I'm so confused and sad

I want to be an English major (wanted too) I wanted to be a teacher while creating books. Hopefully one day considered a big author.

However, so many people scared me out of it.

-You won’t make enough money

-you’ll hate it in the future

-it’s not worth student loans

-What Job will you get with that? A teacher! That sucks!

I’m now a Criminal Justice Major about to graduate with my associates degree. I can’t help, but feel lost.

What if I coulda rocked it with an English degree????
