I laughed so hard about the whole school marm bit, because that is why I didn't want to be an English major anymore - all the girls were wearing Laura Ashley print dresses and here was me. I know, broad generalization, but that was my experience. I know not all English majors are like that! (I know it now, anyhow!).

Don't dispair - it will be ok. At least you are working in your field. I have a Journalism degree and I working in finance!!!!

I'm sorry it sucks, girlie. I wish I could make it better for you
