non-'useless' degrees i can do from essay based subjects at a level?

One of the best degrees that my girlfriends is studying is PPE, Politics, philosophy and Economics, it is a very desirable degree for employers and is rapidly becoming a very popular degree. Top schools like Uni of Oxford LSE etc. offer it although you may need to do research as some request certain subjects.

im currently doing english sociogy and politics. I orignaly wanted to do law but it seems to competitve and appparently being a lawyer itself is miserable. Lawvwas the only high regarded well paying dgeree i can think off. I dont do math/science nor did i do well in those subjects at gcse so i have no idea what other degrees i can do on the essay/humantities side that will actually be usuelful and land me a good paying job. Does anyone know any?

I'd note you don't need to do a degree in law to become a solicitor in any event.

Note that time and again research has shown that long term employment outcomes for STEM and non-STEM graduates are equivalent, statistically.

Your degree subject is effectively a non-factor when it comes to applying to generalist grad schemes that have no specific required degree course. I know it's very popular for 6th form students to circle jerk over "this degree subject is better than that" but the reality is employers don't give a toss. They see you have a degree a 2:1 or above, tick that box on the recruitment process, and move on to assessing the rest of your CV.

Just do whatever you have a genuine intellectual interest in, so at least then when you get a job staring at spreadsheets for 8 hours a day like everyone else (whether they studied English lit, economics, physics, theoretical quantum biology, or underwater basket weaving) you can have some good memories of life before the endless toil of employment.


PPE normally requires maths, which the OP doesn't have.
