  Ross, you are right in terms of job skills, but there really is a wider picture relative to simply learning. My husbands first degree, for example, was a joint hons linguistics and philosophy - it opened up his thoughts and contributes to our relationship, his life, his ability to think, hius perceptions of the world - but it has no formal relationship to what he does for a living! These are the kinds of degrees that end up having to justify their existence because they don't necessarily lead to a work qualification, although they might if one pursued teaching or speech related therapy. My field is theology and the classics - no use whatever in the Real World!! But what a loss if we reduced access to this knowledge.
