Health And Wellness

What major should i go for,English or Health and wellness?

Which one of these two majors do you think i would benefit more from career wise? Which one do you think pays more?

If you’re deciding only based on salary (which isn’t a great idea) and job outlook, then the medical field is the way to go. Not quite sure what careers the Health and Wellness major would prepare you for, but that’s something you should look into. See what most graduates of the program end up doing, where they go to work, and what their salaries are. If you ARE interested in the medical field, you might want to look into majors that have a more definitive career path, simply because there are plenty (nursing, radiology, ultrasound tech, dental hygiene, physical therapy, etc).

I personally think you should go with whichever major interests you more. I’ve learned first hand that going into the medical field for the money simply doesn’t work if you don’t have the passion for it. Life is too short to make a lot of money at a job you hate. If English interests you more, you can make it work for you.

Basically, the point of my answer is to not choose a career based on compensation. It’s good to look at job prospects, outlook, and pay, but money doesn’t buy happiness. If you have a passion/interest for something, you can be successful at it. No degree is useless, even if you have to try harder to make it work for you.
