Why?
That stoopid witherspoon picture. I want to find it now.
he said what school he actually went to in the last EE chat i believe, but I dun care enough to go dig it up, so we're going with his cover
I got a worthless degree from a pretty good Uni. Been seriously thinking about going back to school. Probably will make a decision in the next few months.

I've never planned on relying on my arts degree to make a living. Instead I ran to family connections and made plans with my uncle to help him with his publishing business. It's good to know you have a back-up plan if you fail completely and don't get accepted into a good graduate or law school.

exactly, poschy, exactly.
my school alone gets me into a good law-school or MBA scheme. im doing the arts degree so i can spend 3 years being artsy, pretentious, gain some culture and get laid with some fiiiine, posh and well-kept artsy females. people that use the 'it's not vocational! snigger snigger!' argument against arts students are fucking missing the point. arts students are kids that can afford to spend 3 years doing heroin, reading poetry and generally being bohemian, bacchanalian awesome-bitches without worrying about 'the future'. im not and never have been worried about job prospects. i'll get serious and get adult about it when i'm actually 21+ and having to stare at the 'real world'. for now it's way more fun spending my inheritance, reading romanticist poetry to easily-impressionable hot girls, and spreading my royal-blue seed into all of the young debutantes of the english middle-upper classes. not quite as riveting as spending 4 years doing sums and equations so i can fit into an office-job position and become a cog in a machine, i know... but us libertine arts kids do try!
edit: Ken go back to school! you're never too old for young nubile cheerleaders. do it. do it. doooo eeet.

Alright, I'm out for the night. Just got a call from a group consisting of 1 guy and 5 girls; my odds are good.

I'm not worried about my job prospects, but a drug-using, poetry-reading lifestyle sounds horrid. Where's the science?!?!one!?!1
I can't understand being useless.
oh i read science and law and sociology and history and economics and psychology and philosophy and politics and classics and linguistics and everything
i guess the english education system is different to the us one - perhaps more all-encompassing. any higher-level education at any decent institution is going to shape you into a pretty well-rounded type, im hardly only concerned with some niche, esoteric area of victorian satire novels or some shit. i read all sorts in my spare time and as part of my course. in fact part of the initial attraction to english literature for me was that the scope of study literally touches upon pretty much everything, it's really hard to sum up but a wide understanding of generally everything lends itself very well to interpreting and reading a text. it's not quite high-school 'point out the metaphor' or 'does it rhyme?' level stuff.
i have respect for you science types but it's far too niche for me. spending 3 years studying something hideously introverted and specialist just narrows down the rest of your world view, as i see it anyway, and kinda buckles you down to one graduate-level career path, more or less, for your life- no? fuck going back into education aged 40-something when i have a midlife crisis and find that my degree in thermodynamic science doesn't quite give me as many opportunities as i had when i was a fresh-faced 22 year old. when i hear about people like liquidator, doing physics, who doesnt even have an interest or desire to read about current events or news, let alone any other area of academic interest, i recoil in horror. i like to know shit; literature is such a deep subject that it lets me delve into anything and everything, and it all contributes to something. that's a pretty unique perk, im sure poschy would agree with the learning style.
