This absolutely true. English majors also valuate everyday things on a deeper level, we can analyze everything too! That's why we picked our majors! Thank you. This absolutely true.

Art is, in my opinion, often based in science and math. There are many examples throughout history of marriages between art and science, whether one is studying Leonardo da Vinci or M.C. Escher.

To preface, I'm an English and Physics double-major. Having said that, I think you undervalue English as a field. It has nothing to do with learning "all of Shakespeare's plays." We don't sit around talking about poetry and feelings. We analyze the interplay of sign systems that produces the author's moral statement, just like how we analyze in physics how the laws of our universe underpin the natural world. English Literature is just as analytic as physical science. It is absolutely practical for medical school; it's preparation for the rhetorical and critical-thinking skills required by a physician, for both care and research, on a daily basis.

Aside from a career, what about having many perspectives of life? People must realize that there is much more to themselves and others than just a job. What about life itself? You can't narrow it down to just one thing, not even your one career or passion, no matter how hard you try. We don't realize that there is so much in this world that influences us. Those who think that "pure science" is the only thing in science, I'm sorry to say that you are completely misinformed. Those who think artists are a lazy bunch of freeloaders, please enlighten yourself. Just as a great doctor or scientist must work long hours and test their patience and drive, so must a great artist in order to hone their skill and their thought process. Neither of these are easy in the slightest, but both require the same skills. Analysis, logic, confidence, precision, and an endless amount of thought and creativity. Notice that I say "great". There are many people in both of these professions, but the few who are truly successful embody all of these qualities. P.S. I'm a double major. P.P.S. Guess them.
