<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

When I opted to major in English, I got(and ignored) all the standard comments on how I was wasting my money and time. But as a sophomore in college, I'm staring down the barrel of the rest of my life. I see everyone around me settling into majors and the reality of having to find a career path to support myself until I die is starting to dawn on me.

I'm stuck, Reddit, and I need to know how people in situations similar to mine handled this. I still have time to change majors without my English credits going to waste(I've pretty much filled the requirements for a minor). As for extracurricular activities, I'm currently being paid to write for my school's paper in the opinion section. It's something I love doing, even though the pay's shit, and I think I'm at least relatively good at it.
<bot>: To the people who majored/at one point majored in English, what should I do to make sure I don't have to live off Ramen for the rest of my life?
