Originally sociology, because I wanted to go for religious studies but it wasn’t offered. I switched over to creative writing a few months ago, because I enjoy storytelling and have been told I’m good at it. My plan is to teach English as a second language, so I need a BA, any BA, to do that. I’m lucky that I’m not stuck into a particular degree path, and I get to do something I enjoy in that way.
Yeah I graduated a good while ago - diploma in programming from a technical school which – for anyone who isn’t familiar – offers a sort of pared down education with an emphasis on job placement (credits for doing highly subsidized work in the field). I was always drawn to the humanities, too. Took a stab at anthropology, but maybe the time wasn’t right.
Anyway, even a simple “advanced diploma” in programming nearly killed me (I got a passing “D” in maths that I am very proud of), but now I don’t have any issue finding gainful employment, which is nice. Downside being all the creative humanities stuff that is my real passion is purely for hobbies now. I honestly don’t hate the arrangement.
My partner taught English as a second language, too. She found it rewarding, and met a lot of her now good friends doing that.

Have you graduated? What did you go for?
