Better not get any folks in here bashing English Lit.
I got a BA in English and everyone says I make the best fries at Arby’s. So crispy
My degree is in English (concentration in Literature), but I don't do anything English related. I do okay for a person with an English degree, though. I'm no baller, but $75k is certainly better than a lot of my female peers with useless degrees. I hate fiction and never read novels. Worst Eng-Lit graduate ever. LOL.

None of those things applied to me but I was awful at math and science, so opted for English.
Same. I'd have loved to get a specialized degree in something that pays big money, but math and science were horrible for me back then. I started out in Mass Communications, but it was too political. Plus, I saw print media dying and I had zero desire to be a news media person.

I’m in that same range as well. I guess we’re OT poor but IRL comfortable 
Was an accounting major for an entire semester before it occurred to me that I actually had to be halfway decent at math.
Meanwhile, my cousin graduated in PE from LSU a few years ago and is already making six figures at 25 *eye roll*
ETA: I did take one Contemporary Lit class and it was literally every stereotype rolled into one. We read David Foster Wallace and the like, and both professor and classmates were the worst. Otherwise I enjoyed most of my upper level classes
