I majored in English and Psychology little knowing it was the perfect degree for content marketing. I didn't even know what content marketing was, but when a friend asked me to write blog posts for their law firm, I jumped at the chance to get paid to write. I wrote on the side while working a day job, but after a couple of years, the writing grew to the point where I couldn't do both, so I quit the day job to write full time.
