University Course
« on: September 20, 2014, 11:31:40 pm »

I am torn between two options. There is English with Creative Writing, and English and History.

These are the two courses I'd like to do. But I don't know which is more likely to lead to a job at the end.

I'm very worried about the consequences of a bad choice, and any advice/help would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you.

General life advice: I don't think there's anything you can learn that isn't useful, as long as you're good at applying it. I shit you not, a psychology course I took affects my engineering and design work every day.

That said, the latter two read better simply because typically, if you're not a straight-up author of some sort, you're being told what to write instead of making up your own.

No clue what you want your job to be, though. Realistically, it doesn't matter.

Personally, I'd favour the the Creative Writing one, simply because I'm biased. I'm mostly posting here to say this:

You're shitting me.

Yeah, I know. acetech used the phrase "I shit you not", however, so I decided to make a joke.
Granted, it wasn't very good, but I've gotta save the A material for the popular threads.
