more expensive.

>Silly, Trifling Engineering Matters

Sure, but become a doctor instead. Then you can actually have leisure time and cash to acquire and enjoy your library.

>>8312909
As a reader, maybe. As a writer you should be doing something practical involving people.

Doctors can have as much fucking leisure time as they want, and move anywhere in their country and make a living. Have your own practice, set your own hours, make enough money to be wealthy in three days a week. Just stay away from hospital work. My brother in law is an ordinary doctor at a college clinic. He works 32 hours a week (4 days), gets $312K for it, has 10 weeks of vacation a year, and tons of perks. In other words, he makes more than 99% of the profs, and does a fraction of the work (no need to publish, mark papers, etc., just some charting). Become a fucking doctor; I wish I had.

Literally the only good humanities left is philosophy according to a professor.

Why people so quick to become this or that?

It's almost always not what you want it to be.

Read and Learn for the sake of learning.

Being better is the result of repetition and discipline.

>Have your own practice
Given that you're right but this needs an initial investment first.

Is your brother in law in US of A? The situation for doctors in countries with free healthcare isn't as cozy; besides, many do work in hospitals.

No, in Canada. But yes, it really depends what kind of doctor you become: residency is insane, and if you stay in hospitals, they'll work you to death--or if you're a specialist with a clinic that sets your workload (though either way, you'll be rich). The point is, you don't have to go those routes: being an MD gives you a profession everyone needs and will pay well for, and you can easily clear a quarter-million a year part-time in many versions of the job. Speaking as a past English major, don't think it's going to be your career.

true

>>8316401
yeah. philosophy is actually not a bad option for some. philosophy majors tend to have the highest LSAT scores so going to law school is always an option if you can't find a job
