English and Literature is a great major. Most majors give students marketable and professional skills that can be used in a variety of fields, arenas, and life-paths.

The key is knowing the skills you've gained and effectively using them. And--having minors and other coursework that bring diversity to your college curriculum and resume (ie: English, with a minor/significant coursework in Computing or Earth Science; or Engineering with a minor/significant coursework in Portuguese or History).

From an article about how Microsoft lost its mojo:

Kurt Eichenwald (author of article)--Most interesting, however, is that Jobs put the ultimate blame on Bill Gates: “They were never as ambitious product-wise as they should have been. Bill likes to portray himself as a man of the product, but he’s really not. He’s a businessperson. Winning business was more important than making great products. Microsoft never had the humanities and liberal arts in its DNA.”

Another great article related to this. Some really great insight and information:

maybe, i wish Clemson would stick with a Furman type team in the first game.

These two teams seem pretty even so should be good game regardless.
