Ask HejiraNYC
What is on your mind? What is keeping you up at night? Ask HejiraNYC.
Relationship issues? School issues? Career issues? Health issues? Financial issues? Technology issues? It's all good. Ask HejiraNYC. Need an opinion? Design, fashion, art, literature, music? Ask HejiraNYC. What are my qualifications? Plenty, that is, unless you are into degrees and learnin' and stuff. In that case, nada. But, hey, my advice is free, so you get what you pay for. And what's cheaper than free? Ask me anything. You can talk to me. Bonus points for you if you can tell I am exquisitely bored at work today. |

Hejira, I'm in the market for a new car. What do you think of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring wagon?

Oh this is brilliant!
Do you think a BA in English is a useless degree? Would I be wasting my time and money pursuing one? I have no interest or aptitude in math, science, or business. |

Quote:
It all depends on your intentions in pursuing a BA in English. If this is just for setting a foundation for higher levels of learning and graduate school, it should be okay. If you are planning on teaching and/or attaining tenure at an academic institution, it should be an okay stepping stone. If you don't have to worry about money, and pursuing a degree in English is personally gratifying for you, then it is definitely worthwhile. However, if this is for landing a lucrative income right out of school, the decks are stacked against you in this economy. In any event, a degree is a degree. And degrees most definitely open doors. However, that being said, if you plan to go no further with your education, you should consider areas of specialization that complement your educational background, and you should pursue internships or some kind of part-time entry level work in these areas. |

I couldn't care less about making a crapload of money. I just want to find a job that I don't hate and won't want to quit in six months. |

If you are pursuing a degree in English, consider the types of fields that would benefit from this background. An obvious area would seem to be in the area of media- web content, editorial work, advertising, publicity, etc. At the end of the day, regardless of your educational track, you need to figure out what you really want to do with your career. Do you have any ideas at all? |

I heard somebody say once that he thought he wanted a career, but it turns out he just wants a paycheck. That's more or less the way I feel. An awful lot of people just love to work, and they'd do it even if they didn't have to. I don't, and I wouldn't. |

My most important question: when are we hanging out?
But I empathize with workplace boredom, so here are a few just for the heck of it-- A good summer read you'd recommend? What fashion mistake do you think women make most often? Thoughts on tall women dating short men? I'm 5'8" and utterly infatuated with a 5'6" boy. Yea or nay?

So inquisitive! I shall address these one at a time...
Very important indeed! I have summer hours at work :happydance: , so I am usually at my house before sunset on Friday (yes, I take my time getting out there). When do you start croquet lessons with Kip and Tiffany? Quote:

It's appearing that the 2012 Presidential Election will be between Romney & Obama. Who do you think America will choose? Do you think minorities (especially African Americans) will come out in force again to cast their vote for Obama, or has the novelty worn off?

Why does Diet Dr. Pepper taste more like regular Dr. Pepper?
No seriously. I had a nightmare with Michael Keaton in it a few nights ago. I was at my aunts house (a place I've not been in over 15 years) and we were sitting on the sofa talking. At some point Keaton stopped talking to me and quickly left the room. Then I ran to the bathroom, looked in the mirror and I was this freakish looking monster. What do you think it means? Personally I think it's the pizza I ate the night beforehand...
