Analysing literature is useless

But you can't go into literature analysis because it isnt a career. So science has many careers with actual transferable skills.

Sciences smell like social retardation.

Last time I checked English Literature graduates also pay taxes

An English Literature degree is of some benefit; those taking one generally know how to spell 'interest'

OK, that was a cop-out, but so is this thread.

Whilst analysing literature is useless it is an intrest subject. However it is a waste of money on funding on degrees on this intrest where no skills that benefit people are gained.

Yes, culture is a waste of time, just like life. You may now proceed to Level 2.

Hahahaha that's amazing!

Culture is not analysing literature. Useful culture is food. Because thats something we eat, a key life skill. Hoewever analysing literature is not edible. It is the most basic scientific classification system but unfortunately you but an english slant on culture, where really it should be edible or unedible

what the **** are you on about????????????

English literature serves a purpose in many ways. For example, how long would it take a mthematician or physicist take to re-learn all their laws and derivations, they would not contribute much to adding to society's knowledge on their respective subject. Equally, with an English Literature degree, many graduates actually create some of their own literature, and sometimes even publish it *GASP* . They do this using the skills learnt from analysing previous literary masters, and occasionaly will improve on them, the same way math and science people do it. And if you're going to argue that books and fiction too are uselss, your opinion is contrary to most triple-digit IQ's... And anticipating another alternative attack on the actual lecturers who don't actually write anything themselves... We need someone to actually guide these prospective authors, so their job serves a purpose too...
