I'm an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there.
I used to write a lot of songs. I was an English major in college. I was a deluded poet for a year. Totally deluded.
I am an English major in school with an emphasis in creative writing. I think hearing Maya Angelou speak at school last year was one of the best moments Stanford, at least, intellectually, had to offer.
The number one secret of being a successful writer is this: marry an English major.
I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.
I consider myself a writer who happens to write about history, rather than a historian. I was an English major in college. What I've learned about history is in the field, so to speak. Going into the archives and working with it directly.
I was an English major in college, and then I went to graduate school in English at the University of North Carolina for three years.
I didn't fit the typical profile of a trader. I was an English major working on a novel at night. Most everyone else was a maths or economics major; most everyone else had relatives or family in banking.
I ended up doing four or five plays in college and being an English major with my thesis in language acquisition, which I was planning to study in graduate school.
I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college.
