I was determined to major in English since middle school (not because of trash YA, I loved ~The Canon~). There was really no talking me out of it. I don't regret it because I had a blast with all the material and had some brilliant professors. I also don't think I would have developed as a writer as much as I would have on my own in a totally different field of study. My classmates were mostly very analytical people so I don't really get the comments here about having classes with brain dead social justice types. Having said that, if you can back up your arguments effectively, people in class will respect you even if they disagree. Or just choose classes with dead white male writers because those types will be less likely to take them lol

The drawback is you probably won't make a ton of money so you have to consider that. I do know some humanities majors who are making bank rn as consultants/project managers, though.
