"I was a literature major in college. I enjoyed writing (thinking, erroneously, that I could make a career out of it) and reading, so it seemed like a logical choice at the time."
I think you might appreciate degree as you age, or pursue other interests? I know tech desperately needs people who can convey thoughts, or concepts.
Before I read books/articles on tech; I jump right past the introduction, and look for clues that the author can put thoughts together in a logical order. If it's filled with run-on sentences, paragraphs that are out of order, a bunch of unessary words I move on. If you know this material, knowing how to write well will be valuable. If I was hiring a programmer, I would love to see an English major on the resume--especially if hiring for a large company?
