good USEFUL degree that is complimented by an english degree.?

I want to do enlgish or literature or something of the sort, but everywhere I search people are telling me its a borderline useless degree to get by itself. But, music and writing are my bag. So, I want to get a degree that would appeal to me, that's is complimented by enlgish ( not sure the exact major, maybe English, classical, or creative writing.) As I plan to continue writing on the side and seeing where it goes. I've written poems, essays, short stories, 3 novels I'm working on, countless songs/poems, and a possible comic If I can find an artist.

As a person I am adventurous, creative, write allot, smart, great at problem solving, head strong, love to travel, see new things and excelled greatly at things that keep my attention. I love music, poetry, stories, philosophy, moving around, travelling. I love to research and love to learn new things. I am only 23 and have a bookshelf with books about goats, medicine, firefighting welding, dog training, sewing , cooking and plenty of fiction. I even considered enlisting and trying for sniper but I'm trying to stay around my family.

Other jobs I have considered that English could help are

Lawyer- I'm smart, good at debating and good at reasearch but I'm not too excited over wearing a monkey suit and working the system for promotions and being clean cut. ( I have long hair that I'm dreading and plan to be covered in ink and peircings)

Surgeon- sounds easy enough. Plenty to learn. I'm not a very compassionate person to strangers. And already have a good understanding of hospital processes.

Physics/chemistry - another smart job, plenty to learn and research must be done. Still, it sounds like I'd be a rat in a cage.

Advertising- from what little I know of it, it sounds like it could be benefit from my creativity , but I know little about it.

That's a few but. I don't know about many jobs that involve creativity and could be used with English. Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a nonstop mind, I'm creative and must be confronted with new challenges often or I get bored and ansty and start doing self destructive things just for new things to happen. Hence the urge to learn to sniper. It's not all that often that I hear of people getting bored of people trying to kill them.

If u have a source please list it as I will want to research it.

    Definitely Creative Writing. It goes with an English degree (you can do a Joint Honours) and it matches your interests.

    I couldn't be bothered reading all that but you started by spelling English wrong so improving your spelling would be a start haha... I do English and creative writing and love it... English opens up so many doors in the journalism side of work, teaching, law... it's a traditional subject so I don't know where you got the idea that it's not a good subject alone :')
