Fun (but expensive) way of becoming a barista.
Shit take, tbh.
Coursework will include the study of Western dragons in lore, literature and art; archaeology theory; the depiction of women in the Middle Ages; the practice of deception and illusion; and the philosophy of psychedelics. Through the lenses of Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, lecturers will explore how magic has influenced society and science.
Do you also object to degrees in literature, art, archeology, sociology, philosophy, theology and history? Or is it this specific combination that's objectionable for you?
The knowledge of western dragons in lore and the practice of deception and illusion aren't going to get anyone a job outside of a few niche institutions.
I think you're telling on yourself that you can't possibly imagine a reason for studying something other than "What will get me a job?". Which is sad.
Aside from that - it's a postgraduate degree. It's primary function is to bridge the gap between undergraduate study and a career in academia.
So yes. Obviously degrees like this are geared toward someone who has a cross-discipline interest in a particular field or topic.
A masters from Exeter costs between $44,000 and $67,000. So no, I don't think I'm telling on myself when I say that I don't want a mountain of student loan debt without a reliable way to pay it off.
The only thing sad about it is that colleges and universities charge the ridiculous amount that they do in the first place.
There are two reasons to get a degree:
-
Job
-
Rich and bored.
You sound sheltered if you think there's any other reason to pay tuition.
-
Sounds like someone has yet to even attend college...
