I 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 My degree is in radio production. I’m a former welder who works in quality and training management.
Are those connected? Nope.
But boy did I enjoy those three years spent having fun and broadening my horizons.
