Yep. I know tons of people who got English, History, etc. degrees who are doing just fine with or without advanced (typically law) degrees after that. There's a certain bias here that if you don't get an engineering degree you might as well plan of digging ditches for the rest of your life.
But that isn't actually true. Lots of people (including many with engineering degrees) follow rather non-standard career paths that are still quite successful by any reasonable measure.
Just to clarify I was not implying a English degree is a bad thing. My sister is smart, she just didn't use it for anything or have any goals for it. So that is why i posed the question if it was a good choice (i had to use references i was familiar with in my post).
