Hey I'm doing a much more pointless degree here; Music Production. I've been told enough times by enough people that there are no jobs in the industry but I'm doing it because I'm good at it and I love it! And also because I'm not smart enough to do anything else, but I'm just happy to be going to uni. I don't want to miss out on the experience.
You've got to remember that at the end of the day every degree is still a degree. Whatever course you do you're still learning basic skills that all employers need, just dressed up with some other fancy stuff. If you don't get a job in the field you've studied for there are still plenty of decent paying jobs out there. I don't think anyone I know actually has a job in the degree they studied at uni, unless it's medical of course. Whatever job you end up at after uni you're going to start at the bottom.
And even though it's 100% not gonna happen it would be amazing if I did manage to do music production for a living!
