I am 22 years old and have been wanting to go to collage since I graduated high school in 2022, but didn't have the funds to attend. Now that I am capable of paying for collage I have been considering a degree in either Library Science or English. I have been doing research on both degrees and have seen pros and cons regarding both but I am unsure which would be better for my interests. On one hand I would love to work at a library and help inspire others to read, plus I grew up in libraries and would be happy working in one. The only thing is if I get a Library science degree I am afraid I would not have as much job opportunities if I got a degree in English. I believe a English degree could offer me more freedom when it comes to the job market and I would eventually like to do something like editing books or working in publishing. I was wondering if it is worth it to get a degree in English if I am not interested in teaching, how hard it was to get the degree, how much debt you had if you feel comfortable sharing, and if it seems like the right degree for what I am wanting. I am going to meet with a guidance counselor to go over some of these questions but more advice would be helpful. Thank you!
