"What do you want to do when you leave school?" and people's reactions to my answer.

Honestly I know a girl how works in HMV stocking shelves that went to uni and got a degree in Theology. Whats the point unless your going to use it?

Yeah you know, most people get a degree in things they'll use.

Some people will go just to expand their knowledge in a specific area (possibly your friend in theology), perhaps she just wanted to learn more on the subject and never intended to work in that profession.

In the case of this I say nope. When I found out about her choice of course I asked her about it thinking something similar to what you suggested. She did it because she had no idea what else to do... waste of time.

And some people are just idiots.

I wanted to leave that one out, now I find I can't. I wouldn't pin that on UNI offering useless degrees, I'd pin that on someone who had no idea what they wanted to do so picked something at random. Which is ridiculous.

I don't think uni's have useless degrees I mean if your aiming to be a Religious Studies teacher or professor a degree in theology is probably quite useful. But getting a random degree because you can is just moronic.
