if you are going to school for education, then go for it. if you are going for the greater chance of gainful employment, then i would advise against it. I cannot totally empathize as my degree is a BS in History, but i would consider History about as useful as English as far as getting a job is concerned.

Yes, this is why I am likely chossing it. Do you remember, off-hand, which authors' works you read? Was it mostly fiction? Nonfiction?
mostly non-fiction, but i have recently gotten into more fiction.
my favorite american writers: Robert E. Howard (Sword and Sorcery), Robert A. Heinlein (Science Fiction), Mark Twain (19th Century America), R.A. Salvatore (Fantasy), Wies & Hickman (Fantasy), Jean M. Auel (Historical Fiction), and Anne Rice (Gothic).
good luck in your choice.
