I minored in English; I majored in studio art.

(Dad was not thrilled, but I paid for my tuition, not him.)

@swordsjew @Jorie_Graham #iwasanenglishmajor, and then I taught high school English, left, got a doctorate, taught university media studies, left, got an MSW, worked as a therapist, quit, briefly worked as a gig copyeditor, and now I'm a full-time caregiver for two disabled adult family members. Sometimes I correct people's grammar. And read. I often read. :-)

Not a single regret #iwasanenglishmajor

@swordsjew @Jorie_Graham
#iwasanenglishmajor though we didn't really call it that in England.

I now work as a programmer but hey, programming is reading and writing.

I work in cybersecurity. On my resume I wrote "BA" for over a decade. I still do not openly talk about literature, but studying it in college has not hampered me from a fruitful career.

#IWasAnEnglishMajor is a cool hashtag popping off on Twitter. Maybe it could see some love here?

Here's where is seems to have started:
