My mental arithmetic is quite good (higher than average) but my Trigonometry lets me down. <onlyjapanese>
Not quite I fail to see how they don't though, either of them? I've seen someone say this before, without attempting to back it up whatsoever. Therefore it's just an opinion. It's ridiculous, you must admit.
No, just that the only job they will be able to get that uses those degrees is teaching and it is well documented how difficult it is for young teachers to get work. Why spend all that money on a degree and get into so much debt to get a degree you won't be able to use? Hence the pointless nature of those degrees.
Yes. Okay then. You let yourself think that I agree that teaching is a difficult career to get into it, but there's far more things that just teaching that you can do with an English degree etc.
Is it because Irish people are stupider so they make the exams easier? What's wrong with an English degree anyway? It's hard work if you want a decent grade, and at least it's been around for a while unlike some of the joke qualifications around these days that seem to spring up every 5 minutes.
I just think it is limited in what graduates can do with it but there are even more pointless degrees out there like Fine Arts or History.
ive got 3 unlevels 1; the stairs going too bed wobble(thats unlevel) 2: the bed rocks when i get in(thats unlevel) 3: ride the mrs, she ****ing wobbles everywhere, fat bitch( thats unlevel )
How is it limited still? You've not stated how.... English degrees can help you into a lot of careers, barring the more specialist ones such as science and medicine etc etc media? journalism? publishing? even law. then of course lecturing and teaching. you can get into all aspects of the media with an english degree. I know someone who did an english degree then used it to help them get into media and they're now a director of live television for the BBC, earning a chunky sum of money. Also depends which area of history you study. But, as with English, history degrees can help you into a lot of jobs that aren't degree specific, again such as the sciences etc. Teaching is the obvious one, but also journalism, politics, the obvious historian, or author. History is even a popular degree for future accountants. Still limited? English, I would say, is actually one of the least limited degrees out there. yes, I'll admit, I am doing an English degree. But I've looked into it and the possibilities are endless (they aren't endless of course, but figure of speech). I'm sick of people assuming that if you do an English degree then you WILL become a teacher as that is the ONLY thing you're good for. Limited degrees are ones like golf management or leather technology or something daft like that...
You still need to complete additional courses in media, journalism etc to become fully qualified. An English degree on it's own is not useful which is what I am trying to say.
Great singer, NO but doing English has nothing to do with being a good singer but I suspect your comment was being sarcastic.
Neither are most things these days, lets be honest. But you're saying that if you do an English degree then you can't do anything OTHER than become a teacher. Teaching also requires extra qualifications, don't forget, and you have to go through years of teacher training. English and history degrees open up doors for a wide variety of careers. Just because it's more vague a career option than specifically doing golf management, as an example, doesn't mean it's worthless.
Nah, I do think KT Tunstall's a great singer. I would imagine doing a degree in English would be rather useful when it comes to songwriting tbh.
