Arts, like most non professional degrees, is what you make of it. Any degree can be looked at as a piss up, you just mightn't be happy when the finals roll around.

What are your goals? Are you looking to pursue an academic career or just looking for a few letters after your name to help you in the workplace or do you want to teach?

If u want to get a job out of your degree you will have to do another year or two after the inital three years. Correct me if im worng but do u have to pay to do a masters in arts?

I did Arts - you get out of it what you put into it. If you spend the whole time drinking and barely scrape a pass, that won't be much but if you keep up with your lectures and take an interest, it's very informative and enjoyable and you should get good grades.

You usually have to pay for a master's but there are scholarships and grants and so on available too.
