<prompt> Human: I saved up about 3,000 and in a month or so I will be attending community college. I am pursuing an English degree with hopes of being a writer someday. My second option is a degree in computers but the twist is that it takes a lot of math and math really isnt my expertise. My question is am do the right thing to have a successful future or am I setting myself up for failure?  <response>: Yes. Yes you are. Get a degree to make money, not to follow your dreams. Very few people make it as writers. When searching for a career, it should be something you dont hate and it pays well. That way, you can still spend your free time doing what you love.
