For Tuesday - English Degrees

A good friend of mine related the story of how her and her boss were talking about people who have English degrees. He does; and, on the surface of his job description, you would not necessarily assume he'd studied the great novels of the last 500 years for his undergrad degree. But, you see, it made perfect sense to me. Mock us all you want, but English majors, Literature majors around the world, we are the writers, the meaning-makers, the interpreters of our daily lives.
