yes and no — i did an extremely non-vocational degree that has no connection to any particular industry or line of work beyond academia, teaching, or uhhh fast food apparently lol (it’s english lit) but it trained me to think critically and strategically, taught me to write/research/argue — stuff i still use

i’m glad i did a ‘useless’ degree bc it compels you to agentically orient yourself in relation to the world. plus it’s evergreen! skills are v resilient. it doesn’t lead/lock you into a career; you have to consistently make the connection/relevance — you have to be the one who makes the knowledge useful

I’ve not heard it framed this way. You‘ve put that degree to work in this very cast. Props.

haha thank you, the degree is a forcing mechanism to teach you think for yourself so you can justify your bizarre life choices to other people 😂

That aside, what was most fun about actually doing the degree. Lit is, ahem, lit?
