| I have an Arts degree (German Literature) and have never regretted it, in fact have used many elements of it all my working life. I assumed I wouldn't get a job on the basis of my degree, so studied something vocational afterwards, and ended up for 6 years as a librarian specialising in mechanical engineering. The point of an Arts degree, in an academic subject, is to teach you to think, analyse, write, collaborate with others, assimilate vast numbers of books etc. If you ask many Science graduates what jobs they ended up in, as I did, at a recent school celebration, they are mainly far from their original degree subject, usually in law, management or accounting, all of which need the abilities I learnt at university. It is detrimental to confuse 'getting a university education' with 'doing something vocational'. |
