fatrajah Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I endured 5 years of studying this subject & thought it the most boring & futile subject in the curriculum. Incidentally, I was taught the subject by the same teacher that had taught Roy Hattersley about 20 years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica23 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, I've been studying it for nearly twenty years now and I think it's great! Maybe you had a bad teacher, or maybe it's just not your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, at certain dinner parties, you can be certain that folk will be far more impressed by your ability to discuss the use of irony in the works of Jane Austen than by a knowledge of RT-PCR techniques in the study of signal transduction in fibroblasts.

fatrajah Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 if its not your thing why do it for 5 years???? id have dropped out after a year if i found it wasnt "my thing" It was compulsory to study it up to O-Level standard at that time (1963). I posted the topic hoping to elicit a few opinions about the usefulness of the subject in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly going to the wrong dinner parties then :-) Fibroblasts trump Austen every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
