I think that's just what I needed to hear. Thank you, and good luck!

Hi Junot,

I dropped out of college [In Boston] a few years back because I found it really unsatisfying and because I felt like I was being pushed (and pushing myself) through a major I really didn't want to peruse. What I really would like to do is study English and Creative Writing because I think that's where my real talent might lie, or if not talent, at least satisfaction.

But there's been a lot of debate recently about the value of the Humanities and English in college curriculums, and how many collages are cutting back because they no longer see the value of such programs.

Do you have any suggestions for someone who is on the fence about pursuing English and wants to make a go of writing?
