Yes, learning for learnings sake means reading a book or something.... I chose arts to get a job out of it, and a good one at that. Look at the stats, you'll find more arts graduates employed than others. Yes most of them may be in tesco's but wtf

The moral of the pretentious rant: study hard and get a good honour - or learn how to make a good cappucino. Alternatively, why not be self-employed? instead of working to make money for some looser. Appoint yourself CEO or your own imaginary company. And let me know if you're hiring

It's naive in that it assumes that one needs to go to university to "learn for the sake of learning". IMO, this has become uneccessary. The subjects I'm truly knowledgeable on, and can honestly say I have learned purely for interest's sake and not for "educational" (i.e. career) purposes, are the ones I have studied or been active in outside of college. :cool:

Well obviously you can learn things in places other thet university :rolleyes:

Sorry.
I too am in a pissy mood due to exams.

Personally I learn better after a bit of nod in the direction. And I think university can be a good environment to learn in if you're interested in your subjects.
