Charlotte WalkerI see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers
Martin Howitt@purplepadma I did a degree in physics. Am I now a physicist? No. Am I earning a good salary? Also no. Did I study a subject I was passionate about? Also, also no.

This made me lol because my dad is a physicist and I can absolutely picture him saying this. (Though he did use his degree in his work.)
