I totally know your frustration in the major/minor decision. I graduated with a major in writing and a minor in New Testament Greek, but after college I had always assumed I'd take a technical writing positon. Well, I ended up taking a position as a journalist. That was during a time when my husband was traveling for work all the time and was home only on weekends, so the job just about made me want to kill myself. Being a journalist is a wonderful and exciting job if you don't have any children, but for those of us with children, not so much. I worked about 50-60 hours a week, sometimes at the drop of a hat when breaking news happened, and my days were never ever predictable. Usually I'd get Kaydn Rye to the babysitter about 9:00, at 5:00 I'd have to pick him, get dinner ready, pick up a youth group girl to babysit him until I got home, go back to work, and finish the work day about 8:00 or 9:00 at night just to get Kaydn ready for bed so I could start the next day over again. Sorry about the long post, but I'm just letting you know I'm there with you in your decision. I'll talk at you later. Hey Leah – I somehow stumbled on your blog.

About 50% of what I've done for the last five years has been technical writing, and it's far more interesting than college would lead you to think. It's all about finding a niche.
