Education: UK
"Oz" wrote in message ... Jim Webster writes as I grow older I realise that I should have stuck to the arts side, i could happily and blathered my way through with no real effort. Science tends to be hard work and on a strict cost benefit analysis you will note that you often get a similar sort of job with a arts/humanities degree as you do with a science You are correct. What's more the kids have spotted this, hence the significant reductions in science/maths applications and the rise of media studies. It was always so. The scientific civil service was always regarded as the domain of the working class within the civil service. The difference today is that with the growth in fashion, media, retailing, etc. there are opportunities for working/lower-middle class graduates with humanities degrees. There probably still aren't many openings for them in banking, government, etc. though. Michael Saunby |
