How is English different than visual arts?
henry the eighth woo! asked:
I’m thinking about doing a ba in english. I was taking a visual arts degree and I made it to 4th year. I ended up dropping out of art school because the academics were so stressful in that the art academics were so circular and complicated. I excelled in the creative hands on stuff.
I really want to teach english, I love to read and I am creative. I’m thinking that an english degree would be best.
Any similar experiences would help me make a good choice
bye.

I think they are more alike than different. Your educational experience depends more on your instructors than the topic itself. “Circular and complicated” sort of describes my experience in English (my 2nd Bachelor’s degree). There are creative moments in the study of English but they can be extinguished by the mind-numbing blandness of the basics and abusive professors.
I think you need to knuckle down and finish what you start. By the time I finished college I wanted to quit many times. I only made it through by looking back on my years of effort and not wanting to squander them. I knew I’d have the choice to throw it away after I graduated, if I was still feeling self-destructive.
