So, my dad and stepmom don't think writing is a very stable career, and I agree. Writing isn't the most sound and stable career out there, but it's what I want to do. When they asked what I want to go to college for I told them english education, but I want to go for an english degree. I just don't think they get it. They're going to want all these possible jobs that I could get with an english degree, but I don't know many and the ones that I do know about aren't that easy to get. Although, writing is what I am really passionate about. They take it as a joke, though, like I'm not serious about it. Even though, I'm constantly writing my story. I don't know what to tell them or how to make them see that I really want to do this. I just wanted to get all this off my chest.

i'm w your parents on this one unfortunately. like. you can do english education, but that's gonna be your career. writing will always have to be a side thing. it's so rare someone can make a career out of just writing. it's good you understand that tho.

The problem isn't that they don't think writing is an unstable career because it definitely is. They don't think getting an English degree a good idea. They think I should get an English education degree instead, but that isn't what I want to go to college for. They don't see many opportunities with an English degree.

I mean most of the English teaches at my school have an English degree AMD not an English education degree? I think you'll be fine! Also, from one aspiring author to another, good luck on your book(s)!
