I feel like, no matter how much I love my major (something you've asked me about before), I will always get fucked over because it's not Computer Science or International Studies or something that's 'marketable and useful'.
My major is useful, damnit, and every time someone says it's 'cute but pointless' I want to cry. Or hit them. But usually cry.
I want to do a masters in religious studies, so I kinda get where you're coming from. Fuck them. Seriously, fuck them. I let people mocking me decide me about whether to do religious studies or english language, and as a result the only thing that preserved my sanity at uni was milliways. The degree is what counts, not what it's in. It says a lot about you, when you've got it - that you're determined, you see things through, you're bright... degrees can be adapted to what you want to do, it doesn't have to be the other way around.
