<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

Hey reddit,
I am having an issue with trying to figure out what to do with my life as far as future careers go. I am currently taking my bachelor of arts degree, majoring in English, and I am about to take my second year of university. I am really stressed out about trying to figure out what I am going to do with this degree, or whether i should even continue on this path. I really enjoy writing, but I don't know if I can really make a sustainable living from it. Of course I get a lot of grief from my friends who constantly rag on my for taking arts, but it is something I really like to do. Is there anyone out there who can give me words of encouragement possibly from their own experience? And which kind of careers should I possibly look in to?
