<p>Wow! That’s a lot of questions!</p>
<p>The first thing you need to understand is that at the vast majority of college there are distribution requirements, so you’re going to study English whether you want to or not. While there are a few colleges where you can avoid that, they’re not generally ones with business and transportation systems majors.</p>
<p>I think you have the wrong idea about liberal arts colleges. The best of them will land you in the most elite jobs in the Country-business, engineering, you name it!</p>
<p>So let’s get the basics from you so that we might really help. Where are you from? What are your grades and scores. And most important: what can your family afford? That is the single most important thing to pay attention to when constructing a list of colleges to apply to. If your family is very well off and can pay $60,000 per year, then you get to be really fussy about class size and being near a big city. If they’re low income and you have spectacular grades it might work too. But the vast majority of kids in the middle have to look first at affordability.</p>
