At least your degree gives you a weird kind of geek street cred :p
I get a weird kind of geek street cred, too. Though for some reason, when most people find out you have a literature degree, they start listing off the reasons they don't read as often as they should. It's like I'm a priest, and they're apologizing for not coming often enough to confession.
I've tried to become a journalist and a professor -- both professions disappoint me. If I loved either enough, I'd fight for them, but only writing holds that kind of appeal for me.
