i am told is absolutely nothing like how they teach english at school which is very good imo. an english major will really just consist of critical interpretations of literature. so you'll read your classics, study the canon, learn different schools of thinking, read essays by authors, whatever. if you in the least are interested in reading it shouldn't be hard, should be fun
"What do you do with a BA in English?
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge
Have earned me with this useless degree
I can't pay the bills yet 'cuz i have no skills yet.."
