Foreign languages were the bane of my existence. I started going deaf while I was in college and if you think understanding a native Spanish speaker is difficult wait until you can't hear half of what they are saying.
Thankfully I was finally able to convince the University to give me a waiver because there was no way in hell I could have passed advanced Spanish.

on 1/9/19 at 9:30 am to AllbyMyRelfMy story arc is almost identical to the OP. I still want to be an author, but like OP said, having an English major isn't going to help you sell books.
These days I work for myself in a completely unrelated field and am happy with my decision to quit school. For now anyways. I will most likely go back and finish at some point, but that's way on down the road. My work keeps me plenty busy.

on 1/9/19 at 12:23 pm to OKTGR580Thanks baw! This is my last semester for my bachelor's. I'm taking sports economics, conspiracy theories (senior seminar), leadership in the workplace, and facility security. Associates & Bachelor's completed in 3 years - in class at age 31.
Physiology and Kinesiology
The idea was to go into medical, likely as a physicians assistant
Been out for 8 years now and am a medical malpractice insurance broker for hospitals, physicians, etc. unconventional route but gained experience working for a carrier. Pays way better.
I could have done something easier had I known I wasn’t going the medical route honestly. I took organic chem, lots of physics, anatomy and physiology I and II. Just dumb to not end up in that field. Plus the same degree doesn’t require all those. Just needed them for post grad, yet ended up going straight to work.

I took a ton of Spanish classes too, but was still a few away from a minor.

Don't use any of them. I was in PR and adsales before I decided to switch careers to fire/rescue.
Other than a great time, college was a waste of money.

Same. Though sometimes I wonder if social engineering would be more profitable
