How can I realistically expect my life to go if I major

Poorly. Do English comp; you'll have more prospects and you can still take Lit courses.

Anywhere. Degrees don't matter nowadays. Just be smart and don't be a retard and you'll be fine

Honestly wherever you want. But an English degree by itself is shitty. Most English graduates I know are now just working higher positions in whatever entry-level job they had while studying. Banking, retail, community outreach, corporate responsibility, hr, etc. Just get some paper-pushing position when you're young and you'll be fine later on.

Or go teach English somewhere; double-major in another language and do translation work; become a high school teacher; combine it with a business degree; or kys I don't care just don't do only an English degree
