Have a place for an English Literature degree but having second thoughts, thinking of changing. Is it useless and should I just read what I choose in my spare time?

Will you be paying money or taking on debt for this degree?
>>8132750
Yes, although it's a UK student loan so only paid back relative to income. It's likely I'll pay about £10-20 a month of future earnings
>>8132754
That's an unrealistic figure for a monthly repayment. However, a degree is still worthwhile. I did a philosophy degree and now I don't work in a related field at all, making good money, but I wouldn't have got my job without my degree.

I looked and it would more likely be double that, but it's still not that much which is good. What work do you do out of interest?
>>8132760
How much did you make straight out of uni? I'm curious as to how much I should even ask for starting out
>>8132737
What school?

University of Leeds
It's quite easy to find a job with a humanities degree, but don't expect to work in some English-related field. You should aim a broad range of positions. I got hired in a bank.
