<p>I see; teaching seems to be in the “Reasonable Top Ten Careers” list for almost every English major I know.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t mind the idea of becoming a teacher; teaching could actually turn into a hobby of mine eventually. However, people continue to jeer and mock me for planning to major in English, calling the idea “stupid” and “already integrated into the math and science majors”. Their mockery hasn’t affected my love for the language whatsoever, but it IS lowering my self-confidence. I don’t excel in any of the four core subjects; it’s just that Language Arts happens to come off as an interest of mine.</p>
