What do you wish you'd studied?

[Sheilbh]

Or are you perfectly happy with what you did at uni?

Of the courses I could do I wish I'd gone for history instead of English. More generally, like everyone, I wish I'd worked harder at A-level French

I also wish I'd been clever enough to do philosophy and physics as I met a few people who were doing that and it always sounded fascinating but way, way beyond me.

Welding.

[Razgovory]

Law.  I thought it was suppose to be hard, but looking around here, I'm thinking it's not as hard as I thought.  I mean, even Grumbler is an expert on law, and he's never studied it!

[Ideologue]

Do you have a bachelor's degree?  Then you can study law.

[Ed Anger]

Womyn Studies

[Eddie Teach]

I wish I'd gone to class more.

[Josquius]

History.
Doing something useful got me nothing so I might as well have studied something useless but easy and fun.

[garbon]

I also wish I had taken more history classes.

[Sheilbh]

I think history's a bit like English, it's pretty easy to get a 2.1 (though I know some people who didn't manage that) but tough to get a first.

I remember one tutor of mine who said the highest mark he'd ever given for an essay was an 85 (a first is 70) and it got published in a very respectable journal.

If I had taken a few business courses I'd probably have gotten into the whole entrepreneur thing earlier, which probably would have been good. A good stats course wouldn't have been amiss either. But mostly I'm content with what I studied, primarily fine arts and humanities of various sorts.

[Monoriu]

Made no difference in the civil service.

[mongers]

Navel matters.

I loved Political Science, particularly IR Theory, I just wish I kept going with it to the PhD level.  Alas, I had too much of a functional death wish through most of the 1990s to maintain the requisite academic focus.

Never had any aptitude or even interest in the sciences, except perhaps Geology or Meteorology.  AND WE HAVE AN OCCLUDED FRONT *HERE* BRINGING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE FOR RAIN

Had to do it all over again though, would've gone the English route or History and been a much more unproductive member of society.

[Ideologue]

Oh, geology, I forgot about that one.  Math's not too hard and you work for oil, which means both money and that your work benefits society as a whole (until we all die).

Alas a 2.1 is the only thing that matters in the uk. No matter whether it is in quantum physics or coronation street
