English Literature

Hello Everybody

I am starting Sixth Form tomorrow and was wondering if I could ask you all if you think English Literature is a 'soft' A-Level to have?

What career prospects do you gain from having English Literature A-Level?

I have heard numerous people tell me that it is a worthless A-Level unless you have a fairytale dream of becoming an Author, then again I have heard many others tell me that it benefits other subjects and makes you seem educated to numerous universities.

I have already chosen Law as my 4th A-Level but I have learnt since then that it is an EXTREMELY soft A-Level to have and I was hoping to tell my Director of Sixth Form for a 'transfer' tomorrow.

So....Any help would be appreciated

Thank you to those who reply

I did English literature in my first year of college which was a bad decision for me because my other 3 subjects were maths physics and economics... However I found it really fun as I enjoy reading and poetry... It is not a 'soft' a level however it wasn't as intense as maths and physics I reckon... The coursework isn't difficult just a ball ache so I advise u to get it done as soon as.. My teachers were great and we did a lot of role play and watched movies of the books we studied and plays... It all depends on how much you enjoy books to be honest and whether you have a maths brain or an English brain... I ended up with a B in coursework and an E in the exam as I didn't revise and I only read a quater of pride and prejudice overall I got a D.. If u enjoyed GCSE English lit then go for it! U can always change during the first few weeks of college anyway

I was starting to believe that I didn't have a future due to me being bad at science and all
