Ivory comes through with some hard wisdom

I will pull a quote from the comments, just for those who don't bother...

In my post I am of two minds, Ivory stated, with echoing accuracy:

If every English major volunteered in a hospital or worked doing HTML tagging in an internship while earning their degree, they would have many more options after graduation.

I could not have said it better. I think that an English degree is a vital and important major...a second major. Take a degree in something that pays, and THEN, if you must, indulge your inner literary critic, close reader or lover of text. Law sounds good.
