You really don’t need a degree in literature to become a published author. That’s like getting a degree in media studies so you can become a youtuber. Yeah, you could do it, and it may give you some advantages, but like… You’re already literate, right? Besides that, taking a class or two on literature or creative writing would give you a lot of the skills you need to get you on your way, which you can easily do while pursuing another degree that ensures greater monetary security or (less easily) at a community college while also working.
I’m not saying that the system that begets this thinking is good, but it is the one we live under.
I was going to ignore it but then you did it again and so now I can’t help but be a pedantic ass: it’s spelled “college”. Collage is those art pieces made of scraps of other art/media

I know…college is a joke for a lot of careers.
I made up this situation pointing out the opposing stereotypes of books and authors.
Reads lots of books = smart person who has lots of potential in life.
Writes lots of books = bum who can barley pay rent.

Yeah, the first time was for the joke. Second time must have been umm autocorrect.
I am defiantly not making things up to excuse my poor spelling…what can I say? I made a double oops 0ops.
You’re technically correct.
That’s the best kind of correct.
