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

@purplepadma I went to a vocational college as opposed to a university with the idea I'd get a Practical Education ™️ and a job, only to have the industry I was training for suffer a major crash 9 months before I finished my degree. My current career has nothing to do with anything I trained for and now I recommend strongly that kids follow their hearts rather than some sure thing idea for a future career
@pseudandry That’s what I said to my kids, if you’re going to be saddled with student debt do it for something you really love
