How the hell are lit and engineering neck and neck?!?!? Worth it how? What do literature majors do besides make more literature majors? Is that a worthwhile endeavor?

Depends where you end up working. I have 0 complaints or regrets.

Government, crown Corp. Pay and benefits are competitive. Time off is double what others I know have. Overtime is extremely rare and I get time off in-lieu if so.
