  5. Context might be wrong tho as Chinua Achebe switched courses because of the way Africans were portrayed in Western books and wanted to change that perspective so he had a strong reason for switching courses.

  6. We know many are called but few are chosen. Apart from Achebe's talent, he was very lucky, he had what I call 'the grace of God' in his writing career. Many writers today are poor and frustrated. Not everyone can be a Chimamanda Adichie. I'd encourage my child to read medicine rather than English. There are greater chances of making a decent living as a doctor than as a graduate of English. I'd cite the examples of Dr Wellesley Cole and Dr Sarif Easmon from Sierra Leone,who were both doctors and acclaimed writers as well, and Dr James James Ene Henshaw, who wrote the popular 'This is Our Chance.'
