I'm seeing a correlation between English majors and writing jobs. It is interesting because I don't think the two necessarily have much in common. Not to say that English majors can't write, but being able to appreciate and interpret literature can still make for a poor writer. A lot of cultural critics are terribly painful to read. On the other hand, my boyfriend (an INFP) studied Creative Writing and Economics in college and is a decent writer, but I would not say he is well read. In any regard, I guess it's just stretching your education and applying it in ways that you can.
It is sad, though, that many of us feel pressured to major in something that can be useful in acquiring a job rather than expanding perspectives and increasing critical thought. It just speaks to the narrow criteria that defines what is successful today, privileging fiscal capital over cultural capital.
But then again, maybe I can discuss themes of mourning and melancholia in Nabokov works while sipping my soy vanilla fair-trade latte like a wannabe granola-hipster-intellectual, but will have no retirement savings in forty years. Oh well, maybe I can just marry rich.
