I voted 'you're all elitist bastards' or something along those lines.

Does it make any difference to your life having a degree?
Am I missing out on something?
Dont people with degrees stack shelves at tescos?

 

[weepiper]

Mine is somewhere between Arts and Languages really but I voted for Arts because that's the faculty I was under. I have a BA (Hons) in English and Celtic, 1st class. It was mostly a language course but we did quite a bit of background cultural stuff in the Celtic part too.

I have never stacked shelves at Tescos but I did spend the first 4 years after graduating fixing pushbikes, and the remaining time since I've been fully occupied breeding

I don't know if it makes any difference or if you're missing out on something having not done it, but I really enjoyed finding out in depth and detail about a subject that really interested me. There's not too many other opportunities in life to do that (I think proper apprenticeships are one)

 

[weltweit]

BA Hons

Well if they'd told me when I started my degree that my university was actually a glorified recruiting agency for PriceWaterhouse Coopers and HSBC then I probably wouldn't have fucking bothered finishing it

Still, I didn't do a degree to get a job, I just wanted to learn stuff. I've done that, now I hope to leave my degree discipline behind forever in favour of more entertaining pursuits and occasionally surprising people at social occasions by telling them I have a genetics degree

IIRC I applied to do American Studies purely on the basis of getting a year in the US. in the end though, if I hadn't been accepted at art college, i was going to do combined history and philosophy.

hmm.

[pinkmonkey]

Ba hons fashion (footwear and leather accessories specialist).

Sounds like I learned how to make S & M harnesses doesn't it? We did have a part time tutor who was very fond of showing us the leather basques and corsets she had designed (modelled by her husband).

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

What harness course was you on pinkmonkey? (in a purely professional sense of course?)

that might have tempted me too

and i did, spent a year in champaign-urbana

 

[pinkmonkey]

Paulie: It wasn't a harness course at all - you can study to make harnesses (the horsey ones)and suitcases at Cordwainers in Hackney. We did feck all bags and belts - spent most of our time melting our brains learning to pattern cut width fittings for kids shoes. It was a good course though - more of an apprenticeship.
