Most OVERRATED and UNDERRATED degrees

That is still possibly what happens. Science degrees are usually significantly harder than Economics degrees but Economics graduates usually earn significantly more than Science graduates.

There is little correlation between the difficult of a degree and the life-time earnings a graduate of that degree can expect to earn. Chemistry is a testament to this.

Computer Science is massively underrated considering how vitally important it is.

Most other degrees are overrated.

What do you study? Economics?

And where do you study?

Law is hugely overrated unless you go to a top university targeted by magic circle firms

Computer Science is also overrated unless you are truly brilliant with computers (most CS students would be better off doing communications or Software development etc)

Economics is underrated and so is Chemistry/Chemical engineering type courses.






This is so true.

CS has the Law degree effect going on; computer science is an extremely important part of pretty much everyone's life and really great jobs in computer science exist, but the standard of most CS grads is way below what is needed to actually be developing software to the standard consumers expect. Unless you are naturally very talented, it puts you in that horrible position of feeling too qualified/being too specialised for generic non-specialist jobs you could use to work up, but also being not quite good enough for employers to consider you for the jobs you expected.

I personally think most degrees are overrated. This nonsense that 50% of us have to get a degree has just impoverished many of us. You can now get a degree in nannying from Norlands - WHAT! - . And it is blooming expensive.

Self Defence

These sessions focus on teaching the students to protect themselves and the children in their care. Students are taught basic self defence techniques and strategies for handling a potentially threatening situation. They are also trained in tactics for limiting risks and avoiding danger.

Driving Skills

All our students learn life saving skid control techniques. The first part of the course involves attending a classroom session to learn the general theory about what causes a car to skid. Students then put the theory to practice and, under close supervision, they learn how to handle vehicles in snowy and icy road conditions.

It isn't a question of what I think, it is a question of what employers think.

The Sutton Trust recently published an article with an in depth look at the potential earnings of each degree and, I'm sorry to say, History and English scored very poorly.

A degree from a top university is always going to have it's uses, but a English Degree is almost always less useful than, for example, a Maths degree.

Is economic good ? I am planning of studying economics and maths

Unless you want to go into law, publishing, journalism, civil sector, academia as a lecturer etc.
