I am a freshman in highschool- looking into the future. Poetry is my passion (if you would like to read some check my other notes) and I want to incorperate it into my future. Is poetry not a big enough support/can you major in poetry at any college?
 
If your going to just write poetry books, then it doesn't pay much. Yes you can major in poetry at college.
I love poetry too but I'm going to do that on the side and major in psychology
it all depends on how far you want to go and you still have lots of time before you have to decide :)
 
From what I've researched, it would be hard to find a poetry major, but you can major in creative writing, which usually has concentrations in poetry. As for careers....teaching? I'm not quite sure...it seems to me like that would pretty much be it.
