I figured I'd post in here since I am looking for serious responses.

I am thinking of having a minor in Comp Sci and majoring in something else.

I was just looking online for a possible change in major and came across an English (FILM) degree listing.

What does that mean and what kind of job would one NOT be able to get? I have always been interested in making films, but not sure if these two are even related!

Some feedback, please.

Pressfield was an advertising copywriter, schoolteacher, tractor-trailer driver, bartender, oilfield roustabout, attendant in a mental hospital, fruit-picker in Washington state, and screenwriter.[2] His struggles to make a living as an author, including the period when he was homeless and living out of the back of his car, are detailed in his 2002 book The War of Art.[2]

Pressfield's first book, The Legend of Bagger Vance, which was loosely based on the Bhagavad Gita, was published in 1995, and was made into a 2000 film of the same name directed by Robert Redford and starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Matt Damon

Are you so interested in films that you would live in your car to keep writing and get rejected every day? Thats basically the bar.

I used to say "You can't be President" but since America will elect any old low-rent reality star that's not true anymore. Bring back the glass ceiling!

Sometimes when I’m driving around town, I’ll come up with potential speeches in my head that I would give if I were running for president. I feel like I have some good ones, and they are very middle of the road, let’s get us back on track kind of things. If I can do it anybody could. And I swear I couldn’t do a worse job than what’s going on now.
