Maybe he didn't like English Literature - his passion was film, or programming, or architecture and he discovered it later (and he couldn't change his major then). Or his college had lousy Film teachers or didn't offer any programming/architecture classes so he decided to go with English even though he didn't like it. Or maybe he partied all college, and then graduated and found more about the "real" world and got his act together. I agree (in general) with wanting employees that aren't single-minded and have no hobby/passion outside of their work, but in this particular case I absolutely disagree with author's decision (based on his article).
